What lever actions are offered in .223 Win? I think the Browning BLR was once offered in .223. Any others?

The BLR definitely was, as well as a small run in 222 Rem. The Henry Long Ranger is presently offered in 223. Not sure if the Sako lever was available in it or not.

BLR .223 is still listed. I just ordered one. A lightweight stainless with pistol grip.

I think 1-12 should be fine in the BLR, if you can't kill it with a 55gr soft point you should be looking at a bigger caliber and the BLR will never be enough rifle to make use of high BC bullets.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.
