I have a browning bl22 lever action. Takes both short(17) and long(15) in the tube.
Great gun, never get misfires, easy to clean.
I put a cheap 3x9 bushnell scope on it and I tear out the 1 inch bull at 25 yards. I have found though that the shorts are now more expensive than the longs. Shorts are good for outdoors, you don't piss people off with the noise.
The gun itself ranges from about $300 to $450. If like me you see one for under $300 that is in good shape, jump all over it.
You with love it.
