The trigger is labeled quite heavy for a .22 LR

It's an expensive 22 so probably not target quality but a little heavy for a $900 rifle.

Its a good but heavy trigger as field Guns should be

Hi Rick and welcome. The Browning BL-22 Grade II features a trigger that breaks cleanly but is widely considered quite heavy for a .22 LR, typically pulling between 5.5 to 6.5 pounds. While the pull weight is stiff, the trigger is well-regarded for its crispness, lack of grit, and unique design. Because the trigger travels with the lever as you cycle the action, it completely eliminates the risk of finger pinch, making it highly comfortable for rapid shooting. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

The trigger on the Browning BL-22 Grade II is functional and perfectly suited for field duty, though it lacks the crisp, light characteristics of a dedicated target rifle. Key characteristics of the trigger include: Pull Weight: It typically breaks between 6 and 7 pounds, making it on the heavier side for a rimfire rifle. Feel: It can be described as slightly creepy with some initial take-up before a solid break. Ergonomics & Safety: The trigger is engineered to travel with the lever assembly when it cycles. This highly regarded design not only prevents pinched fingers but also ensures the trigger is out of the way while opening the action. It also features a half-cock built-in safety.
