Henry rifles
What is your experience with a Henry? I was checking one out at Gander Mt. the other day in 357 magnum and thought it was a pretty damn neat rifle.

Re: Henry rifles
I have a Henry in 45 Long Colt, its accurate for the round at 50 yards. But it fumbles a bit ejecting the last cartridge fired.
If you are looking for a closer resemblance to the original Henry Rifles check out the Uberti line.

Price wise though Henry from NY has the deal
The .22's in blue have aluminum receivers that are painted.Jack

Re: Henry rifles
I could never get past the outrageous prices they want for them for what they are, they shouldn't cost that much.

Re: Henry rifles
I like the co. and I think the .22s are neat and fairly priced.
But I guess in .357 I'd also be looking at a Marlin 1894C...

Re: Henry rifles
I got one of the .22s a few weeks ago, and it's my new favorite toy.
The problem is that lever guns are just expensive to manufacture compared to other actions. More moving parts and whatnot.
Having said that, the price tags on their handgun caliber rifles is a bit high.PREPARE FOR BATTLE

Re: Henry rifles
I've got the .22LR Golden Boy and the 44 Mag. Big Boy. Both are excellent rifles. They feel good in your hands, balance very well, and are accurate. In my opinion this is a fantastic rifle. If you get one you will like it.
Pricey? Yes they are. However, after firing a few rounds out of one some of the price sting goes away.

Re: Henry rifles shop around for price, but always
understand that pistol caliber lever guns are not cheap no matter who makes them.
But if you subscribe to the "foil hat notion" fretting over SHTF guns, a revolver and lever-gun in the same caliber makes a ton of sense in the "one caliber to stock doomsday scenario".

Re: Henry rifles
I own the Marlin lever gun in .357Mag/.38Spl. and the Henry .22 lever gun.
I love them both.
They are both great shooters, well made and accurate.
Having said that, I am currently in the market for a lever gun in .44Mag/44spl.
I will likely go with the the Marlin 1894.
You decide what's best for you.
Stay well.

Re: Henry rifles
I have a henry survival rifle and it works great. I had a problem with the butt cap at the end of the stock that holds the parts in the stock when the gun is broken down. It split and wouldn't stay on. I e-mailed henry and in two days I got a new one in the mail no questions asked.
