Action Levergun Question

[JayBeeKay]

I have a BLR (Browning Lever Rifle)

Does anyone use those in Cowboy Action Shooting ?

 

[Kp321]

Short answer is no.
BLR’s are not available in acceptable Cowboy Action calibers plus magazine capacity is limited.
If you are thinking about 3-gun, magazine capacity gets you there too.

 

[Varminterror]

No, you won’t see BLR’s in CAS/SASS. Not even allowed.

 

[Seedy Character]

1. Must be in revolver cartridge
2. 10 shot capacity

Browning B-92 is used in CAS
My grandson uses a Browning BL-22
(.22LR allowed for shooters under 16)

As the other's stated, not legal for multiple reasons. Here's a decent article on what you should be looking for:

and you can find the SASS book here:

Their rules are very, very, detailed.

Rifle Requirements
Rifles or carbines used in the main and team matches must be original or replicas of lever or
slide action rifles manufactured during the period from approximately 1860 until 1899,
incorporating a tubular magazine and exposed hammer. Rifles with box magazines may not

used. Please see the shooting categories for further information
