I passed up a 39 some 8 years ago and have regretted it. However, it is a full size rifle, which may not be a good thing for your son. The Browning is smaller, and the action is smooth. I run a 9422 and love it. I prefer it’s looks to the 39, with the straight stock and thinner forearm. A 39 Mountie, however, could tempt me.

I really like the look and feel of the 9422 but at one time my FIL had a 39A that he needed to sell to pay some bills. At the time (recession of '82) I didn't have a pot to piss in so I foolishly let it go for short money, along with several other rifles he was selling. My buddy has that rifle to this day so there is hope I may see it in my safe again some day- I hope.... They are heavy rifles but hell for stout, smooth as a Singer sewing machine, and accurate as any other lever I've ever shot. Just one of many I wish I hadn't let go...

Careful Larry, people will think you like blued and walnut rifles.....  those are beauties. The one I sold looked like the bottom one, but had a few extra holes in the receiver as did almost all of his guns.... Bob
