I think I'm going to need a new .22 soon. I've always loved lever actions and I think I'll be getting either the Winchester Ranger or one of the Henrys. Does anyone have a Winchester Ranger .22? How are they? What about the Henry?
Any info about either would be appreciated!!
Thanks!

Henry's are great I love mine very accurate and crisp

i have a henry. works fine

I bought a Henry 22mag and 22LR both in lever action I’m impressed with them and also have a Rossi 22LR lever action also like it

The obvious thing to do is buy both.I should not need to point this out.

All the henrys are good and good customer service, they are heavy though.

the Ranger is a Turkish made gun , made for Winchester.
where the Henry is USA , if you get a steel frame gun it is Rice Lake WI

Did not know that, good to know

even if it is assembled in NJ a lot of the parts come from Rice Lake WI

here is a video , this was the first time a camera was allowed in the plant for public veiwing

I've got the 22Mag and 22LR Henry. Both great guns. Well built, fun and accurate.

My 10/22 still sees the bulk of the work and shooting, both in the woods and plinking.

Ruger 10/22 is hard to beat.

I own a few ,lever actions .
Out of the Winchester, marlin and Henry.
The marlin is probably my favorite
But their all nice guns

I love lever actions for plinking. They look cool and are fun to shoot. But for trapping, a .22 with a removable magazine is so much more practical. When shooting just one shot and putting the gun away it's a pain to clear the action of a lever action each time.

I have two Henry's / .22 mag and .22 cal. both great shooting and accurate rifles, not to mention perty looking rifles. Got a 22 mag.cal. Stevens lever action. great shooting gun.Its probabaly near 40 yrs old. Uncle use to slay Ghogs with that ole lever action out beyond what I thought was out of range shooting for a 22 mag.

This may hurt some feelings, but I dont care where a product is made, I do care how well its made. Im not saying which one of those is made better, I personally dont know, but like many on here, I work hard for my money and I try to do my research to get the best product for my money...regardless of origin. Let the flaming begin....

browning 22 lever actions are amazing. i always wanted a henry but then i tried out a browning and the sights were better and more acurate and the action was wayyy crisper and the gun was built with more quality. they are about 2 to 300 more then a henry but brownings if taken care of good hold their value pretty well and might even go up in value compared to a 400 dollar henry

And?? What's that got to do with the man's question?

Henry octagon has threaded barrel with cap and you can get a suppressor for it later. Not to mention I'd buy ten of them before a Winchester. Not that theres anything wrong with Winchester I'm a Model 12 guy but thats just how much I think of Henry.

And?? Simple. Country of origin doesnt always speak to quality of product as what had possibly been inferred in a previous post.

Nephew bought a Henry .22 lever....had to order a taller front sight for it.

Shooting way too high
