Marlin makes some of the best 22's around in all types of actions, lever, bolt, semi. Also they have good target models and single shots. Thier semi's are a good "bang' for the buck, pardon the pun, but there are a good solid rifle. My favorite is my lever acton Golden 39A, its a man sized lever action that shoots, shorts, longs and long rifles. The 39A will probably be up around 300 although.
