Best Affordable Rimfire Lever Action?

The Savage Revel revives the brand's history in making lever-actions. It is available in either a Classic model with straight grip or a Deluxe model with a curved grip and enhanced stock. Both .22 rimfire lever-action rifles proved fun and reliable to shoot and are very affordable. Field Editor Craig Boddington tested and evaluated this pair for Guns & Ammo's August 2025 issue. Boddington compares the inspiration for these lever guns, as well as the details, with Managing Editor Jack Oller and Editor-in-Chief Eric R. Poole.

Fortunately, you're not tasked with apprehending a suspect or engaging enemy combatants. Instead, your job is to protect yourself and your family. That will likely require a firearm, a light, and a basic understanding of solo room-clearing tactics.
