I looked at a used pump Henry a couple weeks back and it pumped easy and locked up solid when closed. I have always heard about how stiff they are to work but this one wasn't. I should have bought it for the $225 price they were asking for it but didn't want another rifle chambered for 22 Magnum. I really would like to have a Remington Model 12 or 121.

I will be keeping the Rossi, no doubt. It will be passed on down the family line eventually.

NO-NO, keep the Rossi and just find a Henry.

You’ll be kicking yourself for getting rid of that neat little Winchester 62 copy.

Good to hear; that Rossi pump is a gem.

That was kinda my point if I could do a do over and the rifles at the time had been side-by-side. The Rossi pump I have is a sweet .22 and I wouldn't trade it for a Henry. But, if I needed/wanted another .22 it would be a Henry lever.

I guess I like Lever actions the most as I have three levers and only one pump.

My next three will be a Marlin Mountie, Browning BL22 and Henry Frontier H001-T.

The only Pump I want badly is a Winchester model-61.

I have a Henry pump I love it. Going to get a lever next. The pump is a LR going for a MAG in the lever. The Henry’s do reproduce. The Varmint express in .17 HMR looks interesting
