Golden Boy opinions

I've wanted a lever gun for some time now. Since I'd just use it for plinking, it occured to me, why not get something inexpensive to buy/shoot? Plus the GB really looks cool.
Anybody have one or shoot one? Thanks in advance for the input.

I like mine.

The receiver is an aluminum alloy Henry calls Brasslite. The lever and insides are steel. The butt plate is real brass. I keep mine waxed with Johnsons. The long octagonal barrel is very accurate and is a beautiful deep blue. Also, the ability to feed any length .22 cartridge is a big plus.

It is a real eye-catcher at the range, especially since I put on a (very) glossy tung oil finish.

I've never had any trouble with mine and wouldn't part with it.
