When selecting a defensive rifle for home or vehicle carry, shooters need a balance of stopping power, accuracy, and quick handling. The right platform should be reliable under stress, comfortable to carry, and compatible with common defensive calibers.

BROWNING BLR

Why the BROWNING BLR stands out for defense

The BROWNING BLR is a lever-action rifle engineered for power, accuracy, and rapid handling. Its aircraft-grade alloy receiver keeps weight down to a manageable 6 lb 8 oz while maintaining rigidity. A precision-machined button-rifled 20″ barrel with a 1:12 twist delivers consistent accuracy for .308 Win loads, and the multi-lug rotating bolt provides reliable strength to handle standard or magnum cartridges.
