Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning BL-22 is a lever-action rimfire rifle first introduced in 1969 and manufactured by Miroku in Japan. It is chambered in .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle, feeding from a tubular magazine (capacity typically 15 rounds in .22 LR), and is known for its fast, 33-degree lever throw. The standard barrel is 20 inches; early models featured high-gloss American walnut and polished blue metalwork, while later production saw alternate finishes, stock grades, and receiver finishes. Browning offered multiple finish/grade levels — with a basic standard model (Grade I) and higher-grade versions (Grade II) that include enhancements such as stock checkering, engraved receiver, and gold-colored trigger. Depending on variant and barrel style, unloaded weight is very near 5 pounds. Because of its combination of good handling, reliable action, and finish options, the BL-22 has appeal both for shooting use and for collectors.
