Shooting Most Fun 22LR Rifle you'd recommend?

So when I bought my Adler Arms 22, I didn't think it would be a lemon.
What 22 cal rifle would you say is the most fun to shoot?

Henry lever is lots of fun but reload kind of sucks. Anyone know why 22 levers don’t have side gates?  I’m sure there is a good reason. I would buy another 22 levers if I could thumb rounds into the side.

Marlin 1891. You're welcome. Apparently it's because the cartridge geometry and the way you need to cram it into the gate has a tendency to pop bullets out of their shells. The 1891 was only produced for a few years because of this, and few if anyone attempted it ever again.
