What do you all think?
Looks like I can pick up a basic blued one for $325. What are the receivers made from?
They feel solid and look like they could be a ton of fun. I just don't know anyone with first had experience .
I already have 7 different .22 rifles just none in a lever platform

I have a goldenboy youth, love it. Accurate, fun, easy to use, and just really damned nice!

Nice rifles. I have a pair of them and I love them.

I have the Small Game carbine in.22 and it's insanely accurate and addicting. It's like a magic wand with the factory skinner sight.

Nice rifles. Smooth and solid. I have the octagon barrel frontier model in .22LRRF.

What are the receivers made from on the rim-fire models? Well, technically the actual serialized receiver is made from steel, but what you see that looks like the receiver is Zamak zinc alloy cover plates.

I've thought about getting a Henry 17 magnum (HMR).

H001Y - youth model - love it

Fun gun, smooth, and easy to customize. Use to be cheap to shoot, however, with scalpers hogging the 22lr ammo mine is a safe queen.

That's a nice one Steve

Thanks, I've had it since early 2009 and by 2010 it looked just like the picture. It's smooth and reliable and these days I use it mostly for new shooters and women shooters who want a bit of the 'old west' feel. It's a good platform to teach them to fully cycle the action to ensure proper feeding.

The Browning BL-22 is only a bit more and is a much finer product, all steel, finely finished, and not a single plastic part on it. I would save a bit more lunch money and go with the Browning.

Yes, I owned a Henry for a while and they are pretty decent shooters. They are made of pot metal and have plastic parts. Henry makes replacement pot metal parts for the plastic parts. One would think they would just install them, rather than selling them separately. I gave the Henry to a family member.

I have a Henry Frontier that I put brasslite parts and Skinner sights on. Nice little .22, but my Marlin 39A is a much better rifle.

Yes, the Browning BL-22 is nice, however, at more than twice the price many of us will stay with the Henry. An H001 is $285 from Bud's while they sell a BL-22 for $593. A beautiful little carbine, however, it almost makes the Browning almost too nice to shoot.

The Browning is nice and id go that route if I found the right deal.
I will have to think about it with the price being twice as high for the BL22.
It's good to see the positive reviews on the Henery even though I don't care for the cheaper parts.

I have no experience with the Henry rimfires but I love their centerfires and have 3.

If you get a Browning, consider a maple one. Blondes have more fun.
