I've not had any dealings with the .17, but I do have a .22 that you'd have to kill me to get hold of.

Accuracy is excellent with sub 1" 50yd groups being perfectly normal. My only complaint and it isn't a real complaint, more a small gripe, the paint of the receiver lasted about 5 minutes before it started to chip. I carry my .22 constantly around the farm here & it's accounted for God-only-knows how many possums, rats, skwerls, coons & other potential chicken killers.

I shoot open sights & I found that removing the hood over the foresight made this a whole lot nicer. I did have a little 2-7x20 scope on there, but at the ranges I shoot I get more benefit from open sights. I know I can reach it out there & zap pop can sized targets at 100yds if needed, but it takes me a couple of shots to get on target. At 50 yds and under it's an absolute tack-driver.

The action is as smooth as oiled glass, although the trigger is a little creepy. However it isn't & isn't designed to be, a precision target rifle. I've never had any kind of failure at all in well over 5000 rounds (probably nearer 10,000 if I really thought about it) It's my go-to plinking, small game, clay-poppin', can-blastin', golfball-rollin', chicken savin' rifle & if & when it breaks or wears out, I'll buy another exactly the same without a second's thought or hesitation.

I just bought a Golden Boy 22 and they are amazing rifles. It's the best lever action gun I've ever shot.

I would get the Frontier model H001TV since it comes with an octagon barrel. Also lots guys strip the the black paint off and polish the silver to look more like the Golden Boy.

If I could find a steel barrel band, that's exactly what I'd like to do! I could paint the plastic, standard band, but I'd rather get hold of a metal one if I can.

Look at the last post. He has a silver Frontier next to a brass Golden Boy.

If you email Henry Repeating the CEO will reply back to you. Ask him to buy the metal barrel band and he will ship it to you for free from what I hear. They have also switched to metal front sights too. Their customer service is amazing.
