I have a .22 Goldenboy, the action and stock are way better than my Marlin 39A and it is very accurate. I sent an email to the company regarding the receiver material and got an answer back from the owner, Anthony Imperato on a Sunday morning. It was the kind of email you would get from a friend, and I was shocked. That said, I wanted and needed a Winchester 92 in .44 Magnum and bought one. I would recommend a Henry Rifle, the wood is usually very nice and the ARE American made.
