Love my Browning Auto .22
My grandfather bought one for every boy in the family. He died before he gave me the one set aside for me (I'm the youngest) but my parents gave it to me the Christmas after. It was always a straight shooter. I have quarter I shot 3 times at ~25 yards open sights. I have since given it to my oldest who has my grandpa's and my middle name. My parents bought my youngest son one so he could have a matching one with the rest of the family (too many boys!) and I bought myself another one.
My uncles is blond stock that was Belgium made and he gave it to one of his grandsons, his son gave his to the other son. My dad gave his to my sisters son. The rest were Japan made I think.
There is still one that in a machine shed somewhere on our farm that my grandpa hid in-case he ever needed it quickly while working. We've been looking for it for 30 years, I don't think we will find it LOL.
