Re, Vapodog:

The Browning semi-auto .22 rifle (take-down), a thing of beauty, is the ONLY "semi-auto" .22 rifle model Browning currently manufactures (although in three grades).

As to accuracy, I have always "heard" they ARE regarded to be extremely accurate. I purchased my Browning SA-22 in the late 50's and have always found this to be true with my rifle- as well as with the 'newer' models I have fired.

The first thing I learned about my then "new" Browning .22 was it's bottom ejection port ... when the "hot" ejected casing bounced off the tender flesh inside of my bare wrist. After a few times ... I learned to hold my fore-arm clear.

The Browning SA-22 is also of extreme quality in all materials used and in it's craftsmanship.

I also much regard my Marlin 60 and two Ruger 10/22's for their quality and accuracy ...

Still, the Browning .22 - is a BROWNING !
