Take them both and change up every couple of days. Just don't forget to change your ammo too.

You are not making it easier lol

Maybe that's a good compromise of sorts. Taking them both and seeing which one I prefer once I am actually hunting? Its a week long hunt so that might be an option.

Any benefit in swapping the scopes between the two?

How accurate does that browning pump shoot? I seem to remember a series of ads from the 90's or so they did for the BAR, BLR, & BPR. Always thought those were nice looking rifles

Superbrad, you hate levers?

OMG, I don't know if we can still be friends! How the heck would we have 'won the west' without levers? What about John Wayne, didn't you love him as a kid? OMG OMG OMG, I can't believe I just read you don't like levers!

Wait, you said HATE, OMG I can't believe it!

A devastated Jay!

Oh, and which one do you hate more, my 35 Rem or 30-30? (Chuckle)

A marlin 336ss with the wwg trigger happy and wolff spring kits installed.
Leupold vx2 2-7x32mm scope ideal for both brush and field.
The wwg is a better trigger than any blr trigger made and you don't need any more power than a 30-30 win to kill a deer.
Mine likes the factory rem 170 grain core lokt ammo.
The core lokts perform well at 30-30 velocities.

I plan on installing the WWG trigger in both mine...

Agreed that the 30-30 is plenty horsepower to kill a deer & I have seen it take a moose cleanly as well.

I'd never heard of the BPR until this thread. Never seen one.
I dislike BLRs.
So, I cannot recommend either rifle.
The VX6 1-6 is about as good as scope as you could ever get for ON deer hunting. Whatever you choose, put that scope on it.

It's an easy install. 10 minutes max.
Might as well replace the factory hammer spring with a wolff while you're at it.
Smoothest cycling levergun you can imagine.
I had no problem getting both kits from brownells.

I hate the 30-30 more.... lol.....

From my experience, the 30-30 lever is the tool of the ultimate fudd..... it's the cheapest "deer rifle" money can buy and is crafted for the "one box of ammo lasts five years" crowd, that sights in and says "good enough".....

That being said, I have no doubt that the 30-30 can be very effective when used within its limitations.... I just see countless threads about stretching it out.....

Have you looked in a gun store in the past decade? This is totally false.
