Your buddy sounds like a fine man; I like him already.
One of Jim West's Co-Pilots is near the top of my "someday" list. Not that I need a take-down (unless I'm going to pack it on the Harley), it's just that they are such damn fine guns.
Take a look at the Marlin 39A, as fine a .22 lever gun as can be had. It comes standard from Marlin as a take-down. Some folks think they are a little pricey for "just" a .22 at around $500-$600, but I don't look at it that way. I see it as a rifle that costs about the same as any other Marlin lever gun, but one that can be shot far more for far less. I'm currently on the hunt for one myself, to replace "the one that got away"...
