			Rocky, 
 
After years of ignoring the lever rifles, I have become a big fan of them.  A Marlin 336 in 30-30 and my newer 1894C in 38/357 won me over.  I don't own a lever 22 but wish I had bought a Marlin 39M years ago.  Sadly, they dropped it from production.  I prefer the 20" barrel to the longer and heavier 39A (24" barrel).  Used ones for sale are almost non-existent.  The ones available cost an arm and a leg.
