I am a LH shooter with one long rifle: an older Mossberg tube-fed bolt action. It is accurate and I'm happy with it. But it's size and workings make it more of a target rifle, than a "walk through the woods" plinking and small varmint rifle.
So, I'm thinking of getting a lever .22 in carbine length. Can you folks share your opinions on the most accurate offhand _and_ most trouble-free tubular feeding .22lr lever gun (new or old doesn't matter to me).
I've never handled a lever rifle, so I am maybe more concerned than I should about their reliablility, maintenance, bullet feeding and accuracy.
Am I a fool to even think that I will be better served with a shorter lever gun for my purposes?
Thanks for your opinions . . . Spiros
