many rifles like this are intentionally heavy to cut down on recoil, or atleast on the gun moving around from it. like a .303 Enfield. short and still easy to maneuver but heavy enough to have very little recoil(and even still in use today under extreme conditions where other rifles would fail much more reliably)

Very cool and versatile rifle for sure’ it’s a shame that no one is making decent copies of these today’ would make for one fine hunting rifle for sure
Love shooting mine. But I'd still take a m91 over the 1895 Winchester if I were in war . Super cool rifles. Prone or rested shooting and loading is rough.
I've got to say, I still can't believe I somehow managed to snag one of these. I had long resigned to the idea that it would always just be a dream, but then I got lucky. I still haven't shot it yet, as it needs some stabilization work done on the stock. It would split at the receiver tangs if I shot it right now, but even just having it is far better than I thought I'd do. At least I have a repro .30-40 saddle ring carbine that I can shoot without worrying until I get the old musket fixed up.
Why modernized? I would like one just like this example. It was designed and made at the perfect point in time, any modernization would totally change its flavor!
@WALTERBROADDUS The BLR and its clone from Henry are a perfect example of what I meant as a modernized design that totally lost the feal and flavor of the previous design. I'm not going to get into a debate over which is the better design because the '95 and the BLR are two very different guns designed at different periods in time for very different markets. I find it interesting that the historically interested crowd of Winchester lovers vertually ignore these two guns, with the exception of the Russian '95, which unti a very few years ago none of us were aware of. I believe this attitude is because both guns kind of missed the mark of what they could have been. The 95 by not featuring stripper clip loading and the BLR with its limited magazine capacity ( it should have been a minimum of 5 plus one, with 10 plus one available). Plus, both guns have nessicaraly left behind the super slick actions of the '66s and '73s by miles. This may be the downfall of the Bond arms levergun, too. It has finally paired the lever with an adequately sized removable box mag, but in doing so, it appears that the lever throw has gotten even worse. I'm saying that with having only observed videos of other people shooting them as I haven't handled one yet, so I may have that wrong, but I don't think so....cheers
@@richardelliott9511 there's nothing wrong with the magazine size of the BLR. It's a hunting rifle. And many states have restrictions on magazine size in a hunting situation.

Dexterous and intuitive, what a beautiful firearm. I guarantee there was one guy in a frontline trench somewhere who was a gun nut who’d have told you all about how stripper clipped lever action was actually the most ergo setup you can run for your kit
This is one of my grail guns. I fell in love with this thing when I first saw it in BO4, just the idea of loading with a stripper clip. So different from a typical lever-action.
I first read about this in the early 80's. Still say it's one of the coolest long guns ever. A clip fed lever action with a bayonet lug. It's like a cowboy battle rifle.

This wouldn't be out of the ordinary except he's seven feet tall and can crush a skull with his palm because he's jacked on werewolf steroids, so it's upscaled to fire .50 BMG because there's no kill like overkill.
