I have a Browning 22 lever action, very nice gun to shoot. Everything works very smoothly, one of my favorite plinking guns, and pest guns around the barns.
Anyone got a 22lr lever action?

No big deal, you most likely never hit many of them.

Why did I start looking at 22s....
If you are just wanting a 22 to plink with, seriously look at the Rugar 10-22's they are cheap, and there are tons of aftermarket parts available for them.

My grandfather bought a Marlin 22 (I believe it is a model 39A golden trigger) new in the 70s. Last time I saw it, it looked like it was brand new. Looks a lot like this one.

Trust me I want a good ole Rugar 10-22. Just looking at pictures of them takes me back.
I just have to make the choice of what I really want.
Look around and see what you can find used, that might make your decision easier.

Here in Ca there is about zero used guns for sale. Its so hard to get guns here no one is selling anything but I will keep my eyes open.

Can you all purchase guns from online sales (like Gunbroker)? I imagine the answer is no, but I'm still curious.
I have a Henry 22or with large loop wouldn't get rid of it love the rifle
That makes it rough, pick up any paper in WV there are lots of guns for sale.
We give our kids guns before their 10th birthday.

Large loop? Is that the big front sight?
Is the front sight plastic?
Can a scope be mounted on it?

I had a Winchester lever action with a hammer back in the 50's. If I remember correctly my father traded a military carbine for it. I loved it as long as I could keep it working. Shop could not get parts and had to make a certain part that kept wearing out. I can't remember what I did with it.

I think he means the size of the lever itself
loop is the lever like John Wayne a lot easier to run through ammo

Henry slogan: made in USA or not made at all.
That's how you do it, folks.
10/22 are great but ban states hate em. The Marlin 30 is very similar, tube fed and shoots great if you don't live in a free state.

just read this on the Henry "not all Henry lever actions have a 3/8inch dovetail. If you have a Model H001 and the barrel is stamped made in Brooklyn NY with a serial number less than 250,000 please email the good folks at Henry to find out what size dovetail you have. Any rifle stamped made in Br
oklyn NY with a serial number greater than 250,000 you have the standard 3/8inch 60 degree cut. In 2002 Mr. Imperato moved his company to Bayonne, New Jersey to a much larger facility all of these barrels will have the standard 3/8inch cut."

Ah, made in New Haven, just like pizza, you will not find anything better
Here you go, 10-22 top, 94-22 on the bottom.

I do like a 10-22 but the problem with those scary black fully semiautomatic rifles is they keep failing off my fishing boat. Those suckers are slippery!
Its easier to hold on to a checkerd wood stock than a scary black one.

You can put all the .22 lever actions side by side and I promise you the Henry has one of the smoothest actions made. I don't own one but wouldn't hesitate if the deal was right.

the ruger 10-22 is pretty much infinitely customizable
the Henry, well, it is such a class act, there is little room for improvement
(but i am thinking of putting HIVIZ sights on mine)

Yeah I know, it was a joke about "tactical looking scary black rifles".
I wouldn't mind owning either of those. Both look like great guns!
