Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Best (affordable) .22 Lever Action

I don't like straight grip stocks all that much.

Besides, the Marlin 39 has stood the test of time. It has been, in 1 form or another, in production for over 100 years, while the Winchester products have come and gone. Not saying that Winchester lever action rimfires are bad, just that if buying for myself, a friend, or recommending to a stranger, there isn't any reason not to go with the best and in this market niche, that is the Marlin 39. There is 1 Winchester lever action rimfire that I wouldn't mind owning, an 1873 with a good bore, but they seem to be few and far between.
