IMO one of the best lever 22 rifles is the Browning BL 22.
The BL 22 is sweet as Banana Pudding !
I have an XTR 9422 M with WinCam stock that I really like.
Obviously I like Savage 99s......
Then B L Rs in centerfire rifles.
ADMITTEDLY I'm prejudiced TOWARD Weight/Power ratio. I ain't carrying a HEAVY rifle with a Softball trajectory.
Personal Preference-------NO OFFENSE toward anyone, okay ?
