BROWNING BL-22 GRADE I

The BL-22 Micro Midas is what you buy when you want your kid’s first rifle to outlast the kid. Browning shrunk down their iconic BL-22 to a 12″ length of pull and a 16.25″ barrel, but kept all the grown-up stuff: machined steel receiver, gloss walnut stock, gold-plated trigger, and the buttery-smooth 33° short-throw lever. Shoots .22 Short, Long, or LR for cheap range days, then heads back into the safe to wait on the grandkids.

The kind of rifle a kid grows into, not out of.
