Thread: Lever action .22/.17hhmr

Howdy, any one got any experience with lever action 22s or .17hmrs?

Look like fun little tinkering/pest guns and bit more fun that the standard 10/22.
Realistically looking at the Henry .22 or Henry Varmint .17hmr price point but would love a Browning BL or 9422 if could find/afford!

Cheers

buy the browning, neither the chiappa or henry i tried were any good. both made of chinesium pot metal
seriously save your $$ and avoid appointment.

I've got a bl22, the most fun rifle I have in the stable. Pretty heavy trigger but you get used to it. Very accurate and fun.

^^^^^buy what cjw says

Bloody good looking bit of kit that. Cheers mate, will save the pennies!

The Marlin 39 is worth a look

BLR-22 Grade 2
nickel plated receiver, octagonal barrel. trigger comes down with lever ( dont get yer thumb web under the hammer when loading thought)
you can have your whole hand on the stock while reloading as only 30 degree pull
go on ya know ya want one!!
forget the other stuff
get a blr

I’ve got a Marlin 39a. The are a good rifle. Full size and weight, man size I guess and shoot well. Quite expensive new but you see one come up second hand for reasonable money every so often if your patient.

First rifle I fired. Way too much fun.

Do yourself a huge favor and stay well away from the Henry brand........POS

Whats up with that, its either a longer barrel or a shorter tube.

the intrnal mag tube has been shortened to keep the evil one happy. although you can keep your whole hand on the stock while cycling you can still get the web of your thumb under the hammer while reloading. still beats a stabbed finger on other model l/'s though

30 years old and an everyday shooter. BL 22, you cant go wrong and its always a joy to shoot.
