What’s Included
- Browning BL-22 Grade I lever-action rifle
The BL-22 Grade I combines a polished blued steel finish with a gloss-finished walnut stock. Its straight grip, uncheckered panels, and Browning-marked hard buttplate keep the lines traditional and clean. The full-size layout features a 13.0 inch length of pull and a 20 inch barrel.
Chambered for .22 S/L/LR, this rifle feeds all three interchangeably. Capacity is 15+1 with .22 LR, supported by a tubular magazine that uses a removable inner tube with a knurled follower cap for straightforward loading and maintenance.
Its short lever throw enables rapid cycling while keeping the shooter on target. A right-side ejection port and smooth action contribute to its fast, reliable handling on the range or in the field.
Open sights include a ramped steel blade up front and an adjustable folding leaf rear sight on a stepped elevator, offering simple, durable sighting hardware matched to the rifle’s .22 rimfire role.
