Browning BLR Lightweight ’81 – .30-06 Springfield, 22" Barrel, 4-Round Magazine (034006126)

This is the classic BLR Lightweight ’81 in .30-06 Springfield: a 22-inch sporter barrel, detachable 4-round box magazine, and the rack-and-pinion lever action that lets you run pointed bullets instead of fighting a tube magazine. Polished blued steel over a Grade I black walnut straight-grip stock, aluminum-alloy receiver, drilled and tapped for a scope. Browning item 034006126, UPC 023614240365.

Lever Action Built for Modern Ammo

Most lever guns feed from a tubular magazine and force you into round-nose or flat-nose bullets. The BLR uses a detachable box magazine, so pointed, Spitzer-style hunting loads are fair game — including this long-action .30-06. Browning’s rack-and-pinion lever design and multi-lug rotating bolt head give the action the strength to handle that cartridge class cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot pointed bullets in this lever gun?
Yes. The detachable box magazine is the whole point of the BLR platform — pointed hunting bullets are compatible, unlike traditional tubular-magazine lever actions.

Does it come with sling swivel studs?
Browning lists sling swivel studs: None on this configuration. Plan on aftermarket studs or a different sling setup if you want a sling.

Is the receiver drilled and tapped?
Yes. Browning publishes this model as drilled and tapped for a scope.

What does the folding hammer do?
Browning describes a four-position folding hammer: full-cock, half-cock, folded, and dropped/fired. It is an additional safety margin on top of the lever/trigger interlock.
