I just bought one so I would have something to shoot the 3,000 .22 shorts I acquired a while back! All I have to say is, if this is what they consider their cheapo gun, their Cadillac rifles must be really something!
Who Has A Henry Rifle?
I don't own one but I've watched them and over the years they seem to be getting better and better. With Marlin at least temporarily out of the picture Henry seems to be trying to step up their game.
This thing is almost perfect!
The fit and finish is incredible!
You don't normally see this at this price point.

I have a Henry carbine, in 44 magnum, called the "Big Boy." Fit and finish are perfect, the standard wood is what some other makers would call "select". Brass receiver. Slick action. Nice blue.
If you ever have a problem, Henry will make it right.

Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.
I have the Henry 22 lever action great rifle, don’t need a scope with that thing.
I just shot mine with some CB caps that I found while looking for the shorts.
It cycles those little suckers just fine and is really accurate at short range.

I don’t own one, but IRA has had them from time to time. Real nice quality from what I saw. GARY.
Buddy of mine has the gold one in 22 and it is very smooth and very accurate I was shooting at 100 yards with it at a 4" plate.
I bought a side loading gate Henry in 30-30 in late 2019 but due to health issues, the covid panic & heart surgery, I haven't made it to the range with it yet. Like you said, the fit & finish is excellent & the action is incredibly smooth. To me, there just aren't many things more beautiful than that polished brass receiver & the American Walnut they use. Hopefully, she'll come out to play in a week or two.

I have on just like the one in the above picture.
I got it about 10 years ago for under $200 along with bunch of Minimag ammo from a local guy.
It's my son's favorite gun to shoot and everybody else who shoots it really enjoy it too. I've had dozens of offers to buy it from me but I always refused. Mine works great and has never malfunctioned (not counting bad ammo) and is accurate too. My son's idea of fun is to shoot empty 12G shells from 20 yards with iron sight and he hits them regularly.
It's a great gun and I can't ever see not having one.

You may not be of my flesh and blood, but you are of my heart and soul.
