The Browning BL-22 Grade II Octagon: American Rimfire Excellence

The BL-22 represents the pinnacle of .22 rimfire lever-action design. This is a rifle that honors tradition while delivering modern reliability and accuracy—a rare combination in today's market.

Design and Craftsmanship

What sets this rifle apart is immediately apparent. The 24-inch octagon barrel is a classic touch that catches the eye and improves handling. The satin nickel receiver features attractive scroll engraving, while the Grade II American walnut stock displays traditional point checkering that is sharp and well-executed. The gold-plated trigger adds a refined touch without sacrificing function.

Mechanical Excellence

Browning engineered the BL-22 for shooters who demand both speed and control:

• 33° lever throw — Significantly shorter than competitors, allowing faster cycling and easier operation for shooters of all sizes
• Solid steel receiver — Machined from one piece for strength and reliability
• Trigger design — Travels with the lever to prevent finger pinch, a thoughtful safety feature
• Grooved receiver — Ready for mounting optics if desired

Ammunition Flexibility

The tubular magazine holds any combination of .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle ammunition. Load what you want, when you want. This flexibility makes the BL-22 ideal for plinking, small game hunting, or precision shooting.
