Henry Rifles

[knockonit]

I have quite a few henrys, both lever and pump, along with the requisite marlins and winchesters, they are an addiction, much like garands, and m1 carbines, well any platform really, seems i go thru stages where i glam on to everything of one platform, and then the new shiney shows up and i'm off on a new adventure, some of the finishes on the new stuff is awesome, i still lean towards the old stuff, something about the patina, the possible story one can imagine from a 75 year old or older shooter, if only it could talk

How’s the fit and finish on the newer Henry’s ?

... They're gorgeous. I've the Big Boy chambered in .357/.38, Golden Boy and a 45/70 all brass

One of the first rifles I learned on was a henry .22. If I had the money I would order the new 1860 in 44-40.

Picked up a Henry .22 years ago for the kids to learn on, still my daughters favorite firearm to shoot and she is almost 20 now.

The Henrys have very smooth actions and are well built. I'd imagine they hold their value well.

Just bought a youth model .22 for my daughter. Seems like a fantastic little gun.

SpaghettiChesters (Uberti) is still making great quality reproduction's also. I bought the 1866 Uberti Yellowboy last fall in .38spcl. My only complaint is the inside of the reciever was god awful filthy, they must not have given it a final wash, lots of machining remnants, glad I decided to give it the once over before firing it for the first time. Its big and heavy, I got the sporting version with the 24" octagon barrel, great fun to shoot, especially knowing I'll never be able to afford the real deal. Have only fired one Henry in my lifetime, .357 cal. They are great rifles no doubt.

Good looking rifle.

I have the Henry Golden Boy 22. They are pricey but made in the USA and are very smooth.I have a Rossi and a couple of Marlins.The Henry is the best. Love mine.

I bought one for my son in 45-70 brass butt plate and it’s an awesome rifle. My son shoots 3” groups at 100yrds open sights. 15yr old kid likes to shoot old school no scope. We’re thinking about the skinner sights.
Triggers nice too!!

I have a Golden Boy in 22mag. It's almost too shiny to shoot.

[Ballistic Therapy]

I am not a big fan of them but they seem to be decent guns.
I would rather have an old Marlin than a new Henry though.

I recently got me a Henry Big Boy Steel in .41Mag, action is smooth with a short throw lever, so far I've just shot it for function and it did great, very happy with it.
Got it from grabagun.com, they've had some very good prices that no one else have been able to beat, this is my first Henry and I'm glad I bought it.

The first Henry I bought was the .45 LC and it is the best rifle I own! Even my piss poor eyesight friends can hit the orange at 100 yards with the Henry .45lc golden boy with iron sights! The "thwack" is incredible and worth the .55 cents per shot.

Since then I have invested in multiple 30-30, .357/.38 and .22 as an investment to resell when the time is right. I have a few for practice and showing off before I make a sale. Not a single issue compared to my Marlin or Remingtons.

Had a 22lr lever for a while. Never gave me any problems and i bought it secondhand. It's still running over 10 years after I gave it away. I got to shoot it in march this year.
Gave it to a buddy's father who wanted a 22 rifle but was living on S.S. and didn't have much cash.
