Special Features

• The rack and pinion operating system lets the action cycle in a straight line rather than swinging the lever in an arc, which speeds up cycling and shortens the lever throw.
• A rotary detachable box magazine allows this BLR to safely load and feed pointed spitzer bullets, unlike tube fed lever guns that require flat nose bullets.
• The exposed hammer includes a half cock safety position, letting you carry the rifle with a round chambered while keeping the action quiet to operate around game.
• Gloss finished black walnut stock wood pairs with a polished blued barrel and receiver for a traditional lever gun appearance.
• The drilled and tapped receiver comes ready for scope mounting, so you can add optics without gunsmithing work.
• Button rifled, heat treated chromoly steel barrel construction supports long term accuracy retention across repeated range and field use.
