As a rule, lever-action aficionados have always had to trade away power and accuracy for quick handling and easy carrying. With the Browning BLR those compromises are a thing of the past. The design of the BLR is as modern as tomorrow with an aircraft-grade alloy receiver, glass-smooth rack and pinion system and multi-lug rotating bolt that handles many of the most popular magnum cartridges, including the fast new WSMs. The exceptional accuracy of the BLR comes from its precision machined, button-rifled barrel that puts those fast-stepping magnum bullets exactly where they're wanted. Add in the advantages of several great stock designs and finishes, a detachable box magazine, low profile adjustable sights and a wide, grooved trigger that travels with the lever to avoid pinching fingers and it's clear the Browning BLR is ready for any action.

22" Barrel, 7mm WSM
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 7mm Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) was introduced along with the 270 WSM in 2002. Case length is 2.100-inches, allowing it to be housed in most short bolt actions, yet the efficiency of its short, fat case allows performance very similar to the 7mm Remington Magnum. Despite obvious value the 7mm WSM has not yet become popular, perhaps as a combined result of the large number of unbelted magnums introduced in a short period; and the large number of fast 7mm cartridges on the market. Whether popular or not, the 7mm WSM is an accurate and effective cartridge, suitable for any purpose one might envision for the 7mm Remington Magnum.
