Browning BPR

Notes: The BPR (Browning Pump Rifle) is, as the name would indicate, a pump-action rifle based on the BAR. The pump action is very unusual and takes some getting used to: the shooter must pull pump grip downward and sideways towards themselves, then push the grip up and away from themselves. Once mastered, the BPR can in fact be cycled quite rapidly, and the unusual action helps prevent accidental discharges. The BPR was introduced in 1997, at first only in .270 Winchester, 7.62mm NATO, .30-06 Springfield, and .300 Winchester Magnum; in 1998, .243 Winchester and 7mm Remington Magnum chamberings were added, and the barrel for magnum chamberings was lengthened. The BPR was replaced in production in Europe in 2001 by the Dualis, but continued to be sold in North America until 2003.

Browning Dualis

Notes: This is basically an updated BPR; the mechanism, manual safety, and magazine catch are all identical except for some cosmetic differences. The operation is also identical, including the unusual pump action pattern. The standard barrel is slightly longer at 20 inches, but the same barrel is used for magnum rounds and is therefore shorter than the barrel used on magnum BPR rifles. The Dualis has a sighting rib that also has a folding leaf sight; this rib can be removed, revealing drilling and tapping for a telescopic sight. The front sight has a bead with fluorescent plastic. The receiver housing is made from light alloy, but other metal parts are of high-strength steel. The stock and fore-end are of walnut; the pistol grip of the stock is unusually deep and is checkered. The Dualis was introduced in Europe is 2001, but was not sold in North America until 2003.

Browning Repeating Carbine

Notes: This pump-action rimfire rifle had a very long production run – from 1921 to 1974, during which about 152,000 were built. It was derived from the Winchester 1890, which was also designed by John Browning. It is very similar to the Browning Automatic Carbine. Note that in the Browning Repeating Carbine, the tubular magazine is in the standard position below the barrel.
