I've gotten a hankering for a .22 lever action for some reason. Google search says a Browning BL-22 Is the best, but the price point seems to be a bit high for a fun gun.
Need to hit the shops...

I like my Henry lever 22. It's just as fun as my M6 scout.

You live in the State that makes .22 Lever Action Henry rifles.
Obedience is not patriotism. Patriotism is love of your country, not of your government.

The Henrys are about as good as it gets now for lever 22s.  I dont like the fact they are using aluminum recievers, but it is what it is.  I guess brass is an option too.  

Winchester and Browning still make a couple, but Id want to see them in person before purchase.

If you can find an older Marlin 39a?  Then youll have something special.  Too bad Ruger will never make one.

I found this 1955 39a earlier this year. It is absolutely a hoot to shoot.Attached File

While my Henry is a 45-70, I also enjoy my rifle made in our state.

Love my 96/22, but they are mostly unobtanium

I inherited a 39a Mountie from my Dad. After thousands of rounds it is still remarkably accurate.

If you can find one, they are fantastic! Mine is late 50's, early 60s. Purchased in Japan while my Dad was in the Air Force.  Carved stock, inlayed forend and engraved metal. It's sweet!

Nothing wrong with a Henry.
