Browning BLR Lightweight Pistol Grip Lever Action - 300 Win Mag - 24" - Blued:

The BLR is ready and waiting to be your first - or next - lever-action hunting rifle. The combination of a detachable box magazine and a strong, multi-lug bolt allows it to be chambered for modern hunting ammunition, including magnum calibers. The lightweight aluminum receiver houses the smooth operating rack and pinion action and is also tapped for scope mounts to take full advantage of the rifle's range and accuracy. A folding, four position hammer is an added measure of safety in the field. The sights include a low-profile, adjustable square notch rear sight and a high-visibility front blade with gold bead fitted on a raised ramp-style base.

The curved grip BLR stock is contoured for maximum comfort and the flared Schnabel fore-end tip adds a classic touch of style. The stock also has a deep, glossy finish that brings out every nuance of the wood's warm color and grain. The recoil pad helps reduce felt recoil and flinching. Steel sling swivel studs are pre-installed for easy mounting of a sling or bipod.

300 Winchester Mag:

The .300 Winchester Magnum (also known as .300 Win Mag or 300WM) (7.62x67mm) is a popular, belted, bottlenecked magnum rifle cartridge that was introduced by Winchester Repeating Arms Company in 1963 as a member of the family of Winchester Magnum cartridges. The .300 Winchester Magnum is a magnum cartridge designed to fit in a standard length action. It is based on the .375 H&H Magnum, which has been blown out, shortened, and necked down to accept a .30 caliber (7.62 mm) bullet.

The .300 Winchester is extremely versatile and has been adopted by a wide range of users including hunters, target shooters, military units, and law enforcement departments. Hunters found the cartridge to be an effective all-around choice with bullet options ranging from the flatter shooting 165 grain to the harder hitting 200+ grain selections available from the factory. The .300 Win Mag remains the most popular .30 caliber magnum with American hunters, despite being surpassed in performance by the more powerful .300 Weatherby Magnum and the newer .300 Remington Ultra Magnum. It is a popular selection for hunting moose, elk, and bighorn sheep as it can deliver better long range performance with better bullet weight than most other .30 caliber cartridges. Military and law enforcement departments adopted the cartridge for long range sniping and marksmanship. As a testament to its accuracy, since its introduction it has gone on to win several 1,000-yard (910 m) competitions

Suggested Use:

  • Deer (long range)
  • Black Bear (long range)
  • Sheep / Goat (long range)
  • Moose
  • Elk
  • Buffalo / Bison

Performance:

The Winchesters factory ammunition for the .300 Winchester Magnum is capable of 3,260 feet per second (990 m/s) with the 150-grain (9.7 g) bullet and 3,000 ft/s (910 m/s) with the 180-grain (12 g) bullet. The maximum point blank range for the 150 gr (9.7 g) bullet is 318 yards (291 m) yards when zeroed at 270 yards (250 m). The maximum point blank range for the 180 gr (12 g) bullet is 300 yards when zeroed at 254 yards (232 m). The ability to zero the .300 Winchester Magnum and shoot without hold over to 300 yards (270 m) makes the cartridge one of the flatter shooting cartridges.
