[QUOTE="Trooper1, post: 2267999, member: 115799"] I might have missed it, but are these for their first rifle? Are you starting out with a .22 or center fire? Is the lever for the coolness factor? What is the purpose/primary use for the rifle? A Marlin 336 in 30/30 was my first centerfire rifle, and I still have it. Plastic buttplate, and recoil was a little stiff. And not the best choice for the hunting I was going to do. A friend loaned me a .243 model 70, and I never hunted with the 30/30 again. Much less recoil when I was young, and made me a better shot. I still shoot the Marlin on occasion, and it would be hard to beat for a close woods deer gun. But the .22’s in a lever would be fun…and I keep looking at the Henry from time to time. One of these days I may just ‘‘pull the trigger”! [/QUOTE]
