I'm looking at one of these for my 10 year old boy. Are these pretty good rifles? I don't want him to have a semi auto until he gets older. These are in my price range any advice would be great.

Re: Henry lever actions .22
My son got one for Christmas one year from his grandfather. When I picked it up I was surprised and how well made it was. I still shoot that little 22LR when ever I get a chance. It will last for years to come and Henry's Customer Service is top notch.

I bought one to shoot cowboy silhouette. Looked great and was very accurate.
Now for the bad part: The pot metal feed mechanism wore out in about 6-700 rounds. Lots of failures to feed.

Have you seen the Browning BL-22? I have one with a leup 2-7x28 on it, the LOP is a bit short for me but probably ideal for adolescent shooters.

I have the youth model and it has 2 to 3 thousand rounds out of it and no issues.

When your son outgrows the Henry youth model, you can upgrade to a longer factory stock.

Re: Henry lever actions .22
Thanks guys for all your help. I've decided to get the Henry after all of the support from the hide. I got him the full size not the youth as he is a big for his age and my Rossi pump is a youth. I like the hooded front sight on it and the gun feels good and solid and not a cheap POS. Anyways today is his birthday and I will let you guys know how his face is when he opens it up tonight. Thanks again hiders

Nice rifle. Marlin 39a is nicer, but a little pricey. The Henry is perfect for a child.
Might want to check on some bolt actions too. Savage mark II is less than 200 has the acu-trigger and pretty accurate out the box. CZ's 452 trainers are nice but cost a little more.

I had a Marlin and it was a dandy, However i still prefer the Henry's smooth action and crisp trigger. I want one in every caliber!
