#Browning

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report. This week, we’re checking out another discontinued rifle (or rifles) - the Browning BPR (Browning Pump Rifle). In my opinion, the BPR was probably the best example of a pump-action rimfire from the 1970s that was chambered not only in .22 LR and .22 WMR but also a select handful of centerfire cartridges. While this rifle was discontinued decades ago, its unique design and practical performance have made me dream of this rifle coming back into the market. So today I’ll give you guys a brief overview of the rifle, where you can find them today, and of course my reasons for wanting to bring it back.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! As part of this ongoing series of entirely rimfire-focused topics, I’ve been going through as many different types of .22LR ammunition as I can get my hands on, and running them through a series of standardized accuracy and velocity tests using a Bergara B14R rifle and Garmin’s extremely handy Xero C1 Pro chronograph. In the past, we’ve had the opportunity to check out everything from CCI’s very much loved Standard Velocity ammo, to some of Europe’s best budget offerings like last week’s S&B Club 40 grain. This week we’re checking out another rather odd ammo I picked up while browsing a local outfitter - Browning PRO-22 40 grain. This ammo is marketed as a varmint hunting/recreational shooting cartridge and today we’ll run it through our normal series of tests so I can give you my thoughts on the ammo.
