Every rifle here is a lever action, the classic brush gun for deer at woods ranges. The main choice is barrel length: short 16-inch trapper models handle fast in thick cover, while 20-inch and longer barrels give more velocity and sight radius. Also compare how it loads, since the Henry Side Gate adds a side gate to its tube magazine, and whether the receiver takes a scope.
