I owned a BLR 81, in .243. It was a great shooter. I used it for called-in coyotes, with a reduced load. I also shot a few deer with it over the years. It was a nice rifle and was very accurate, but I did not like the fact that I could not break it down all the way to clean it. I got rid of it. That Henry Long Ranger, or whatever they call it, looks real interesting, also. It looks like a Browning.
