I am jonesing for a new plinker to shoot cans and stuff.
What is the best value in a .22LR lever gun? The criteria: (i) must be of good quality with exc. fit & finish and smooth operation; (ii) must shoot .22 S/L/LR ammo, so tube feeding is a must; (iii) must not be too large (max. barrel length 20"); and (iv) must cost under $600 new.
I have my eye on the four posted in the poll. I like the short throw lever and light weight of the BL-22. On the other hand, the smoooooth lever action, great customer service and low prices of the Henry guns have me intrigued. Then again, the Winchester looks beautiful and is an instant classic now that it's been discontinued.
***It appears the Marlin 39 should added to poll by popular demand, but I can't sem to figure out how the heck to do it
