To operate a bolt-action, the handle must be lifted and the bolt withdrawn then pushed forward. Shown here is the famous Anschutz Model 64 action.

A pump-action like this Winchester Model 90 can be operated very quickly since only motion backward and forward is required.

Operating a lever-action like this Henry requires the lever to be pulled downward then raised in order to cycle the action.

Before you select a rimfire firearm, it is necessary to decide what you intend to do with it. It is not unreasonable for a rimfire shooter who is buying a new rifle for serious varmint hunting or competition to spend a great deal of money. For these shooters, equipment at the cutting edge of performance is worth the investment. The rifles and pistols in this category are not made by the millions as are some of the low-end models. By the same token, it is not necessary to spend a great deal of money if all you are going to do is to take a youngster out to hunt squirrels or shoot pop cans. Rifles that perform well enough for this type of shooting do not cost a great deal of money.
