It gets even worse with the pistol cartridge lever guns.

Man, there are so many routes that you could go down now, lol.Yep!
ESPECIALLY like .357 mag!
Great shooting, considering the irons. Presume it was off a bench.The BL-22 did ok. I had to get used to the buck-horn sights. These 5 shot groups are at 50 yards and I think are acceptable.

Mine was maybe a bit less and a Grade 2, in 22 Mag.That maple wood T-Bolt sure does look sharp. DE Guns has one for $619

Took a different 22 Mag bolt out today, a CZ 455 American. These were under $350 earlier in the year when they released the 457. A bargain given the workmanship and overall rifle quality (mine has a sweet trigger as well). The picture below (from late evening today) doesn't fully convey how nice the walnut and bluing look.
Has anyone used the Skinner peep sights as a replacement for a dovetail? There is a skinner model that fits on the barrel (as opposed atop the receiver) and would hopefully allow for use of the factory front blade.
The BL-22 Grade II is gorgeous. Very, very well built. Nice attention to detail.
Initial observations:
1. Really need to paint the front sight post. I used fluorescent orange. The sight blade is very fine and for dove tail irons, I think these sights are very good. According to the manual, you can drift-adjust the sights.
2. It literally has an 8 pound trigger pull. Very crisp with zero creep, but 8 pounds none the less.
3. The short throw lever is nice.
8 freaking pounds? holy crap! Any reason why its so heavy?
