Guns Listing ID: 565170



Browning SA-22 semi auto 22 LR rifle made in Belgium in very good condition!! Comes with a scope. It is missing the rear sight where the scope is mounted and has a few scratches in the wood and a little surface rust that cleaned up nicely.

The Browning SA-22, officially the Browning 22 Semi-Auto, is a storied and highly regarded .22 rimfire semi-automatic rifle designed by John M. Browning. Its lineage stretches back over a century.

Key Historical Highlights

Introduced in 1914, produced originally in Belgium by FN Herstal until 1973, then by Miroku in Japan from 1974 onward.

Its patent design was licensed to Remington, resulting in the Remington Model 24 and Model 241.

Bottom Ejection: Spent cartridges eject downward, allowing ambidextrous shooting and preventing cases from hitting the shooter‚s face—though hot shells may drop into sleeves if not handled carefully.

Takedown Design: Quick, tool-free separation of barrel/forearm from receiver/stock through a knurled barrel nut—ideal for storage or travel.

Aesthetic & Custom Options: Available in multiple grades (I, II Octagon, VI Grayed, Maple, etc.) offering different finishes, engravings, stock woods, and decorative details.

Scope-Friendliness: Factory receivers are often pre-drilled/tapped for mounting optics; scopes remain zeroed even when the rifle is disassembled.
