I worked at Browning's Gunsmithing Facility in Arnold, MO, there is no such thing as a Belgian BL-22. They are very well made .22's and shoot well, the lever throw is the shortest of any lever action .22. The no longer made Redfield 3/4" 4X scope makes an excellent set up, the 3/4" scope is in proper proportion and looks just right, pity they're no longer made.
