Features 

The Mare's Leg format - shortened lever-action carbine - is a genuine piece of Western iconography. Henry's version in .22 Magnum is well-made, with the walnut and blued steel look you'd expect from the company. The 12.8-inch barrel keeps it compact and the .22 WMR delivers more velocity and range than standard .22 LR, which makes it useful for small game or pest control work. The adjustable rear sight allows you to zero for your load. At 4.5 lbs. it's light enough to carry all day.

The Mare's Leg in .22 Magnum is seen as a specialty piece - part fun range gun, part practical small-game sidearm. The lever action and retro Western look generate genuine enthusiasm; owners frequently talk about how it handles and how many questions it draws at the range.

Accuracy at typical plinking and small-game distances is consistently rated well, and Henry's build quality reputation carries over to this model. The .22 Magnum caliber is practical enough for rabbits and squirrels at reasonable distances.

Some owners note the lever-action mechanics take practice to run smoothly under pressure, and capacity is lower than traditional handguns. Price sits above standard .22 handguns, which some buyers debate, though most who want this specific type of gun find it worth it. The overall sentiment is positive among buyers who went in knowing what they were getting.
