I know, I know, use the search function, but this little rifle doesn't get talked about much, and I also wanted THRs' opinions about the trade I a making to get this rifle. I've decided that I want a lever action 22. I have been on a real rimfire kick recently. As a matter of fact, four of the five guns I have bought recently have been rimfires. Guess it's because I am a broke college student and that is all I can afford to shoot.
I've looked at the competition, the Marlin 39A, the Browning BLR 22, and the Winchester 94/22, and all of them are out of my price/trading range. I had my local dealer tell me today that he can get me an even trade on a brand new Henry H001 for an SKS that I never shoot. Am I crazy for making the trade. I know the guy quite well, and I know he won't make much more on the SKS then he would the Henry.
I know I am taking a slight loss because he quoted me a $225 price tag on the Henry and I bought the SKS from him for $230. I never shoot the SKS though and haven't warmed up to it. Would anybody else make this trade? How does the Henry stack up to it's competitors in the accuracy department? Thanks in advance guys.
