I inherited my Daddy's '62 SA 22. I love having a physical token to remember the countless hours shooting varmints with him in the desert. To me, it's the most valuable gun in the world!
Thanks!! My dad had this stored away for over three decades. I just got into guns and took this from my folks. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but I am thankful it is staying in the family!!
I grew up in the woods with that same 22. Very very accurate and lightweight. The rear sight folds down and is adjustable for elevation. If you can pick one up, do it.
I bought one in the early '70s. Then I went away to college and while I was gone, something made my Browning disappear. I don't remember if I agreed to that or not. Lovely gun though. Wish I still had it.
I have an old one of those I was planning on doing a restoration video. Its pretty rough got it for $100, will have to see where it was made next time I look at it. But it looks like I wont be able to do a video on in on youtube in the future.
I saw one of these at a nearby gun shop like ten years ago. I thought about it, but I already had a .22 rifle, and I really wanted a bolt action .22 if I was going to get a rifle. And I remember it was kind of pricey too (like $500 or something). I ended up buying a junky old beater 1911A1 for like $200 or $300 instead, some cheap brand I can't remember. I returned it because it wouldn't feed the .45 SWCs I bought with it, which was good, because I found a much better, new (although still cheap) Charles Daly M1911A1 (sneer if you like, it has worked flawlessly for a decade or so now). But I still wish I had bought that Browning SA22 when I had the chance.
Browning 22LR, una BELLEZA !! Por su practicidad y transporte. Desarmardo, su largo es 490mm, correspondiente al cañon. Repet 10 + 1. Ese que muestras, es nuevo o esta reacondicionado?. Podria adquirir uno nuevo ?? (Pero no "chino") Que precio tiene ?? Poseo uno que era de mi abuelo. Herencia, porque además de ser nieto y ahijado, era el "preferido". Tiene maderas y empabonado nuevos.
Homero Triay .Oye carnal Una Pregunta donde Puedo Conseguir el Guarda mano de este Rifle ??? yo Tengo uno pero se madreo el guarda mano y quiero uno nuevo pero no se donde comprarlo Soy de mexico
My brother has one our dad gave him in high school that is Belgian made. I bought one last year (Japanese made). I would put the function and accuracy of mine against his any day of the week. The Japanese got it right .
@@melindamanthey2757 Good answer. I just bought an FN model . I'm awaiting the documents as I'm European and buying a firearm is a complicated business. N America is so much simpler I believe. Lucky you !
That is your opinion but you have nothing to say why you think the Japanese model is better in your estimation ! “All collectors” are only after the Belgium FN models. I have both and I prefer the Mikoku only because the barrel is tapped for a scope on the barrel not on the receiver as in the old FN models. If the later FN Models had this feature before they started to make the .22’s in Japan then I would definitely prefer the FN rifle. There are always improvements made by gun company’s as they age. ps Anyone can buy a Japanese Browning SA 22 but try to find a BelgiumSA FN-22 pre 1975 in any kind of condition and you will pay a premium $
Belgium used to be known for its guns. Now no one is allowed to have one unless they're a forester, hunter or they are under threat. I really want a rifle but can't even get one.
Yep. And that's the way they want to make America too. No doubt President Harris will try all she can to start us on that path. Because everyone knows Europe is better, so we must copy them!
Love and prayers. I wish I could do more to support the channel, I appreciate the content, its just not possible for me right now. Sorry and thanks again.
I remember these Browning .22 rifles. I just never cared for "Small" receiver look on them. I think Browning took the "Tube Feed" from Winchester's Model 74 .22 LR cal Tube Fed Semi Auto Rifle w/ 22" bbl. The best of my 0ld memory🧠
Wincheser definitely copied Browning. I don't think Browning ever *copied* anything in his life, he was the original originator where guns are concerned. And I don't think Winchester ever designed a gun of their own, ever. At least it wasn't their standard practice. Almost all of Winchester's firearms are designs they bought from outside the company. It was just their standard practice, and it allowed them to chose the best of the best, sometimes. But they themselves didn't originate anything. Maybe they got an inhouse design team later for the simpler models. but they still preferred to copy other companies rather than innovate.

Got one just like it. One of my favorite guns!
Just out plinking with mine today, and I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments.

These are a pleasure to handle shoot and gaze at… just plain perfection
yes that is a very nice looking rifle.

Great deal!
@@raymondeaton5692Friend, where can I purchase the parts for that model of rifle? I need the bolt adjustment parts and others.
Beautiful gun sir!

Were there not a few other common 22s that load from the butt? It seems that Marlin may have had one

First gun my stepdad bought me when I was 10
What is one from belgium in new condition worth?
I haven't see one of those In years 😲
Are the Belgium ones more rare?
I have the Chinese copy, it works flawlessly
I have one dat was made in. 1933 butt I am missing the barrel
Nice rifle,surprised it doesn't have the gold trigger.
oovotzify Gold triggers are on Grade2 and up
What does the "SA" mean?
Semi Auto
The Miroku ones are better than the ones by FN Herstal.
Really? How is that ?
@@conlaiarla They're available : )

I don't think so. Winchester started producing the 74 in 1939. I believe the Browning SA22 predates that by at least 25 years.
Browning started production of this model in 1914 so ....we know who copied who.
Wincheser definitely copied Browning. I don't think Browning ever *copied* anything in his life, he was the original originator where guns are concerned. And I don't think Winchester ever designed a gun of their own, ever. At least it wasn't their standard practice. Almost all of Winchester's firearms are designs they bought from outside the company.

For a moment I thought that was an old Crosman 2100.
