Like others here, I could never get past the looks of them. A hunting buddy of a cousin of mine had one, it always worked, but it was kinda clunky to my eyes. I DID own a Belgian BAR in .30/06 that was 100% reliable and fairly accurate, too, but it was too heavy for my tastes, and I swapped it off for something or other.

I do know several people with the Micros in .22 Hornet that have nothing but good to say about them, but Browning has seen fit to discontinue those rifles, probably the best .22 Hornets ever made by anyone (and I own a CZ that is wonderful). If I could find one of those Hornets, I'd probably grab it, even though I don't need it at all.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
