Jimbob you are a terrible person. Do you have any idea what my wife is gonna do when she finds out about this ?
I will be sleeping in my car for weeks!
I had resigned myself to pistol purchases only..... it never ends it never sleeps. This site is bad ofr my wallet and personal safety in a sense.
The Browning BL-22 has a shorter stroke than the Henry. I have a BL-22. I bought it used at Gunrummers on consignment for I think $375 which is a good price for a 1995 model that is in extremely fine condition except for a coulple of marks on the stock. Shoots good also although being the first and only lever gun I have I am not a good judge on levergun accuracy.
This is good and helpful advice, as many of you know I am a bit of a lever action nut have have a good selection of rifle and pistol calibers but not a rimfire gun. I also always wanted an engraved gun and this seems like a good entry level to both worlds.
I hadnt thought about the browning. What are the advantages of the the Browning over the Henry, other than being a hair cheaper.
...
I have a Henry 30-30, which is a work of art, and a Miroku Winchester in 357, which is also a work of art.
I do know Browning gets a lot of rifles made at the Miroku plant in japan, but I don't know if the BL-22 is made there.
