An exciting feature of the Browning BLR is the detachable box magazine instead of a traditional tube mag. The Browning BLR detachable magazine allows you to use pointed tip ammunition for more precise shots at extended ranges and far superior stopping power.

These higher-pressure calibers are made possible by the BLR’s unique lever and bolt design, and the trigger moves with each action of the lever to prevent trigger-finger pinch when the lever is closed.
With the Browning BLR, you get a lightweight lever action rifle that delivers rapid-fire use of hard-hitting big game cartridges.
Citadel LevTac 92
This last lever action rifle represents a combination of age-old rifle technology and modern industry-standard updates. While the LevTac 92 doesn’t offer a tribute to historical nostalgia, it does feature all the best tactical features you can get at a more affordable price.
For less than one thousand dollars, the Citadel LevTac 92 features either a 16.5-Inch or 18-Inch barrel and supports .357, 44 Magnum, and 454 Casull ammunition.
The Citadel LevTac 92 includes an extended M-LOK Picatinny rail system for tactical deployment of many accessories and even an optic rail for red dots or more comprehensive eye-relief optical solutions.
The Citadel LevTac 92 also sports an eight-round capacity and features a rear peep and standard front sight.
Although the Citadel company is not as well-known a brand as Winchester, Henry, Marlin, and other lever action rifle manufacturers, this rifle offers many of today’s tactical modern-day features you’ll likely need when in the field.
Nostalgia-free, the Citadel LevTac 92 is still built around 1892 lever action technology that’s proven its reliability for over one hundred years.
Choosing a Lever Action Rifle
Any one of these five lever action rifles will allow you ample opportunity to relive historic firearm technology as you cycle through rounds at the range or during a hunt.
They are also highly adaptable, so you can decide to turn it into a tactical lever action with aftermarket parts.
Your reasoning for choosing a lever action rifle may be because you enjoy how it operates each time you fire. Or you may want a gun using technology that’s survived years of unique history.
It’s also worth noting that if you live in a place that restricts your right to bear arms and doesn’t want you owning a semi-automatic action gun, then a lever action rifle would theoretically not violate the law but that all depends on your location.
Regardless of the need, a lever action rifle is one sure way to compliment your collection and is certainly something you’ll want to include in your gun case.
