I also love Browning firearms. The workmanship is always top notch.
I have a few .22 rifles. I like to collect rifles that are different from the run of the mill. So I got myself a Browning BL-22 lever action .22. I love it. Then I saw articles on the Browning T-Bolt, so I had to have one. Picked one up in the Sportster with a maple stock. I think my next .22 is going to have to be the Browning .22 auto SA-22. I love the design on that thing. And the breakdown design, long before everyone else decided to get into the breakdown game.
I also have a 12 ga BPS, serial #75 from the first year of production. And I inherited my fathers Browning .380 pistol.
Hope you enjoy your new lever action. That should be lots of fun.
