Funny ya ask, after last weekend my aunt fell in love with my BL-22.
So i did some research for her and found out about the micro, she was able to hold them both in whole sale sports yesterday, but the micro (being a youth version) was a bit too small.
4" shorter barrel(limiting it to 11 rounds), and a 1.5" shorter (trigger to but plate) distance. So the whole gun is about 5.5" shorter.
Dont know the price, but I believe it was a bit less than a normal BL-22.

So the're available? I was told they weren't.
Holy Smokes!!! Are those ever small rifles! I just went to P&D here in Edmonton, and hefted one. They sure would make a handy "pack" rifle...I guess I'm gonna' have to git' me one! 
Perhaps I'll hunt down a regular length BL22 buttstock to put onto it.

I had the same reaction to the short (12") LOP when I went to P&D and tried the BL22 Micro. I like the 16.25" barrel but it needs the option of a full size butt stock. I have the Marlin TDS (.22) with the 16.25" barrel and the Winchester 9422 Trapper (.22) with the 16.25" barrel but both of those rifles have the full size butt stock. At $450 for the BL plus the cost of another stock takes it out my list of 'must haves'.
WGP might have the full length stock but it won't be inexpensive. Perhaps Browning might make the full length stock an option later as the Micro is new this year. I'll wait to see if the modified model becomes available. Another cheaper option would be to install a recoil pad to lengthen the stock and then return it to the original length later if you wished to sell it... just make sure the original butt plate was stored safely where it could be found (often my problem with small parts... stored safely, just can't remember where!!).
WSS in Kamloops has/had them both.
The little guy has the straight grip stock and it didn't fit worth a pinch of .........
The normal one feels much better.
Pistol grip makes the length of pull feel longer than the little guy.
Keeps your paw forward on the wood.
Prices I believe were under $600.
