What other types of rimfires rifles do you own or have handled? My experience is limited to a .22 and a air rifle (I don't know the brands).

Your Henry - is that the Varmint Express or a Golden Boy? Iron sights or scope? From what I hear, the Varmint is easier to add a scope, something low powered like a 3-9x. What do you shoot 17 gr V-Max or polytipped or the 20 gr? Presumably the polytip would have the least penetration but the most "splat" [for lack of a more technical term :)]
