Rimfire magnum plus a lever is a good pairing for varmint hunting. The Henry H1 Western Frontier is chambered in .22 WMR, with a 20 inch blued barrel. The 20 inch length is classic, long enough for decent velocity and short enough to carry.

The .22 Magnum has more reach than .22 LR and more energy on target. It's good for coyotes, foxes and similar game inside a hundred yards. Recoil is mild and the report is not as loud as a centerfire. Ranchers who want to protect their chickens find it convenient.

The lever is smooth and the rifle is balanced, which helps you shoot offhand. A scope mounts easily if you plan longer shots. The Frontier name gives it a traditional look.

Rimfire magnum ammunition costs more than .22 LR, but it's cheaper than most centerfire rounds. Practice with a few boxes before you take it into the field.

The price is a little over eight hundred dollars. The listing is new. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
