    It appears I have a thing for .22lr's as I own (3) and am set on buying a 4th. I own a Henry Golden Boy, CZ 452 Military Trainer, and a Marlin D60 (Anniv model). I saw for first time a Browning BL 22 (lever) and the Browing SA 22 (semi-auto). I have to have one of them. Is anyone familiar enough to recommend one over other? I tend toward the lever as it shoots shorts also but of the 3 I own the Marlin 60 is my least used. Not sure if cuz its an SA or just maybe I don't prefer an SA??? However, I can't see another lever replacing my Henry. Any help or opinions welcome.

    I'd try the lever for fun's sake. And I'd look very hard at a Marlin 39. Awesome little rifle. Just don't look at Ruger 10/22s. They're paycheck eaters. First you've gotta have the fancy scope, then the nice stock, then a suppressor, then another barrel and ANOTHER stock... You get the idea.

    I have a half dozen or so CZs, a Marlin 39A and 39M, a couple 10/22s, a Remington 541T, Ruger 77/22 and a Norinco K98 Trainer copy. I like the CZs the best and then the Marlin 39M. Levers are fun little rifles to plink with and enjoy. I'd go for the BL 22 id it were me. :yesway:

    Sounds like you need a pump action to round out your collection. I can't recommend one right off the top of my head but there are a few to choose from and I am sure some here will have their favorites.
