Detailed Features

The single-stage trigger has a gold plated finish and gives a clean pull. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting. Construction is blued steel barrel over an aluminum alloy receiver, keeping weight down without sacrificing durability. The crowned muzzle reduces barrel-end damage and helps consistency.

The detachable magazine allows safe loading of pointed spitzer bullets, which are not safe in tube-fed .30-06 rifles under recoil.

Usage

The .30-06 Springfield remains one of the most widely used deer and elk cartridges in North America. In the BLR's lever-action platform it pairs the caliber's versatility with quick cycling for follow-up shots. At 7.3 lbs it is heavy enough to dampen recoil without being a burden on a day-long hunt.

What Reviewers Say

Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.

I was surprised a little bit. It is a nicer rifle, more desirable than I would have thought.

hickok45

It's got a high comb on the uh on the stock, and it does punch you. It It's got some recoil.

hickok45

The trigger, I think, is supposed to be 4 and a2 pounds. It feels a little heavier than that, but uh it's not bad.

hickok45

John doesn't like it too much. He thinks it feels a little mushy.

hickok45

It is alloy and that's a turnoff to some people. Some people would rather have a steel receiver.
