Many will disagree of course, but the coolness of the SA alone would make it my preferred choice of the two. How can you not love such a perfect little rifle?
Ummm, probably because...
A. My brother has one.
B. All 3 of my Marlin semi auto's {M995, M989M2 and M60} outshoot it easily.
C. Levers are more versatile, being able to feed and function correctly with shorts, longs, Long rifles, CB's and shotshells.
D. It's just another semi auto .22 to me.
