Right on Gun Broker, two of em......

first

second

No 1894M's available there right now!

What I meant is a traditional looking 22mag lever. Not much on that look. Looks like my ruger 10/22 with a lever.

 

[1895Gunner]

Agree with you on that. In Marlin that leaves the 1894M, they show up once in a while on GB but they are getting pricy.....

Pretty sure Winchester made .22wmr lever guns in the 70's and 80's. Check it out.

Henry makes two...one round barrel, one octagon.
VERY nice rifles...mike

are they nice? i have heard very mixed opinions.

mine is very nice.they no longer use the plastic parts. The frontier mod.(octagon barrel) never did.
the action is smooth, trigger crisp and clean. 100% made in USA.
gauranteed forever!

I've been at this a long time, and am not easy to fool.
oh yeah...it's accurate.
nice furniture...nice checkering...I really like it...can ya tell?...mike

any pics? i was looking at both models the standard and frontier. i want a well balanced hunting rifle. accuracy would be great. scope-ability is cool too. ive looked at the winnies and they are running about $850 which is a little up there. id almost rather buy a bolt rifle in 22 hornet than to spend that. but im all still up in the air. i have alot i want to acomplish this year. im in my waiting period 1 per 30 days for state of va right now. so itl be a while for the next gun. i really want some more marlins but ive spent too much this year already so im thinking the only other thing this year will be a rimfire.

i found the basic model henry 22mag on gb for $350 plus shipping and the frontier seems to be $400-450


more feedback please. i didnt like anything i read about the plastic

I looked at Henry's after reading reports on here about them. I am totally unimpressed. I had the Frontier in my grubby little hands at Gander Mountain just recently, and it's just not a gun that I want. I suggest you go try one. You may find it's exactly what you want, but I did not. I certainly wouldn't buy one without trying it.

I looked at a couple of Henry's -- those things are HEAVY. There was a nice little Rossi pump for $229 in .22 Mag that caught my eye at the LGS - I liked it better than any other .22 Mag I looked at. The action was pretty slick, albeit dry, and the trigger was crisp and light. It was a light handy little rifle. Sure does get a person to thinking.

I wish I could find a Winchester '94 in .22 Mag to match my 9422 that I've had since I was a wee little pot-licker. After finding one, I would wish that I could afford it. : ;D For my third wish... ???
