Black Rain Ordnance BRO-22 Sportsman 22 LR 18" 10rd Rifle

The BRO-22 Sportsman is Black Rain Ordnance's entry level rimfire, a semi auto 22 LR built on a billet aluminum receiver. A Picatinny optics rail is machined right into the top of the receiver, so a scope or red dot mounts without any extra base. The 18 inch chromoly barrel has a crowned muzzle and the rifle feeds from a 10 round magazine.

Black Rain fits the Sportsman with a Hogue overmolded stock that has a soft, grippy feel and a pair of sling swivel studs for a carry sling. The trigger sits in a billet housing rather than a stamped or molded one, and the safety is a crossbolt that any rimfire shooter will recognize. It is a light, handy rifle that is easy for younger shooters to handle and easy to carry after squirrels and rabbits. With its rail ready receiver and plain black furniture, it makes a good first rifle or a dedicated trainer, and it is the kind of rimfire that earns a spot in the truck for range days, small game seasons and teaching new shooters the basics of marksmanship.
