If I had the cash Id Skip henry And browning and get a Marlin 39A. Shooting That rifle was just amazing! breaking it down showed just how simple and heavy duty it is AND the barrel is a 30-30 barrel milled out for 22 instead. Its one of them firearms that would be passed down for generations with little wear or tear on it.

EDIT
Hmmm Cant find info on the barrel but i was informed By a few people at the store and gunshow the barrel is pretty much a 30-30 milled for 22 ither way its much thicker then other 22 barrels i have seen.
