A bolt action, for accuracy, with a clip for ease of loading and unloading the rifle when getting into and out of the vehicle, is hard to beat. The good old Marlin lever, which has been made forever, is almost as accurate and has the advantage of faster between shots, but I could never figure out why this is important in a 22, is an excellent choice. Except for me, the tube mag is a disadvantage. I guess it depends what you want to do with it. For twenty years after WW2 organized target shooting with the 22 was big time, highly contested events. I never saw any rifle on the range that wasn't a BSA break action or a bolt action, such as the Winchester 52 for the heavy weights and the 69 for sporting.
