For one, they can cycle virtually anything. For instance, owning a lever-action .22 makes a lot of sense. 22s are essentially a multi-purpose caliber so having one rifle that can shoot shorts, quiets, etc., comes in real handy.The other advantage I can readily think of is as a learner. Lever-actions are safer than semi-autos & a more natural/efficient movement than cycling bolt-actions so a beginner can better concentrate on fundamentals.The standard Henry .22 is a perfect rifle for a kid to learn on, IMO.</blockquote>
