Browning Leverage

Yes, you have to cock it. The leaver under the barrel pulls down, loading the spring and opening the chamber so you can insert a pellet. Then you press the button (where a shotgun safety would be) forward so that you can close the leaver and you are all set. This is a very accurate air gun, with a good scope. I have put all pellets in a six inch circle at 100 yards. But be advised, the rifle is heavy!

Yes it is a under lever, so when you pull the lower lever down the breach opens you insert your pellet and close the breach by pulling the lever back up into its position under the barrel, your ready to shoot.

This rifle is most impressive. Very powerful and quite accurate - Looks and feels like a serious weapon. I like the fixed barrel concept and believe it will retain its accuracy better than a break barrel. I have fired about 2000 22 cal rounds to date and it just keeps getting better. I use my gun mostly for target practice, but it has more than enough power to dispatch most small game (up to raccoon) at 30 yards or so. It blew right 1/2" plywood at 25 yards. Takes a while to break-in but at the price, it is well worth the wait.

There is no sound surppressor on this gun and I am left handed but shut righty the stock isnt made for left handed people though

The Browning Leverage .22 Air Rifle does not have a sound suppressor. However, the noise level is moderate and I use it in my back yard with no complaints. Although, the cheek pad on the stock favors right hand shooters, my brother is left handed and he has no problem shooting this rifle. To him it is like most rifle stocks without a cheek pad on either side.

First I would reccomend checking with your ordinance and make sure if your city allows you to shoot your pellet gun. If your city allows you to legally shoot your pellet gun I your backyard I would reccomend you to erect an backstop and use a pellet trap to ensure your safety and the safety of others. The Browning Leverage is not your typical pellet gun and supplies a good punch if shot within a short distance. Hope this helps you out with your question.

Never shot the x-20, but I own the Browning and the Hatsan 95, both in 22 cal. The Hatsan has more power, lots more recoil, is louder, and is harder for me to shoot accurately. Too bad the negatives seem to come with the power on most spring guns. The Browning is heavier and somewhat "plain" looking compared to the beautiful walnut stock that comes on the 95. Both guns have a good trigger but the scope and mounts are much better on the Browning. The cocking force on the Browning is about 5 pounds less which makes a difference when you do a lot of shooting. Both of these guns required a few hundred shots to break in to where they became smoother and more accurate. I like both of these guns. I like the Browning better because it is a smooth shooter and I can hit better with it. Most of my shooting is bench rest at 30 - 50 yards.

Yes. The included scope is a 3-9x40 with AO and will focus clearly to 10 yards (actually less) even with the power at 9x.

We were able to get a bunch of them for a special price on this caliber. When we were running out and needed to order more, the price was back to the original. In that case, we had to up the price since we didn't get a special price on our second shipment.

I would call it more of a mid-range gun shooting 14.5 g lead at 700 fps. Energy is about 16 - 16.5 ft lb. or a little higher than a RWS 34. Almost all airguns are rated with super light pellets that you wouldn't (and shouldn't) normally shoot.

There has not been any reviews on our site yet.

It is just one gun and we will email you when they are back in stock.

He can but he says its a minimal increase for the .22 cal plus it doubles the cocking effort upwards to abput 60lbs, an a pretty good boost for the .177

Mike Melick at Flying Dragon Air Rifles can put a gas piston in this gun.

See Rick's excellent review of this gun on Airgun web. His video review demonstrates how to cock and fire this gun. Cocking effort is only 28 pounds.

The "barrel" under the actual barrel gets pulled down and back, (it is under spring pressure, it will be hard to cock, 30-45lbs) until you hear a click where the piston that the barrel pushed back is set. Then load a pellet (the manual will show you where), and then return barrel to original position. You are ready to fire.

Have you used a breakbarrel airgun? It's almost the same thing but its the part under barrel that swings down and compresses the spring.

Like most of the big name "producers" today (Browning, Colt, H&K etc etc) they use sub-contract facilities to actually manufacture and assemble their product. the big names are merely marketers and distributors (for the most part). Apparently Browning uses at least two such manufacturers: Umarex (a fine German based company) under Umarex your model may be made in Turkey or China. According to pwhitlo from Monroe,LA the model he received was from Xisico (I do not know them) and mfg in China. Highly probable that the same prison-facility in China mfg for both Umarex and Xisico though, so short of forced production times the only difference "may" be in assembly QC. However, all of that said, you ARE buying a BROWNING. any problems you have, poor quality materials, poor assembly whether these are real or perceived issues should be addressed with Browning. Browning may require you to contact the 'retailer' for level-1 support. I do not know at this time as I have just started my air-rifle experience, but a tiered level CS system may be why AirGunDepot is so highly reported here for having excellent customer service.

