Well, we will probably be shooting on a campout or two. I'm a gun owner, but I don't particularly want to take my guns because I don't want to pay for the ammo! (how cheap is that).

But if I had a .22, it would be much more economical, and still be fun for all involved. Plus after armageddon, it will useful in the urban environment to shoot and eat squirrels.

So I know they sell the Marlin semi-auto for dirt cheap. Less than 100. I'm not that into having a semi-auto 22. What I'd really like is a lever action. They sell a Henry .22 lever action for about $200. Anyone have an opinion on it?

I'd rather even have a bolt action than a semi-auto.
