My favorite rifle.

My grandfather passed recently. He left me his ‘71 BL 22. I mounted a simple 4x scope to it for him when he couldn’t see well enough to use the factory sights. It was minute of red squirrel head to far enough away. It was well treated, but has honest wear.

I have more accurate rifles, prettier rifles, all kinds. This one’s my favorite.

Now that’s a nice rifle! I love a lever action 22.

Beautiful with classic lines.

Sweet! Those mean the most. And btw, thought I was the only one who mounted a scope like that

It’s really true.

Hammer clearance and eye relief. Not much a guy can do if you want it to fit halfway decent. Looks less than great, works well.

Awesome firearm! It would be great to take it to a match and show up those new chassis high dollar 22's .
