The BL-22 is an American favorite for great rimfire accuracy and firing speed. A flick of the wrist is all it takes to eject the spent cartridge and load a new one in the chamber. It possess excellent accuracy with overall precision and rifling quality in the exact same class as what you get with a Browning X-Bolt centerfire or BLR lever-action. The tubular magazine is extra easy and fast to load, especially with the magazine tube lock that securely snaps the tube in place. The three position hammer operation is time tested and operates exactly as you expect, and are used to, on the best lever-actions.
