Delta Cypher Zero--What do you intend to do with your contemplated .22? That would figure heavily in my recommendation as to lever or bolt.

If you intend to compete with this rifle, you'll have to get a bolt action, probably heavy barrel rifle. Levers just don't cut it in the extreme accuracy department.

If you are more into cool looks in a rifle, well, every lever gun out there out-cools every bolt, and most are accurate enough for casual plinking.

So: Tell us what you want to do with it, and we'll tell you what one to get, to do it.
