I have collected, shot and hunted with .22 rifles and handguns for close to fifty years. I have owned most of the quality .22 rifles including pumps, bolt actions, semi-autos and levers. I agree, 39s are quality rifles, I've owned two, probably shot ten others. I prefer the 9422. If I ever buy another, it will be a model 57. Having said all that, I believe a Henry will run just fine for thousands of rounds. My life long hunting and fishing partner has owned one of the Henrys for years. I'm sure he has gone through 15 or 20 bricks of long rifle ammo, maybe more and he has never had a problem. I owned almost 100 .22s at one time, so I've really seen the value of many models go sky high. I have a model 250 Winchester that looks like new.
