Great Pics... and yes, I think the little Browning BLR is a great little rifle.. have used/shot one on several occasions..have a good friend who owns one..

I too had a Winchester 30/30 back in the day ..used it for hunting whitetail deer in the river bottoms..close quarters shooting.. quick shots, worked very well.. so well, traded it for a different rifle..

Still have several lever actions.. one is a Marlin 22 rimfire.. another Marlin in 45/70 that I keep in my camper trailer for bears and such when camping with the family...modern, stainless, laminated stock, ghost ring sight.. had the trigger worked on as it sucked out of the box.. now is very nice and shoots very well.. thinking of taking it to Africa John, hunt some buffalo..

Lever actions are very fast and fun to shoot... plain and simple..
