I like the idea of a nice iron sights 22 plinker that's faster than a bolt action. Any experience with a BL-22? There is always a pump action Remmy or Henry as an alternative.
I have 8 22s...2 are levers, a Browning BL 22 Grade II and a Marlin 39D (short like the 39 Mountie). Love both lever guns and the BL 22 is my hands down favorite of all my 22s.
