[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 2267767, member: 110518"] As a hunter trappee safety instructor I don't care for lever actions as a child's first rifle simply for the fact of accidental discharges during loading and unloading. Even the newer models with crossbolt safeties. Now on the flip side, also wanteda lever action and when I went with my dad to get my first rifle I wanted an 88 in the worse way but my dad insisted on a 760. Both good rifles but the 760 was not what I wanted. I really didn't like itbut outof respect and appreciation I used it until I could afford to buy what I wanted. No matter what you choose, the Marlin or the Henry you boys will be happy. I do like my Marlins but I like the tube feed of the Henry as easier to load. [/QUOTE]
