i have a marlin 39a, great little gun shoots anything you want to feed it, i have also heard the henry is pretty decent, BTW on the browning, never shot the little lever, they feel great but after having a blr (and the horrible trigger)i shyed away from it, they do feel good though, i now have 3 lever guns an old marlin in what else 30-30, the two newer ones are a 22 and the newest a 1894 in 41mag
