I was talking to a local gun repair guy / retailer tonight and mentioned that I was looking for a lever rimfire like the Norc JW-21 and to my superise he said he thought he had a couple in stock in the 2 to 300.00 range. He was going to check and get back to me.
It was all I could do to keep myself from going and buying one since my PAL card was in the mail when I got home and he is less than 5 mins from my house, but I did some research first and have read that they are decent for the price range.
Does anyone here have one or had a chance to fire one? If so what do you think of the gun for plinking?
On another note, I contacted the guys I bought guns from on Gunnutz and they will be on the way to me shortly.

When I got my .22 lever about 5 years ago, I was talked into a Winchester..so that's what I got. Considering how long it took for my wife to start talking to me again, I should have done a little more research. (lower-cost options ) I've heard that the Henry's are excellent rifles though, but like KC, I can't help you on the Norincos.
BTW~not sure what other levers can/can't chamber ammo.-wise, but the Winchester can fire .22 short, long, and long rifle interchangeably. Pretty cool.

I have an older model Marlin Golden 39A in excellent condition that I have not used in a long time. It is one of the finest .22 cal lever action rifles made and I believe the oldest still being manufactured. Too bad you didn't live closer.

Thanks for the input guys... I will keep my eyes open for a good used lever.
