You know my first model 39 Marlin was in the 1960's and my latest was in the 1990's. I find that any other lever Acton .22 is just a waste of money. The Marlin .22 lever is the best .22 rimfire ever made and you only need look no further.

Thus saith thr lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeh from the lord. Jeremiah 17:5 KJV
