Browning BL-22 Grade II Lever Action .22 LR
From the 04-01-2008 Issue of Gun TestsClassification:Long Guns
Category:Rifles
Model Name:BL-22 Grade II Lever Action .22 LR
Manufacturer:Browning
Model Number:No. 024101103
FULL GUN REPORT
The Grade II is one of five BL-22s offered by Browning for 2008. The Grade II is scroll engraved on the receiver and has a gold-colored trigger. The Grade I tested in December 2006 lacks the IIs scroll engraving and checkering on the walnut, but the Grade I MSRPs for a lot less, $494. Brownings most expensive lever rimfire is the BL-22 FLD Grade II Octagon, $786, which a silver-nitride finish, octagonal barrel, and a front gold bead. Because the Grade II comes at a $150-ish premium to the Marlin and Henry, we wondered if those extra dollars would turn into enthusiasm in our evaluation.

Mossberg Persuader Model 590A1 12 Gauge Magnum No. 51411
From the 09-01-2005 Issue of Gun TestsClassification:Long Guns
Category:Shotguns
Model Name:Persuader Model 590A1
Manufacturer:Mossberg
Model Number:590A1
FULL GUN REPORT
The Mossberg Persuader Model 590A1 No. 51411 , $443, uses an 18.5-inch fixed Cylinder choke barrel, single front bead sight, non-glare matte finish, and 5+1 capacity. We tested the 5+1 500A Persuader, No. 50411, in the January 2001 issue. The major differences between the two guns are the heavy barrel and matte-black Parkerized finish on the 51411 and the presence of a pistol grip as part of the 50411 package. Also, the 590A1 has a metal trigger guard and safety button. The 590A1 is also more pricey, $443 compared to $357 MSRP for the 500-series gun.
