A lever-action .22 can hold enough rounds to make it worth the shooter's while, plus not have the ejection issues that autos have and are not picky about ammo.  My Marlin 39A is the Mountie version (20" barrel) and can hold 15 rounds of 22LR or 21 22 Short.  Reliable, very accurate, and dang fun.</blockquote>
