What scope mounts and rings fit the belgium made browning 22 semiautomatic rifle?

Answer 1

The Browning 22 auto was traditionally scoped with an integral scope mount base that was mounted to the barrel. The mount rides up above the receiver and rearward toward the ejection port. Grade I is supposed to also have the groove mounts. The groove mount is not recommended because if the gun is taken down, the scope would be off zero when the gun was reassembled. Browning offers the integral barrel mount base and rings for this application. The Browning part number is 8517, however, your older Belgian model may not be tapped for the screws and may require a gunsmith to tap and thread the barrel. This was confirmed in the 1964 Browning catalog. Recommend you discuss this with the Browning Customer service dept at the link below to verify. No other cross references could be found for mounts that fit the Browning 22 automatic rifle.
