Thinking of getting a Henry lever 22

[SteveJ]

Was wondering which would be best for just plinking and maybe shooting a few tree rats when they get in my pears. The plain H001 or the H001T with the heavy octagon barrel. I know the H001T has the cool factor but looks like the other would be easier to handle. Haven't got to handle the T model yet, hope to find one soon.

My uncle bought my 11 yr old the plain one for his first rifle. He's had it a year and put many rounds through it. Fun to shoot and no complaints.

if your piggy bank will handle it look at a CZ452 American, the most accurate out of the box .22 i ever shot. got two of em..

Waste of time recommending a CZ to Steve, Windstone. He ain't old school, he's old one room school house, old school. Hehehehe

Yep from my research thats what I have learned too but just don't think I want a bolt action 22 rifle, may change, don't know. Yep think the lever gun would go very well with my Ruger Single 6.

Why do all that work to shoot a 22 got a ruger 10/22 all you do is keep pullin the trigger until its mt. have had mine for over 30 yrs no probs. besides arth . is so bad don't think I could work a lever action. But that Henery is a fine gun.

The regular one is a fine little rifle

Got a 10/22 and like it fine just think I would like a "cowboy" rifle, think will just be fun. Ole Arthur has me in my legs and hips but not in my hands so think I will be able to handle the lever action.
