For a lever I would get a Marlin 39. Put a peep sight on it and have a blast. Semi - Ruger 10/22, zillions of accessories for it so you can pimp it out any way you want. I've never had a Marlin 60 but I've heard nothing but good things about them. Bolt - Same for the Tikka T1x. If I was starting over I think I'd start here. Pump - You didn't mention it but take a look at the Remington 572, I love mine. Wag more, bark less. The freedoms we surrender today will be the freedoms our grandchildren will never know existed.

His groups are about .05" larger than mine on average. My 10/22 don't shoot all that good. I am..........disturbed.

At 13+ pounds not a field rifle however. Depends on the use and money one wants to spend. Plenty of very good rifles out there.

Better trigger than the CZ, more accurate and accurate with a wider variety of ammo, than the CZ. Already had Ruger 1022s and multiple magazines, same mags work in both rifles. Sold the CZ for more than I paid for it. Learned to like synthetic stocks and matte metal finishes. The Ruger is D/T'd for scope bases, or use the standard dovetail system. I prefer bases, so mine has Burris Z rings. Had a Marlin 39A. Also very accurate and fun to shoot, but the Ruger American is a lot lighter to tote. Once had over a dozen 22 rim fire rifles. Now down to a mere five or six. If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

I've never shot an Anschutz, but I'd like to. If you want to spend some cash, check out Cooper.
