Are pumps .22 as fun as lever .22?

[Joe.45]

To my dear friends who are proud owners of the Henry H00T3 pump .22.
Since I’m eyeing one of these puppies I would like your opinion. I understand the reliability and the consistency of the very short stroke pump, but are they as FUN as their lever cousins.
Believe it or not, FUN, is a big issue for me. As a matter of fact when people ask me why I have so many levers instead of “more accurate” and lower maintenance bolt action rifles my answer is simple. Because of the FUN factor!

Well you still load them up and shoot or pump all day! I have one of them and yes they are fun.

[Sir Henry]

Yes they are as much fun as a lever. Especially for us lefties. I think a pump-action Mare’s Leg would be the cat’s meow.

My Henry pump is even more fun since I got a Speed D Loader for it. Now I spend less time loading and more time shooting.

Ive sold quite a few guns. But the pump has made the cut and will not be sold. Always enjoy it when I shoot it.

Love the Henry pump especially with a Spee D loader

All my Henrys are making the cut.

That’s a very good point! I’ve never thought about that since I’m a righty.

45-70’s 2 of those. Would those make your cut

One might just to be a wall hanger.
