I really like my Browning BLR in 358 Win. If you are considering a 308 Win then you should give the BLR a serious look. I have no experience with the long action BLR's but I've read that many don't like the way they handle compared to the short actions.
But Browning still makes BLR's in 30-06 and 270, so someone must still be buying them.

My BLR with proper handloads is very accurate. It also fires quickly as lever actions do. I shot a small black bear in thick cover this season with mine and I couldn't ask the rifle to perform any better than it did. Points well too.
