I have shot some decent-to-great Rossi rifles, and I have shot some real stinkers. Honestly, if I were you, I would just buy a Marlin and be done with it. They hold their value pretty well, and I honestly think they are better than the later model 94's by a pretty wide margin. I have a Marlin 39A .22 rifle that is great, and I would recommend that rifle to anyone. If your specifically looking for a .22, the Henry isn't bad. My Dad thinks the Henry .22's have the smoothest action of any lever .22, and it is nice, but I think my Marlin is just as nice, if not nicer.
