Jr,
I have
Browning semi 22lr
Springfield semi 22lr
Marlin semi-auto {carbine} 22lr
Marlin bolt 22lr
Winchester lever 22mag
I always go for the lever, I think it's more fun to shoot.
I like the Marlin Bolt for the little tree critters
and it's safer when teaching kids.

I have an old Remington pump that when you hold the trigger
all you have to do is pump them out as quick as you can.
I suspect a worn sear.
