Thread: More Relaxed, and my New Henry .22

Tried a number of levers and personal favourite is the Winchester 9422. Had a pair of 9422s in 22LR and 22WMR - in mint condition - but sold them both several years ago as too pretty to be knocked round in heavy shooting off the truck. Delightful wee rifle.

The other lever to impress me alot in the field was a bit of a sleeper - not many around - and that was the Ruger model 96 in 22LR. Excellent wee rifle and dam good hunter. More accurate than the Ruger semis at 0.7" groups at 50m, and with its short throw action, absence of blowback mag clogging, and trouble free running it was an absolute little gem.

Miroku/Browning and Marlin model 39 also well regarded levers. I hope Henry goes well for you - if it doesn't there are several really good lever 22 choices available.
