I have owned the Bl-22, 3 9422's , one model 39TDS, and a Winchester model 250. Except for the Winny 250, they were all good, but my preference is the BL-22 for looks, overall fit & finish and handling. The short throw lever is very nice as well. The Henry I handled was slick and I am sure will work fine, but I wouldn't hand down a gun with plastic internals.
