Henry Lever Actions in HMR

I have a Sako Quad in HMR and delighted with it.

In the hands of other shooters, it shoots, when still ( not windy) .5 MOA.

However, on occasions, I need to fire a number of shots at , for example, a number of rabbits who have scattered- fast- after the first has been hit.

The fact bolt action boys may be able to rechamber and fire asap, but so far , my speed is well behind that of the small game I'm aiming at.

It would seems common ground that levers do not enjoy a top reputation for accuracy, although I am quite happy with my Marlin 336 SS 30/30. In Australia, we still do not have the Hornady ammo yet.

Can anyone assist with comments on the Henry. There are, it seems, very few leverss chambered in .17HMR.

Thanks.
