Brent,
You wife is adorable. You are a lucky man. Tell her I said so.

The biggest problem with the Browning Automatic .22 is that it is tiny, and too light. Neither gun is a standout, accuracy wise, mostly due to the takedown feature. The gallery model, in .22 short is tough to find, and usually beat senseless.

Either of my Remington .22’s, a model 552 or model 581 will shoot rings around the 241. But, the 241 can shoot “minute of orange” good enough for what we do with a .22.

Best,
Ted
