Browning BLR Lightweight | .308 Win | 20″ | 034018118

The Browning BLR Lightweight in .308 Win pairs a 20-inch button-rifled stainless barrel with a satin-nickel alloy receiver and a gloss black walnut pistol-grip stock. It is drilled and tapped for scope mounts and retains adjustable iron sights for no-optic carry. For an optic under $1,000 that complements the BLR’s capabilities, consider a 3-9×40 variable such as the Vortex Crossfire II which provides a useful magnification range for field use without exceeding the rifle’s intended role.

Built to serve as a versatile sporting rifle, the BLR Lightweight is appropriate for field use and medium-range precision work where a compact, magnum-capable lever rifle is desirable. Its feature set includes a crowned muzzle, adjustable sights, and sling swivel studs for practical utility in the field.
