I'd buy a Henry lever 22 mag because it's really the only thing goin, other than the hard to come by discontinued models. And while I don't think it competes with a 9422M, I might like it better for a usin rifle than the Marlin 22 magnum with it's fat 1894 receiver.

The Henry rimfires are slender and lightweight with a slick action. But with their cast receiver and sheet metal cover, along with a plastic part here and there, and the unusual finish on the wood and metal, I don't think they're in the same class of heirloom type rifles as many of the Marlin and Winchester lever actions. A regular Henry lever 22 couldn't replace my 39M.

Mostly I like the classy, solid, workman-like Marlin centerfire lever actions, along with the Winchester 92 which looks right handy. And like pete53, I'd rock a BLR. Old Winchesters are cool for collectors. Henry... if I won a raffle I surely wouldn't turn it down.
