Yes you hold on target. Rope between trigger and buddy's truck bumper. He peels off till it goes bang. Now because he's connected to you, you may wanta check hunting laws in both counties
I guess this drivel makes sense in your head???

Oh and how. Knowing when a GOOD trigger will break is paramount. This a sh1t trigger and never breaks the same twice. Browning ought stick to bumper stickers

I really don't think the BLR was intended to be used as a long range shooter,.. IMO they were intended to be used as a easy carrying close to medium range woods hunting rifle that could provide quick follow up shots if needed,.. with the capability to take the odd longer range shot on a barren or pole line.
As for shooting off hand at a deer standing 300yrds away,.. I personally would not be comfortable trying a shot like that with the best bolt action rifle money can buy,.. some guys might do it but not me.

Sorry, but I think you may have misunderstood what I meant in my previous post,.. I was referring to the intended use and chamberings of the BLR in it's early years,.. not the current offerings of today. Personally, if I was going to buy a 7mm or 300 magnum for a long range (400yrd+) rifle, it would not be a BLR,.. I would choose a bolt action, as would most people,....... but for a nice carrying, short action, quick handling, general purpose hunting rifle, the BLR is hard to beat,......Now, with all that being said, IMO, the BLR being offered in the high pressure long range chamberings is a testament of there quality of build and capability as a lever action,.. they are a great rifle.

I remember hearing/seeing something about Henry putting out these rifles but forgot all about them until you posted this. They are a very nice looking rifle, really nice wood, and from what I have seen of them on YouTube they are quite accurate,... only problem is, from every video I have watched they seem to have problem with ejecting the spent casing, lots of times it doesn't clear the action and has to be picked out manually,... maybe by now Henry has fixed that problem,.. I hope so because other than the ejection problem I would say they would make a nice hunting rifle.
My wife gave me the money, 500 $, to purchase one as a Christmas gift 34 years ago, love this rifle and will never part with it. This year i reunited with it for a moose hunt in Quebec,i had lent my go to rifle , a model 70 in .270, to my Swiss son-in-law. We were hunting in the Dunières reserve and our hunting party had agreed we would try to shoot a large cow moose. This practice is common in the reserve as they have a large cow to bull ratio. On opening morning during the first hour of hunting i spotted a large cow at short range. One well placed shot and she dropped immediately, i have seen very few moose fall that quickly. I use winchester ballistic silvertip 168 grain bullets in this rifle, this round has performed well for me in .308 caliber over the years.
