I have a Henry lever 22, and a Chapparal 1873/357. I have not handled the chapparal 22 but if the wood is the same as on my 357 I would give my vote to the Henry. The wood on my chapapral feels like the cheap wood stock that came on my Norc M14. The Henry has a nice smooth finish, very accurate with open sights, I could live without the painted reciever on it though. Both very close in price, Henry does make some nicer fancier ones with octagon bbls which are very nice, but more $.
