Henry hands down
Never any problems with my Henry.
Henry hands down
A nightmare to take apart and put back together. and the triggers are horrible on all Bl22's, but they are still a good gun, in a scary kind of way.................Too bad all the good lever guns are from our grandparents generation. They got all the highest quality firearms like the Old model 70 Winchesters, and decent heirloom quality lever guns. The Golden Boy is plated, and not in the same league.Sort of. Unless one has to be disassembled and worked on.
Might not be the answer you're looking for, but I picked up one of those Rossi Rio Bravo lever action .22's a few months ago once I found out about them. I loved the idea of a .22 lever action but I dislike the cowboy esthetic and usually dislike basic iron sights, but they have a synthetic stock model with fiber optic sights for something like $400 and boy is it ever fun.
I've owned the Marlin 39A & Win 9422. Both shot well, but the quality of build & finish of the Winchesters is much better. The 9422 handles & carries better than the Marlin as well fer me.

Dang, i missed your post. Is the receiver really all steel? Feeding and ejecting reliably?
There is the Henry and the Browning BL22, but is there anything else available for sale in Canada now? What is the absolute best 22 lever money can buy? THANKS
I am curious what sight you have mounted on your Winchester 9422? Does it mount in the factory slots? How do you like it?
I m thinking on getting the bl22 micro Midas and puttingmarbles bullseye sight on it.Should make for a compact fast shooter with its 16 inch barrel
I think it's a zinc alloy. No issues on my end.
