BROWNING BL-22 Micro Midas | .22 LR | 16.25in | 11rd

The Browning BL-22 Micro Midas is a compact, lever-action .22 LR rifle built with a polished blued steel receiver and a gloss black walnut stock. Its shorter 16.25″ light-sporter barrel and 12″ length of pull make it well-suited to smaller-framed shooters and youth applications. The receiver is grooved and drilled & tapped for optics; a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 scope (priced well under $1,000) is a sensible match for informal varmint work or range target shooting.

This rifle functions as a lightweight, quick-handling field rifle for small-game/varmint hunting and for precision rimfire target practice at close to moderate ranges.
