Does anyone here have any experience with the Walther P22?
Haven't shot one personally but I've seen a lot of owners who loved their other Walthers complain about the reliability of the P22... You might want to check out the Walther Forum

Havent used it miselt either but i heard that it picky when it comes to ammo. Cheap rounds can often misfire. But in general i think its great for target practice since ammo is cheap.

I've been rather curious. Personally, I really like Walthers...

Henry H001 in .22 LR and 8.5" Pac-Lite on a MKIII 22/45 frame, also .22 LR... Oh yeah, and cats.
Never really been a huge fan of .22s for some reason. But they have their uses, which is why I still have two of them.
The Henry ain't a Marlin 39, but it's inexpensive, reasonably accurate, the action's slick as grease, and a hell of a lot of fun. Only thing I'd change is to swap out the sights to a ghost ring setup, but it's more likely that I'll drop on a cheap red dot. I originally purchased it to see if I liked the whole lever gun concept, before dropping real money on a Marlin in 45/70.
The Pac-Lite/Ruger weighs next to nothing, is a lot more accurate than me, and a great plinker to boot. I really like it as it's light enough to have some recoil with HV rounds. It' s a great way for me to practice sight alignment for next to nothing. Ammo prices lately have been downright scary.

My Feedback
the SMLE may look like crap but it still shoots well enough
the 2 mosin bores are some of my best... plenty of shine, strong lands, only a small spot of frost in the M91 (and i noticed i need to find my bore snake to clear the random bits of dust from the bore before taking any more bore pics)
Went and cleaned and oiled a big part of the collection yesterday - I love the smell of Hoppe's #9, and gunoil!
Played great music and had a grand time making sure all the stuff stays good to hand down.
Now I gotta go and start reloading with a vengeance - have let stocks of .45 and .38/357 get entirely too low. I need to have a coupla thousand on hand of each.
I have too much old .22 ammo - just gonna have to go to the range and blow off a few bricks, just for fun!!!
Gonna get the shotshell loader in commission - a friend gave it to me for free, just like the Dillon that I use so much for Handgun cartridges. Gonna have to find another excuse to give the Wife instead of the "saving Money" one that she knows is BS that I gave for the Dillon.....Hmmm - How about "Honey, this will let me load light loads for you to shoot the Shotguns" - that should do it!
Just placed a few orders with Sportsman's Guide folks, Midway, and Cheaper Than Dirt - This is gonna be a wonderful summer!
Wishin you all a great season Squintin', Squeezin',Shootin', and Breezin'!!!

Perhaps something like this?
Marlin 1895G Guide Gun in .45-70 as originally catalogued. Eighteen inch ported barrel, Williams aperture receiver sight, buckhorn dovetail shoed with blank block. Surprisingly accurate and pleasant to shoot with 350 grain JHP at @ 2000fps.

That's purty! I've never been sold on the idea of lever guns but I'd buy that one!
