Well...... I did it!

I went and put a handle on my Henry 22mag, just couldnt live with the little gun with iron sights,much to much for my neck. I guess I might as well put a sling on it now

Too much for your neck??? Please elaborate, that makes no sense to my pea brain.
As for a sling, I've slung several lever guns. No problem.

I have neck problems, the angle and head position for such a small framed rifle just puts me into painful siuation. This would keep me from shooting the gun, soooooooooooo the scope, strraight 4x works out in this case. Next lever will have stock to fit my body and shooting style, all my rifles have glass and one shot gun does also, I want tp get back to shootin iron sights.
Marlin seems to be a much larger framed lever, true?

Ahhhhh, now I understand about the neck.

Don't matter how you have them decked out.....Whatever works......Why, I've heard that some people have to buy a stinky old Winchester to shoot proper

Similar problem with some guns. Depends on the stock configuration. I recently selected a 22 mag based on that. Here is the answer, in this x ray you will see spurring, disc narrowing, change in the curve in the neck. Evidence of a misspent youth. Motorcycle in a ditch, car into a tree, college football neck injury and some other incidences. Many of you ruffians have the same conditions. I have taken over 30,000 of these x rays on a few thousand patients over 30 years. Head position and recoil have a significant affect on many. You have to deal with the situation you have. Scopes help me because they keep the head up. More drop in the stock is a help. Those who don't have the problems often cannot relate. Traded a Kimber rifle I won for an old savage because I couldn't adapt to it's configuration. In the right configuration a can handle a lot of recoil but even getting down on some jams the joints.

The neck problem keeps me from shooting my heavy rifles anymore, comes from years of abuse and welding helmets.Refuse to let saw bones cut me, just dont do it if it hurts:)
I have to work on most rifles I have one way or the other. I just love levers now and the Henry will fit fine when I get through with the mods. I will post pics when done, if I can figure it out.
