Henry .22 leveraction?

[CatDaddy]

Ok, Im thinking of buying a .22 Henry leveraction. I was wondering if anybody on here owns one and what do they think of it? I noticed the sights are a little cheap looking and the barrel band are plastic. What do you think?

[jcdflint]

I, had one, But my friend used it and I never got it back.
It was a real shooter. It had the smoothest action of all my leverguns. I SAY GO FOR IT!!!!!!!

by the way! He didn't give it back because it shot too "WELL"
I 'll have to go bye another I think!!!! "HE"LL PAY BIG"

I cant believe nobody else has an opinion about the Henry.

Catdaddy,
They don't know what there missing. One great gun. If you want the yellow boy version is really cool too!!!! But its a bit $$$$$$$



My Marlin 39-A is a real sweet 22 also. You can pick up a good used one for about the same $$$ as a new Henry

same here on the 39-A my favorite of all my .22 rifles . i think it is a golden A ? or were they all ? anyway that microgroove barrel is a shooter.

I've always wanted an AR-20.

I used to have an AK-22, but I traded it at swappers day for a CVA inline muzzle loader...:)

Madriver,
My Dad has a Original Marlin 39. He showed me how to shoot with it! Then there was the 39-A. In the 60's I think, they came out with the 39-A golden . Thats my gun. That micro-groove barrel is great. The marlins have really nice walnut stock also. Just a great gun for tree rats to groundhogs. But the Henry has a smother action though. The finish is not as good but its not bad. I'd be happy with ether in the woods hunting. Shoot strait BOYS!!!
I hope I get my Dad's Marlin someday? (three other Brothers) But not to soon Dad!

I've been thinking lately about a Browning leveraction 22, the BL22. It does the Short, Long, & Long Rifle thing. It has such a short throw on the lever that you don't have to take your hand off the stock to chamber another round. :cool: ;) :D If they're anything like my BLR I'd be well pleased.:D

I won a Yellow Boy at our club's fish fry and it is the smoothest lever I've ever shot. Exceptionally accurate and has a sweet trigger pull.

If I was buying I would probably go for one in all blue as the brass will probably stick out to a squirrel.

What would be really nice would be to have a Yellow Boy with an old fashioned tang peep sight.
