I was wondering if that black aces lever was any good, worth getting?
I would say yes.
It shot well...had a good balance..."pointed" well also.
Recoil wasn't bad ...even with "full house" 00 Buck.
Fit and finish were nicely done.

One thing to consider...
After market parts may be difficult to find...as well as replacement parts....

I don't think there is any such thing as having too many .22 rifles. I've got a few.

Marlin Model 56 Levermatic. Made in first year of production, 1955. Steel receiver with serial number. Numbering was not intended and was discontinued on the Model 56 the next year; then started again in 1968 by law. This was the first gun my cousin bought; he gave it to me in 2001. These have a very short throw lever action. My cousin said, "People these days don't know how hot these were when they came out, before cheap semi auto .22's flooded the market."

I no longer have any semi-auto .22's. But I might change that. I wouldn't mind having another Remington Nylon 66, or a Marlin Model 60 or 99. Maybe even a Ruger 10-22. The thing about buying a second hand semi-auto .22 rifle, you have to be careful. Because over the years, little parts inside can break. Or someone might take one apart just to see what's inside, then not be able to put all the parts back they way they were supposed to go. Replacement parts for the Nylon 66, for example, can be hard to find.
 
Just got really into 22 lr's this year and also got into shooting 22 competitions the pistol is my tandemized Ruger MKIV in a CR Speed holster in the second photo the rifle in the red white and blue taccom chassis is for steel competitions and is a bergara bxr and the the one on the bottom is my favorite rifle I have to shoot it's a Ruger 10/22 in a CP firearms dragon fly chassis with a taccom 10 oz barrel and a valqaurtzen trigger kit. It weighs a little less than 3 pounds with out sight and magazine it has really helped my competitive shooting and is made right here in Oregon. And the last photo is my bergara b-14r carbon with a arken 6-24 scope and I love how it feels like a center fire rifle and it shoots really nice groups!

I decided to collect a representation of each step in the evolution of what many claim is Marlin's record for the longest continuous production run of a rifle with only modest design changes. It started with their Model 1891 (same year) with their sideloader lever action. Modest changes were introduced with the Model 1892, then the model 1897, then the Model 39, and ultimately with the many variations of the 39A. I still lack a Model 1891 Sideloader.

Just curious why did you go with a SOLUS chassis I'm planning on putting my bergara in a chassis and trying to figure out which one I want.
Mainly because it was relatively inexpensive ($450ish on sale last year) compared to some of the more popular chassis on the market. I'm pretty satisfied with it, it's not perfect (the cheekpiece could be more comfortable, and I wish they'd release the folding adapter already) but I haven't had any reliability issues with it at all. Whereas the KRG Bravo I had previously took a lot of tuning to get the gun feeding correctly.
 
I only have one .22 rimfire rifle. It is a, D.P.M.S. dedicated .22lr upper with a bull barrel. I built it up to mimic the weight and balance of my .458S for low cost plinking. After trying several manufacturers it surprised me with its accuracy using the most expensive and the cheapest cartridges I tried. Both at 50 yards, CCI Stinger and ArmScor 36gr.HP
