Looks like they all trying to squeeze in new lever guns.

Looks similar to the Henry other than it's a takedown.

Specs say Grade 1 wood, does that imply that nicer versions might be offered? I do like the takedown feature a lot.

Re: And... Winchester introduces a new 22lr.
Yeah, I'm a bit surprised at all the new lever guns, too.
The Ranger series has usually been Winchester's budget grade line so I have my doubts as to seeing higher grades, but who knows? At that price, though, pretty sure it is NOT being made by Miroku. The Browning BL-22 Grade I, the plane Jane version, is made by Miroku and it costs twice that price.
At the Rangers price point, I think Henry is going to have some competition.

What NCG said. Looking at the specs, the Ranger is impressive, especially at that price point[MSRP].
Street price, I'm sure will be better. And, its 2 lb lighter than my 39A!!!!!

If Miroku is not making it, I'm wondering who is?North Country Gal wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 11:36 amAt that price, though, pretty sure it is NOT being made by Miroku.

Re: And... Winchester introduces a new 22lr.
Just a guess at this point, but Chiappa makes a roughly similar 22 lever gun at the same price point. Huglu (Turkey) might be another possibility. Could be Miroku if they contracted it outside of Japan, say Malaysia or the Philippines. Be awfully cheap for Japanese manufacturing, though. If it is Miroku, Japan, it would have to be stamped Japan somewhere by Japanese law. Time will tell.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 7:16 pmIf Miroku is not making it, I'm wondering who is?North Country Gal wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2024 11:36 amAt that price, though, pretty sure it is NOT being made by Miroku.

Take down or not - I would still choose an American made Henry H001 any day.
