MOUNTING A SCOPE
BEFORE MOUNTING A SCOPE, MAKE
SURE YOUR RIFLE IS COMPLETELY
UNLOADED. REMOVE THE
MAGAZINE, CHECK THE ACTION AND
CHAMBER FOR CARTRIDGES. KEEP THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
The receiver of all BLR rifles is drilled and tapped for mounting a
scope. Additionally, a special scout-style mount specifically designed
for the BLR Takedown models attaches to the barrel. This type of
mounting permits the rifle to be taken down without altering zero
and further assures fine accuracy. See your Browning dealer to
purchase the scope mount bases and rings designed for the BLR.
ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT BASE(S) FOR THIS RIFLE AND THE
APPROPRIATE LENGTH SCREWS OR DAMAGE COULD OCCUR TO THE RIFLE.
1 Place your rifle in a gun vise or on a table or other safe/secure
location with the top of the receiver upward. Protect the finish
with rags or other padding.
2 If mounting the scope on the receiver you should have two
compatible bases and screws of the correct length.
If you are mounting the scout-style base to a BLR Takedown
model you will have only one base. Make sure the screws are
of the correct length.
