I've had the bug for some time now but am close to pulling the trigger (no pun intended) on what looks to be a fun and reliable shooter. I already have a Henry varmint express .17 HMR but I'm thinking I'd rather have the full range of .22 caliber rounds at my disposal over the .17 HMR. Aesthetically, I prefer the older models with smooth stocks over the newer checkered stocks but I wonder if it's worth the difference in price. Are the older rifles better overall as a rule and what should I expect to pay for a nice shooter? What do Y'all think? Is the Marlin worth dumping the Henry?
