I already bought that BL22 Micro. Took me hours to find ONE. Carter's Country in Houston had it. Wasn't cheap. I might've got the last one in Texas. Today I bought the Nikon rimfire 3-9 with BDC. I'll take the Leupold 2-7 off of my 39A and put it on the Browning and put the Nikon on my 39A. After I get the Nikon sighted in on the Marlin, I'll let you guys know how the BDC works for a 22lr. I have high hopes.

The great thing about a BDC scope on a 22 is that you can sight it in for 75 yards, and the first BDC bubble down should then be about right for up close shots from 10-30 feet, and for long shots at 100 yards.
It works out that way because of the height of the scope above the bore.
Kind regards, charlesb

Got the little rifle yesterday, and got the Weaver tip off mounts and rings. Just put the Leupold 2-7 scope on it. Haven't sighted it in yet, but still let the wife blast away at a big stump in the back pasture. It's just the right size for her, being real light and real small. Thanks to the fellow that recommended it. It was the perfect choice. Wife is happy. The little Leupold scope looks good on it. Not too big.
Put the new Nikon 3-9 Rimfire with BDC on the 39A. Now if it'll slow down raining a bit, I'll sight them in.
Had to go to Houston yesterday to get the wife's Lexus serviced, which put me close to Carter's Country - where the rifle was. Got a loaner car to make the trip over to Carter's, and I thought to ask the loaner guy if anybody was going to get weirded out when I took a rifle box out of the loaner and walked it over to our car. Naw, he said...it's hunting season and this is by God Texas. Even old blue haired ladies are swapping guns between their cars and loaners all the time. Nothing special around here. And then he wanted to talk guns. And his wife actually has that Smith and Wesson M&P 22 in the pink. Yup...I have to agree that this is, by God, Texas. And I'm happy to be here.
Ya'll have a great day.

If you are willing to swap the stock, I would say Savage Mark II FVSR 22LR. It's a good, inexpensive, accurate, bolt action rifle. It ships with a 5 round magazine, but you can get 10 round mags for it. It also comes with a picatinny rail already on it (no iron sights) and is threaded for a suppressor if you want to go that route in the future. The only bad part is that they put a cheap plastic stock on it that is way too low for a any cheek weld, more like a chin weld. You could go with a kydex check weld bolted to the original stock and get by. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I3J8ERQ?psc=1In the mean time, go get some powdered Tide laundry detergent and spread it in the yard like a fertilizer. Kills the grubs that the armadillos are eating.
