Henry Lever Action .22 Magnum
 

I've been looking at these for several weeks and love the look and feel of them. I'm wondering if anybody else here has one and would care to give me their opinion. I mainly want it for varmint and possibly a coyote here and there once I get my scope on it. Ive got a 12 gauge and 357 for anything else that may venture into the backyard, I just want something that I can target shoot with also.

I do believe I will be getting one of these shortly!

just bought the golden boy with the octagon barrel about a month ago. a damn fine rifle. you cant beat it for the money. and made in america. :tu:

I've been looking at them myself. I love lever-guns, octagon barrels and the .22 Mag ain't no sloutch! Me personally though, I'd keep the scope off and install a tang-mounted peep!

I'd love to buy the octagon barrel but I'm trying to stick to a budget lol. I backed out of a set of injectors to take on a couple other purchases. Looking at the 22 mag and upgrading a few things in the garage and finishing the remodel on the bathroom. Is the tang mounted peep something I can install and sight on myself and what's the cost of the peep? I'm actually not a fan of scopes I just wanted to reach out a little farther if needed.

I have one in 22 LR, it actually shoots longs and shorts as well

I've been Looking at Marble's peep sights for my Savage 30GM Steven's Favorite in .22 Mag.
They're around 125 bucks or so. The link below is their catalog for their basic sight, along with an instructional video on how to mount them to a rifle. In this case, a Uberti 1873.

Bought me a 22 LR yesterday. Love this gun. Shoots straight and with the 100 or so rounds I put through it, it never missed a beat. Action is as smooth as I've ever seen. All around it's a sweet little gun. And the best part... The wife loves it too.

I have one they are AMAZING to say the least. worth every penny!

We put about 500 rounds through my brother in laws lever action .22 over the weekend and had a blast.

I've heard nothing but good about these guns

Honestly I think it's about the best gun I've ever owned and should be picking up another one very soon. I'm thinking about buying the .22 mag to match it and letting the wife have the LR. I've put over 1000 rounds through it so far and I haven't got a bad word to say about it

IMHO, Marlin makes the best lever actions out there. I have a lever action 30-30, and wont trade it for anything. I would love to have that .22 Mag. I need new exhaust first :( Edit, sorry, got it confused there. I have the AR-7 from Henry. Awesome gun. For some reason I saw lever action and thought I read Marlin :P I would still love a lever action 22 Mag.

I have this one in 17HMR!!! Sweet little rifle

I've got a Winchester 94/22...couple Ruger 10/22's and a Henry 22 lever action....the Henry is not quite as good as the 94/22, but it is a excellent rifle, well worth getting. Any 22 long rifle will shoot 22 shorts & CB caps also....

Here it is last weekend when we were out shooting...

Man, I like your wood! :scare2: Seriously, that is some fine grain, was that extra?

I dont think it cost anymore but i cant remember

I have a MARLIN 783 22 mag. It's accurate, but the 22 magnum ammo cost about the same as 223 & the 223 is a much better round, buy a 223 rifle (If your wondering why i bought a 22 mag, cause i got the rifle with 3,000 rounds of CCI 30 gr. Hollow-Point & 500 rounds of CCI snake shot for $305

So where you buying .223 ammo for $10.00 for 50 rounds, Martin? :w2: And really, it depends on what you consider "better". The .22 magnum has less recoil, MUCH less noise and, in general, won't carry into the next county like the .223. If your targets are under 150 yards, I feel the .22 Magnum is the "better" choise.

Here you go WPA (Wolf) .223 55grn FMJ 20rd Box
