The Browning Semi-Auto 22 is truly a unique design, unlike any other 22-caliber rifle. Ideal proportions and balance, and slender lines make the Semi-Auto 22 an easy-handling and quick-pointing rifle. Adults find it easy to shoot accurately. The tubular loading port in the stock simplifies loading and unloading. Bottom ejection directs empties, powder residues and gases harmlessly toward your feet.
The polished walnut Semi-Auto 22 can be quickly taken down to a complete length of only 19". Just depress a latch on the bottom of the receiver (where it meets the forearm) and, while holding by the steel of the receiver, give the barrel a quarter turn. The rear sight fold flush to the barrel for casing, and is adjustable.
The Semi-Auto 22 is drilled and tapped for special Browning scope mounts. These mounts attach the scope to the barrel. So no matter how many times you take down your rifle, your scope stays in alignment with the barrel. A tubular loading port built into the buttstock combines with bottom ejection, easy takedown and unique styling to set the Browning Semi-Auto 22 apart from the rest.

The 22 Long Rifle is the world's most popular cartridge, with annual production well into the billions of rounds. Developed in 1887 for blackpowder, it has been loaded with smokeless powder since the 1890s. The 22 Long Rifle is a rimfire cartridge using the .613-inch case developed for the 22 Long, but standard is a heavier 40-grain bullet at 1180 feet per second. .22 Long Rifle ammunition is widely manufactured and varies tremendously, from sub-sonic and match ammunition at lower velocities to lighter bullets at higher velocities, all the way to a 30-grain bullet at 1700 feet per second. With low report, almost no recoil, and superb accuracy the 22 Long Rifle has no equal for short-range target shooting, plinking, and training in both rifle and pistol; and with high velocity hollow-point ammunition is extremely effective for small game and pests out to perhaps 75 yards. Virtually all manufacturers offer 22 Long Rifle, with choices in both rifles and handguns in all action types.
