Can anyone recommend a good small caliber lever action rifle? Which LGS sells lever actions?

A buddy of mine just bought a henry small loop in 22lr. Very fun to shoot and reliable with any round nose ammo, doesn't seem to like HP's. He bought his at OGC, I believe Young Guns brings them in as well.

Sports Authority stocks Henrys at a pretty decent discount over the LGSs.  That being said, I bought my nicer-model Henry from KGS. Daniel always treats me right.

Might I suggest the Uberti 50-95 lever action rifle?

Was looking at a henry frontier yesterday at ogc.  Was very nice octangnal barrel and the forged in barrel sights.  Asking $409 if i recall.  Thr had the regular ones too in .22
If you go on gunbroker look for a marlin 39 or a Winchester


But what is small caliber to you?   They make .17 varmint to 45-70

I want an octagonal .22 model I prefer the simpler sights as well.

You cant go wrong with a Winchester 94 in .357. They're fun to shoot and would give you a reason to take up reloading.

I have the Henry Frontier.  I would recommend it over the cheaper one that used to go on sale at Sports Authority.  The Frontier has a longer octagonal barrel with a gold bead front sight.  I got mine from SEC awhile ago, but they did have to order it for me.  Shooting that rifle on the silhouette side makes for a fun, relaxing way to spend some time.  My 10 yr. old has started shooting it and said he likes shooting the Henry better than his M&P 15-22.

KGS, WGS both usually stock them.  Even odds at Young Guns.
