The oldest continuously manufactured rifle is probably the Marlin Golden 39A Lever Action .22 LR .

Hello

I would recommend marlin 39A ( bull barrel with micro grove gives astonishing accuracy, besides take apart with only a coin for maintenance, holds 19 LR, enough for any little cowboy action

When I was 14 or there abouts, I bought my first gun. It was a Marlin 39A and I still have it. It has dispatched many many varmints. I shoot anything and everything that is .22 LR through it, including the Winchester Wildcat and Remington Lightning cheap ammo. I still have several thousand rounds of each stashed away in military ammo cans. Everytime it went on sale for $10 per 500, I bought some. In those days, I shot 300 to 400 rounds at an outing, and even though my 39A is not scoped (it is old, with the pre-microgroove or "Ballard" rifling), I never took a back seat to anyone else in the shooting department, scope or not. This included my brother, with his brand new Browning Automatic with Redfield scope.

Because I am not an exceptional shot, I credit my Marlin for this performance. Every gun is different; even a pair made together on the assembly line, but mine is a sure shooting machine. In all the years I shot with others, nobody ever looked down on my Marlin, and for good reason!

As far as the 9422 is concerned, and the article Doc mentioned, I don't have any familiarity with it.

I think Browning BLR's are dandy little .22's.

It is indeed a sweet, and accurate, little rifle. But never trust its half-cock position for a safety, as you can with other hammer guns.

I've never used a Marlin Lever action .22. in fact, I haven't seen too many in this area. I guess this is not Marlin Country. However, I have had the pleasure (and I do mean pleasure) of using the Winchester 9422 and the Henry Golden Boy. They are both beautiful little rifles. Henry's quality is always decent but the Golden Boy is really done well. Henry has really brought their quality up in the last few years and their rifles are impressive. I also like the fact that there is no checkering on it. You really don't need checkering on a .22

The Winchester that I shot, which was a 1985 or 1986 rifle, on the other hand was a thing of joy. Slick, smooth action. Very positive ejection. Don't look real close to see how the empty is ejected, it can be painful (ask me how I know). The fit and finish was excellent; nicely figured walnut, deep, deep bluing, well balanced and did I say slick action (yes, very slick action). It is easy to run the lever fast on it but the trigger guard is slightly smaller and you can get your finger pinched by the bottom of the trigger if you are not careful (ask me how I know ) when trying to go too fast. I couldn't help it, the action was so slick that it was just begging me to run it as fast as I could.

Here is another 22 lever action you may find-


If you look at the bottom rifle, it is a Marlin 57M (this one is a 22 magnum, but there are the 22 long rifle versions around). They are very nice guns. They have an extremely short lever throw, short enough you do not have to remove your hand from the grip interestingly enough.