This gun is made in China by Xisico. It is their model XS46U. It is a high quality gun with very good fit and finish. In my opinion, it is the best value in a fixed barrel gun. Just buy one, I did and I love it.

These guns are made in Turkey.

They are made in Turkey. You'd have to call Browning to see about parts.

The trigger is two-stage adjustable. I've found it consistent and smooth. No issues with scope mount... have had it for two years now, with no issues. I've tried various ammo and have found the Gamo PBA Raptor to work the best. I've had no concerns with the rifle other than that it is a bit heavy after an hour or so in the field.

the trigger is a very very very long draw almost 3/8" and not adjustable (well there is no screw) as for smooth = 5 out of 10 as for predictable = 3 out of 10 see draw issue (the break is about the same each time = 7 out of 10) as for scope = 4 out of 10 not great but works stock is not great at all = 2 out of 10 much like some one carved it out of a 2x4 and did not want to work to hard One issue after 300+, is the flared roll pin in the cocking lever linkage worked loose (fixed By re-flaring with a punch) Watch for this if the cocking becomes harder = seams to be scraping / it is an easy fix, but left alone will tear up the stock. as for shooting = 9.5 out of 10 good groups with heavy pellets and a surprise, 5.4 grain hunting (red tips) shoot just as well. Overall it shoots better than expected but feels much worse than expected One comment don't buy it before a break barrel, if you do, you will not be happy with the break barrel gun at all!

I would describe the trigger action as heavy but predictable. It is not adjustable. I would definitely like a lighter pull force. The scope instructions are poor. The scope that came with the rifle is not depicted in the instructions and I took me quite a while to get a good understanding of the different parts. There is no definitive focus witness line, only a small white dot which is not at the top of the scope where one would expect it to be. If this dot is the witness mark then the scope calibrations are off quite a bit. The scope aiming adjustment took several tries as it did not stay in adjustment until the fifth try. I am still concerned about this. All my shooting so far has been in a gentle environment but I'm afraid that in the field where the rifle is more likely to be bumped the scope will lose its setting. I could not turn the adjustment dials with my bare hands and it looks like a special tool, not included, should be used to engage the dials. There is no screwdriver or coin slot on the dials. I made a makeshift tool which took two hands to operate but it did not damage the dials. Also, the scope needs to be located far back on the receiver to give access for loading the pellet. This gives only about 1 and 1/2 inches of eye relief, much less than the recommended 3 inches, but since the recoil is small it has not been a problem. I do not have a lot of experience with air rifles but this one is much heavier than I expected. According to my scale the rifle weighs 9.8 pounds with the scope. I am disappointed with the repeatability of the gun. At 10 yards I will often get a wild shot more than an inch off the aiming point and that is with the gun in a vise. Perhaps its the ammo. I don't know. Could you recommend a competition pellet for me to try?

ok first off, my girl freind bought this for me. great gun,the trigger is great,every time i shoot it it immpresses me more and more. ive got a bitch about it though.and here it is....out of the package the gun came cocked...not good,sorry im anal about care of my air rifle..second the trigger is NOT AJUSTABLE,however its the best trigger action i have felt to date...complete surprize every time i shoot it,as it should be. if it had an adjustment id leave it alone,yea that good. the scope? awesome...no fish eye at all,love the retical adjustment...you can make adjustments with the quickness while looking threw it....just to cool,hell dad was impressed! recoil? not bad at all....the scope should live for a long time,this thing is smooth...not sure about its velocity rateing,but it seems close,im useing a heavyer pellet than i like,still breakin her in!!! the group? its shrinkin dramatically....off the bench at least....bottom line,its no wonder browning put there name on it.....a fine peice....should be a head hunter...ive got a squirrel problem. lose your break barrel,be patient,and dial this in correctly and it wont dissapointed, mutch better than the remmington vantage 1200 that i sold. love this thing.
