This.

I compared my Model 39 with my Henry straight up in an accuracy/reliablity contest. The Marlin ended up sucking hind teat so I promptly, and happily, dumped it.

I'm rapidly growing weary of listening to people trash Henrys because of the Model 39's perceived "coolness." A product, be it a rifle, a fly swat, a mouse trap, or a submarine, is "cool" only if it consistently works...my Model 39 didn't, so it hit the road.


Every rifle's different but considering it age and use my 39's craftsmanship is definitely a cut above my Henry's but that's not to say the Henry is junk either because it isn't. It's a well built rifle at a fair price.
As far as accuracy goes, the 39's the most accurate 22LR I've ever owned and the Henry's the most accurate 22WMR I've ever owned so I like em both for what they are. I will have to agree though, that the 9422/M39 snobs's sthick gets old.
