Reply With QuoteI saw a good looking older Henry Lever 22 at the gun show saturday. Lots of marbling and wood grain. But the $1600 price tag sent me walking.

That Henry is one heck of a gun. A farmer friend had one that he carried in the Rhino. His hot rod son threw it out somewhere. Didn't find it for two years. Ran over it with dual wheeled tractor while bush hogging. Blades didn't get it but the tires put a noticable right to left bend in the receiver and mashed the mag tube some. Pushed an aluminum rod down the mag tube, loaded it up and it's still shooting today. The bend makes getting on the sight a little difficult but she shoots true. Shoots as good as my Browning BL22.

10-22 will work with good ammo . bulk , cheap -------no . Never had a problem with my 552 speedmaster or 10-22 using cci mini mags .

Most any brand of 22 will be finicky on the cheap ammo, buy the hotter high velocity bullets and it will take care of most issues. JMO

I have a Henry 45 long Colt. Man it shoots good. Bought my Grand daughter a 22lr Henry for Christmas she has already shot 4 boxes of shells through it, She is 13 and loves it. She also shoots my AR15, Going to buy all of the grand kids A Henry when they get 13 they are a great investment. and something that they will always remember getting it from Grand Dad. They also make a pump 22 almost bought one for me when I got her the her gun.
When nothing is going right, Just go fishing.

Yes....when you can find them. Don't have a whole lot of choice on 22's now days. Its basically get what you can find and then pay a big price for it.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

cool gun--I have an old mossberg bolt 22 from that time period myself. Was a target 22 by grand dad traded a mule and cart for it. Had a factory scope on it at one time but my uncle broke it when he was a kid. Looks similar to yours too.
