Greg - The BPR-22 magnum's are nice guns, and very desireable to collectors.(think: extra value)
Browning made them in LR & Mag, along with a look-alike semi-auto in LR, the BAR-22.
Both were designed to be sold/used on their own, or as twin/similar understudies for the centerfire Browning BAR & BPR line.
The fit/finish is among the best in the industry - certainly head & shoulders above anything out of Czechoslovakia
