Browning BL-22 22 Short Rifle (15-Round)

Browning BL-22 headlines the specification sheet for this platform. Factory literature categorizes it as a sporting rifle, which frames expectations for handling and use. Factory chambered in 22 Short, built around a lever action with a 15+1 round capacity to keep performance predictable from shot to shot. Dimensional notes call out a barrel length of 20 / 20" in and overall length measuring 36.75" in, helping you plan cases and storage. Unloaded weight settles near 5 lbs, which influences recoil management and carry options. Furniture is trimmed in maple with a wood finish, giving the rifle its classic profile. Metalwork wears a satin nickel/blued / blued treatment, pairing durability with period-correct styling. Stock appointments include factory checkering for extra purchase and a traditional butt plate. Overall dimensions ship at 3.25 X 7.45 X 45.65, so plan case and safe clearance accordingly. Magazine stays fixed to the rifle, so reload plans should account for gate or tube feeds. Without a hinged floorplate you will cycle rounds out manually when clearing the rifle. Select retailers indicate this model qualifies for direct ship where local regulation allows.
