been debating between the ruger 10/22 or henry .22lr lever. both are great guns. I love to dirt shoot and plink so this will be the main purpose of the little rifle. maybe a little squirrel gun too. all of my friends have a 10/22 already and i have plenty of semi auto firearms. I'm leaning more towards the henry cause i don't have one and it would go great in my collection. my younger brother has one and i really liked it. until i saw the price i've been wanting one since. it's a tough one cause i want them both but still saving money for school this fall. I know if i get the ruger i'll just spend more money on parts like a dress up kit and extra extended mags. i really love the fit and finish on the henry.
