Thanks, Robert Underdunk Terwilliger! I am glad to see Browning come out with different variations like this. I like slightly unusual or things not in the mainstream.
Will S, Congratulations! Please let me know what you figure out for a scope setup. The receiver rail is pretty short. I hope it stays in your family for generations!
Just bought one off Gunbroker. I feel the same way as you. At this stage in my life I can afford a $1000 .22 and it will last for generations-- not to mention it will hold it's value or better. I'm a big browning fan, I own several of their shotguns and rifles.
i was lucky as a kid dad took me to our local church thy had a 22 range in the basement if i had good grades at school that week. every saturday morning 1 box of remington 22lLRs
bought my son a bl22 from a pawn shop and it didnt work. Took it back and bought a new one instead. put a skinner peep on it. Liked it so much bought a blr 308
i'm going to buy the Browning but i don't know which ,one i want , the 1 grade or the 2 grade , i love the 2 grade better BUT i hate that Engraving on the metal part. But i love the Engraving on the wood. i wish they just left the metal part alone.to me they ruined a great gun by putting crap on the receiver .
Take a cloth, add some vegetable oil to it and rub that sticker goop off. Most sticker glues are oil based so all it takes is a little rubbing with that veg oil. Then dish cloth from a sink of dish soap water will clean the rest of the oil off..
@oncall21, I am not really sure how heavy this one is. I know it is not as heavy as a typical 10-22. We probably need to get a trigger pull gauge for our future reviews. BTW, we lucked into a micro-midas version so looking forward to getting some trigger time with it and another reveiw vid. :)
@julesv. No worries at all. I probably wouldn't do it a ton, but I tend to dry fire at the end of every magazine full, when I find out I have run out of ammo. Congrats and enjoy your new treasure!!
dad bought me a new BL-22 for my 10th birthday i let my son shoot it at10 i'm 64 now gun is in better shape than me it still looks and shoots like new price tag is still on the lever gun center buffalo NY 81.99 maby 1967
What a lucky kid! Back then there were tons of 22’s that were much more budget friendly! You are living the dream having an iron that literally will last generations! Thanks for sharing!
Oregon just made that gun + the marlin model 60 ( 11 million sold to date ) illegal due to mag capacity Im glad I dont live in that state .... thoze democrats are F ing NUTS
Didn't know they made them with maple stocks, that's gorgeous!

Finally bought this exact one last year. Shoots beautifully and is very well made. No scope yet, but will start looking.

Matt P, Congrats on the find! They are incredible in every way. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of it !
I got one a couple of months ago and I had some issues with the first round jamming (i'm thinking ammo related) but otherwise it shot great.

@Brian notafan, you had a great Dad! I am sure you had lots of good grades over the years! :)
I appreciate this kind of "going to church"! 👍😂
I love mine!

I have a BL-22 and my only complaint is the excessively heavy trigger. They register over 6lbs. Otherwise these rifles are winners.

@@Alfalfa61 great stuff! I measured the weight of pull on the trigger and it’s 6.5lbs. My smith has it now and said he can get it down to around 3lbs.
@@oncall21 I hope it comes back how you are expecting. That should be a near perfect rifle. You should have a lifetime of enjoyment ahead of you!
Mine pulls 4 1/2 lbs factory
Check out The Duke in Germany. He sells tuning springs
Good evening! I just purchase a BL-22 Browning. By mistake I made one dry fire. Should I be worried for damage or just one time is ok? Thank you!
