Henry Long Ranger or Browning BLR

[davans]

Does anyone have some first hand experience with these two rifles?
I’m getting the itch for a nice lever gun in .308 Anyone have a good comparison of the 2?
Really interested in the accuracy comparison.

Don't know about the Henry, but I love my BLR. Shoots sub minute with factory ammo. Has a good trigger and very nice balance.

I'd go stainless whichever you choose.
I've had the same itch lately ,myself. With no first hand experience either. But normally when I find myself in this dillema,I ask myself which will hold resell value the best, if I decide its not for me.
Therefore I'm gonna go with the BLR.
I think for the difference in price, which isn't that much once you pass the 1k mark,anyhow I think I'd be happier.
But I've been wrong before.

I love my Henry but I've had Brownings in the past that I liked as well. Difference for me is customer service. Henry is a-one in customer service and like they say "Made in America or not made at all!"

And you'll never find a smoother action out of the box than on a Henry.

I looked the Henry up, nice rifle. It looks like they're both pretty equal. If I were going with a Browning, I'd find an old steel receiver model. That said, the lever isn't the most accurate design. Usually a 2" group at 100yds would be the norm. Both are clip fed, something easy to loose. In that instance, I like a side loader. But then you're limited to a short range cartridge. I've been down this road. To settle the dilemma I wound up with a quality single shot rifle with a ammo sleeve on the stock. I've taken three deer at a time with any action you can think of. With the sturdy single shot the sky is the limit with cartridge and it's more accurate to boot. I do like a good lever action and always have, but it's limited to what you can do. That said, you could go with a 45-70. It's taken everything that walks on the planet, you're just limited on range. And recoil with a 7lb rifle in this cartridge I wouldn't consider comfortable

What kind of accuracy are you getting out of your Henry ?
