Browning BL-22 Micro Midas 16.25" 12-Round Walnut Stock Rifle

The Browning BL-22 Micro Midas 16.25" 12-Round Walnut Stock Rifle is purpose-built for shooters seeking a compact, reliable rimfire platform suited to training, small game hunting, and precision marksmanship development. This rifle excels in confined spaces where full-size platforms become unwieldy—law enforcement academies, youth shooting programs, and home defense scenarios all benefit from its reduced footprint. The Micro Midas configuration delivers the handling characteristics of a professional-grade firearm in a scaled package that doesn't sacrifice controllability or accuracy.

Built on Browning's proven semi-automatic action, the BL-22 features a 16.25-inch barrel that balances velocity retention with portability, while the 12-round magazine capacity supports extended training drills without constant reloads. The walnut stock provides ergonomic control and a professional aesthetic, while the rifle's 11-pound weight allows sustained shooting without fatigue—critical for qualification courses and tactical practice. The rimfire caliber delivers minimal recoil, enabling rapid sight picture recovery and shooter confidence-building, making this platform ideal for developing fundamental marksmanship before transitioning to centerfire systems.

This rifle serves law enforcement trainers, military personnel qualifying recruits, competitive shooters, and civilians pursuing accurate, low-recoil practice. Its compact dimensions (45.8 inches overall) facilitate storage in patrol vehicles, training facilities, and home safes. The 12-round semi-automatic capability supports realistic force-on-force scenarios without the single-shot limitations of traditional rimfire trainers, making it an efficient choice for agencies and individuals prioritizing ammunition economy and shooter development.
