Looking to one day add a lever .22 to the collection.
In your thoughts and experiences, which is the best lever .22? Which is the nicest to shoot/your favourite? Any known issues with any of these? I’d like something that will hopefully last a long time as a plinker and target shooter, and accurate enough to be fun.

Thank you in advance!

The Browning lr-22 is by far the nicest lever .22

I have one and it was the first gun I purchased. My dad had a rossi pump gallery 22 I used to love shooting and the with the short throw the browning lever has a similar fun, light, fast-handling feel. That's a great innovation that takes advantage of the small cartridge. I love how it just takes a flick. The entire trigger+guard is part of the lever! Pretty accurate too I've head shot grouse with this thing using the stock sights!
