Browning SA-22 Grade VI .22 LR Takedown Rifle

A Piece of Rimfire History

The Browning SA-22 Grade VI represents nearly a century of refined gunmaking tradition. Designed by John M. Browning himself, this autoloading rimfire rifle has earned its place as one of the most desirable .22 rifles ever produced—equally at home as a working rifle or a treasured heirloom.

Why the SA-22?

This rifle excels as a plinker, small game hunter, and varmint rifle. Its lightweight, handy profile makes it ideal for squirrel hunts and range sessions. The takedown design means you can upgrade with an aluminum scope base and optic—the base stays with the barrel to maintain zero between shooting sessions.

The SA-22 Grade VI combines working-rifle practicality with the refined aesthetics of fine gunmaking. It's a rifle that performs as beautifully as it looks.
