I had a Winchester 9422 that was outstanding. My friend bought a Henry golden boy that was beautiful but shot insanely high at 20 yds. My Browning BL-22 (1972 vintage) has to be my favorite lever gun in double-douce(s, l, and lr.) as my dad gave it to me for my birthday and it is a shooting dream. It has a 33 degree lever throw, so you don't even jerk the lever....you literally flick your fingers to lever in another round. It is also very compact. All in all though, my Winchester 62-A and my Model '06 carbine (both pumps .22 s,l, and lr.) get the majority of the trips for game. The BL-22 is around $500 or less new. Some can be had around the $375 mark if you look. Check out GB on-line.........
