Back when I was in college (a long, long time ago) I had a little Browning .22 semi-auto rifle. It broke down into two pieces and I remember it as a great little gun. Long story short, I am wanting to replace it. Couple of questions. Is this rifle as good as I seem to remember? What's the real story on Belgium vs recent manufacture Brownings? I will just use it as a plinker and maybe a squirrel or two. Also, I am in the minority but I am not too keen on the Ruger 10/22 so that really would not be an option. Thanks in advance.
