As realtors say: Location, location, location.
Old gun traders think it is: Condition, condition, condition.
I have seen some 75 to 85 percenters priced at $700. It is a rarer caliber, and appears to have been produced from 1989 to around 1995 or 1996. The 243 or 308 are as common as the common cold, and they bring $500 up.
Eight to 10 years ago a rough one might bring $450 to $550, but today there is a frenzy gun market, and that rough one migh bring $550 to $750.
The other day I saw one advertised in pristine condition in the box for $1,300.
Probably won't be anymore made.

To my knowledge Browning never released production figures by caliber.I know that the .284 Win.was made in the A-bolt hunter model,A-bolt hunter medallion model,and the A-bolt Micro-Medallion model.The Browning BLR was first introduced in 1971. Made in Belgium it was available only in .243W or .308W calibers. Production moved to Japan sometime during late 1973 or early 1974. In 1976 the .358 Win was added to the BLR lineup. In the 1982 Catalog, the BLR had a new name. Browning Introduced the "New" Model 81 BLR. In addition to the 243, 308, and 358, the .22-250 was introduced. Two more BLR calibers were introduced in 1983: The .257 Roberts and 7mm-08. In 1985 the .222Rem and the .223Rem were added for a total of 8 different BLR calibers In 1989, Browning added one more caliber to the BLR lineup: The .284 Winchester for a total of nine choices. The 1990 catalog shows the .222-Rem being dropped. In 1992 Browning introduced the 81 BLR Long Action and made it available in .30-06, 7mm Rem Mag and .270 Win. All of the other eight calibers remained and were available in the 81 BLR Short Action. In 1993 The .257 Roberts and the .358 were dropped from production. 1995 was the last year for the 81 BLR Long and Short action models. The new Lightning BLR was being introduced and several of the short action calibers were discontinued in 1996, including the .284 Win. So, after much research, the answer to the question is that the Browning BLR was chambered for the .284 Winchester - begining in 1989 and last made in 1995 for a total of seven years.Proprietary information not in the public domain.

If the Browning BLR is a metal receiver and not aluminum its worth can be from 500.00 up to 1200 depending on condition and if its a straight stocked model(81 Lightening) on curved stock model.
Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
