New .22cal rifle.

Don't buy a lever at the moment . The gov has deemed them to be the new devil gun. I wouldn't put anything past them , they have never let facts get in the way before.

May I suggest a Anschutz 1416 dkl . Mine sure is pritty and shoots better then I can . They usually go for around $ 1300 . Got mine on special for a 1000 flat. There were reports of some ejection issues in the past but mine has operated flawlessly.

Got a CZ455 with a lightened trigger kit, love it.

I thought CZ was supposed to have a pretty good trigger right off the bat?

go with the Savage.

The prettiest rifle is a Browning BL-22 lever action. 15 shots and you can cycle the action as quick as a semi auto. Just over $1000.00.

Nope, that is total BS, I have a 10/22 at the moment but have had the miroku version of your BL22 and it is physically impossible to cycle it as fast as a semi auto.

Everyone knows lever actions are as fast as pumps and semis...

For up to a $1000, I just bought the Lithgow Crossover LA101 in .22. Build quality is superb, floated varmint barrel and accurate. I've only put just under 200 rounds through it and it has been a sub-MOA rifle with the odd flier.

Faster than automatics apparently by how the media are going on about them at the moment

My information is probably many years out of date but if you are looking at the CZ look at the stock, I bought one once and without a heap of duct tape and foam rubber to serve as a cheek rest the stock was useless with a scope, in the words of the great Jim Carmichael "You would need a head shaped like that of a horse".

It could be interesting to know what the bloke who designed the stock looks like

I can only speak to the CZ455, mine is the 455 American. Accurate, handy and great value. Only short coming is the trigger could be better.

Personally I think my 550 trigger was fine out of the box.

Some have said they found them a bit heavy and with a little creep though.
