RE: Henry rifles
The Marlin 39is a great choice and I'll have one one day, made circa 1967,but I dread that day coming like no other day. It'll be the day my dad is gone.....
My son has a Henry .22 youth model and I can't say I wouldn't want the exact same rifle for myself as a short, lightweight, easy packing camp rifle....though I'd sooner have it chambered in .22mag for my purposes.
I am envious none the less.
My son's rifle is scoped with a little 4X Bushnell and it shoots and functions well enough to need stock in an ammo company......
