That's gonna come down to personal preference. Besides being 22s, they are pretty different. Can't go wrong with either.

I cannot imagine choosing between those two. So different. If you want fun to shoot plus hunting and accessories, the 10/22 wins. If you just like the idea of a lever, the Henry.

Do like me and buy both.

I don't have a lever action .22 but do have a 10/22 and love it. I put a new barrel and new stock on mine. I'll eventually replace that barrel and get a new trigger and possibly new bolt.

I have a Henry lever action and a Winchester lever action. I like the Winchester much better. I also have a tricked out 10/22 with aftermarket barrel, stock, trigger, etc. like I said, can't go wrong with either.

Thanks fellas. I know theyre very different. I like the henry because of the simple and old lever action design. but i also like the 10/22 because of the custom options and its practicality. They both seem like awesome guns tho. Thanks again.

Put your hands on a Winchester before buying that Henry.

I have both. My 1022 is a better shooting gun but the Henry is better looking.
For the money I say go with the Ruger.

Like everyone else said, they're way different guns. The 10/22 is probably a little better made, but the Henry can shoot shorts and any of those other goofy .22 loads.
The 10/22 wins for gun customization, the Henry wins for ammo flexibility.

Henry golden boy is just a beautiful gun something that I can see as being handed down from generation to generation.
I have a 10/22 but are really a dime a dozen I have a couple and they are great guns. There really isn't a bad choice here.
Also the Henry 22 mag pump is a slick little gun as well

Don't limit yourself to just Ruger and Henry. There are plenty of other great .22s. The 10/22 is one of the cheapest stock guns on the market. Browning makes some of the best semi auto, bolt and lever action .22s.

This about nails it.
The aftermarket for 10/22s is huge.
The Henry Golden Boy is a work of art. If I were to get a lever 22 (who am I kidding, I will one day) it would be a Henry. They're just beautiful and I like the history behind them.
Check out this video of Hickok45 shooting 22 shorts out of the Golden Boy. It sounds like a cap gun.

.22 shorts used to be impossible to get when them red breasted contraband birds started showing up

Browning has the prettiest stocks, but they cost.

Buddy of mine had one when we were growing up. Good little guns.
