My first rifle was a BL22 and it's still one of my favorites. I have three of my kids all saying they want it when I get to that time I'm parsing out my guns to the next generation. Perhaps I should buy this one and another to make the decision easier?

Of the dozen or so BL22s I've seen shoot over the years all have shot very well.

The trigger moves with the short-throw lever (33 degrees) allowing you to keep your trigger hand thumb over the top of the stock for very fast follow-up shots without any chance of trigger pinch. It's light, well balanced and tracks moving targets well. I can't tell you how many rabbits and hares I have taken with mine.

I'm 6'4" and stocky so seeing me shoot this little rifle is a bit comical … until you see the impacts on target. Even with it's dimunitive size and weight it handles like a full-blown rifle.

GLWS , someone is in store for a treat!

I share all the previous sentiments. Grew up shooting one of these and now have one of my own. My brother is deadly with the one we grew up shooting. I witnessed him shoot the head off a swimming water snake from at least 50 yards, with open sights. This is a good price on an excellent rifle. Buy it!

Is this the BL-22 grade 1?

I think I answered my own question: this is the BL-22 grade 1, and it has a 20 inch barrel. OP: correct me if I'm mistaken (maybe they had different models back in 2005).
Really gorgeous rifle, and that 33 degree lever throw and lever attached trigger really make this tempting!
