I have CZs in the 453 American and 453 Varmint flavors as well as a CZ 455 Varmint Tacticool. All are quite accurate.

However, there are no shortage of CZ 452, 453, 455 and 457 rifles and they still make them.

The Marlin 39 and 39A however are out of production, are getting hard to find, and I doubt Ruger will start making them again. The take down design of its receiver makes it very difficult to manufacture and I don’t think Ruger will decide it would be economical to bring it back into production, even after they figure out how to build decent lever actions in a few years.

So if you want a Model 39A, get one now.



They are the largest and most adult sized of the .22 LR lever action rifles, and are the most accurate of the bunch.
