A Marlin 39-A would be a super choice. Try to find an older one at your local FFL though as the new ones have a quality setback. I bought a 39-A not that long ago, made in the 60's that was well cared for and of course in excellent condition. I installed an "era" 6X Weaver on the same and the accuracy is surpeb!A Marlin 39 would also be a great choice.
