Well, its that time again... Time to start looking for a new rifle to add to the collection. I've decided that as much as I love shooting lever-guns, I need to add a .22 to the pile so I can afford to shoot them as often I want.

Any suggestions on the make/model I should be after?

I was considering a Henry Golden Boy, but I'm not sure its worth the heavy price tag, especially when Henry makes a lever-gun for less money. Not that it even has to be a Henry, mind you... I would like to go as cheap as possible for a decent rifle that will hold up to countless rounds, though.

Thoughts? Recommendations for your favorite one?
