Thread: Lever action .22/.17hhmr

Spoiled for choice really - four good levers in 22LR to choose from.

Winchester 9422 a gem, as are Marlin 39A and Browning/Mirokus, and Ruger model 96 lever also an excellent wee hunter. Which one you buy is simply down to personal preference, and more importantly, what comes available. All good.

Henry 22LR levers not so good - as noted above. After a few rounds mine shot all over the place due to heat distortion with skinny little barrel. Their 17HMR with heavy octagonal barrel "might" be better, but you'd want some very good good independent test confirmation before you looked hard at it.

Levers marvellous fun - everyone should have some in the closet at some time. Real fun action..
