I have a BL22 Deluxe that I bought new 30 years ago. Mine has brought in hundreds of squirrels and rabbits for the frying pan. I have a 4X Bushnell scope on and find it very accurate. Shoots shorts and long rifles without a hitch. The main feature is the short lever throw, just a flick of the wrist and the next round is ready to go allowing very fast follow up shots without removing the butt from your shoulder.
