lever or bolt help me out??

[curt]

Ok fellows here it is I've been looking at a Browning A bolt but now I'm really not sure I bought a Marlin 1895 guide gun and really just love the lever action Browing new BLR looks really nice too which would be the better choice????

[Mr. Dean]

Depends on what you want out of it???

Comparing these two rifles is akin of comparing a box of apples w' a case of Trojan's.

I shoot a BLR as many others here do. I think mine is great, it shoots well, loads fast, easy to carry in hand and most importantly drops everything dead.

I own a Marlin Guide gun and it's fine....however, the quality of Browning, in my opinion is superior. Also, there are many calibur choices with the BLR or A-bolt...not so with the Marlin.

X2 here, I just ordered my 2nd Blr. Awsome guns.

I think you should go with what you would think you like ,its up to you to decide on what would be best ,go with your in-stinks thats what I would do.

I've owned an A-Bolt for years and likely will for some time, but having just bought an XLR, the A-bolt won't be seeing nearly as much daylight!!!

I suppose it will depend on which combination of comfortable fit and caliber you settle on?

Your choosing between two excellent rifles. I think it's up to the caliber available and what rifle you like best. Try and hold both rifles before you decide. More than once it's made a difference in my buying decision.

I hunt big stuff with a 30-06 Brno,which I love and deer with a .243 BLR which I love almost more!Browning makes the sweetest action of any lever gun and the quality of the bluing and stock finish is amazing.It`s also a shitload of fun to shoot!

[The Dawg]

Get both :)

I've never been a lever kind of a guy. Mine used to jam up on me all the time. Nothing wrong with browning though!
