I have my R92 .357, a 72 Win 94 .30-30 and my .22 plinker , a Henry. I am kind of a .22 mag fanatic and am really considering a .22 mag Henry. Had a Marlin 57m years ago and sold it in a weak moment to a friend, but it was hammerless. I like the western style with an external hammer. I like the feel and accuracy of the Henry, others thoughts will be appreciated.

For the money, Henry's are hard to beat. I had a couple of .22s for awhile - an H001 and an H001T. I really wish I would have kept the octagon barrel one. We were using them for silhouette shooting and they are little light for that. For hunting and plinking, they're great. Some folks criticize them because the receiver cover isn't steel. That wasn't a problem for me. The actions are smooth, trigger pulls aren't bad and they are accurate. The .22 WMR's (H001M) have a grooved receiver for scope mounting.

I've got the .22 S/L/LR in the octagonal with the black receiver and it is the way to go.

IF you muck up the finish on the receiver cover then Cerakote it and keep going.
Haven't got there yet about the Cerakoting and I've got a Win 9422M so I haven't gotten the Henry Maggie but I want one just like my octagonal for a matched pair.

I MIGHT even upgrade the wood to checkered at some point.
