Winchester vs. Henry?

[MyT.Hunter]

Henry is reportedly the least accurate of the big 3 (Winchester, Marlin, Henry). Did some extensive research 4-5 years ago and Henry lever actions came up short.

I preferred the Marlin (pre-Ruger). Now that Ruger is making the Marlin line they are a bit pricey.

They are “pricey” but have read a couple of reviews on the 45-70 and they are shooting sub 1” groups at 100 right out of the box with factory ammo.
My JM Marlin and my Remlin 45-70 as well as my Ruger No. 3 will come pretty close, but I have tailored the loads for them ( except the Remlin, just feed it a steady diet of 325 gr Leverevolution and it does about 1.5” at 100)
In other words, you are getting what you pay for.

My dad's 94 had a scope mounted that didn't interfere with the top eject. It mounted to the side of the receiver, with a 90 degree bend to a Weaver mount. Centered the scope over the receiver, but deflected the brass when it ejected. It worked well.

Looked a lot like this one I found online just now.

I have a ‘94, top eject, Centennial 66. I mounted a Burris scout scope using this mount… lock solid!

Everybody seems to expect 1960s pricing for everything these days. Not the world we live in anymore sadly.

My Henry 22 is dead nuts accurate.

JM Marlin 336 in 30-30 is too.

Lever actions are just cool ass guns. They’re fun to shoot, fun to look at, and there’s so much history surrounding them. They come in all kind of calibers, for all kind of game, or games.

Buy as many as you can afford, or, if you are a west Texas mongoose, get a Barrett .50.
