I assume it's a bl-22. I have one, as well as a marlin 39. They are quite similar in quality overall, with some bits better on the browning, and vice - versa. Both should shoot very well, indeed. The feel is different, the bl being very compact and fast handling, the 39 being more deliberate. Being short, the bl fits me better for snap shooting and it's a hoot to fold the rear sight down and snap shoot bumble bees and similar "targets of opportunity".
