There are plenty of lever-action .22s out there, but the BL-22 has a following for good reason. This Grade I model wears a satin nickel receiver against a polished blued 20 inch barrel and satin-finished American walnut, a two-tone look you do not see every day at the rack. Pick it up and the machined steel receiver tells you right away this is not a budget rimfire. It carries at a hair over five pounds and swings quick, exactly what you want in a small game rifle or a truck gun for the back forty.
The headline feature is the 33 degree lever throw, one of the shortest in the business. Your hand barely leaves the stock between shots, and the trigger travels with the lever so it stays clear of your finger while you cycle. Follow-up shots come fast enough that you will not miss a semi-auto. The tubular magazine holds 15 rounds of .22 LR and also runs .22 Long and .22 Short in any mix, which makes it a great match for whatever rimfire happens to be on your shelf. Once loaded, the inner tube locks in place so it stays put in the field.
Adjustable open sights come standard, with a bead front and folding rear that work fine for squirrels and tin cans alike. If your eyes prefer glass, the receiver is grooved for 3/8 inch mounts and drilled and tapped, so adding a rimfire scope is a simple job. Built by Miroku in Japan, the same shop behind Browning's Citori shotguns, the BL-22 shows the kind of wood-to-metal fit that keeps these rifles in families for generations. This is the sort of .22 that teaches a new shooter fundamentals, then earns a permanent spot in the safe long after they have moved on to bigger calibers.
Yes, and that is one of its best tricks. The tubular magazine feeds .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 LR in any combination, holding 15 rounds of LR and more of the shorter cartridges. That flexibility is handy for quiet backyard plinking with shorts or small game work with standard LR loads.
You can. The steel receiver is grooved for standard 3/8 inch rimfire mounts and is also drilled and tapped, so you have two mounting options. A compact rimfire scope keeps the rifle's light, quick-handling feel intact while stretching your effective range on small targets.
Most lever guns require a much longer stroke to cycle, which pulls your hand away from the grip and slows you down. The BL-22's short throw lets you work the action with a quick flick, keeping your cheek on the stock and your sights close to target. The trigger also travels with the lever, so it moves out of the way as you cycle.
The BL-22 is built by Miroku in Japan, the same manufacturer that produces Browning's Citori shotguns and many of its rifles. Miroku has a long-standing reputation for excellent machining and wood-to-metal fit, and it shows in this rifle. These have been in continuous production for decades and hold their value well.
