I like the fact that they don't have a loading gate ....

For me, as someone who has watched as many westerns as anyone, it will most likely remain my only lever gun. I buy few guns, and there are still a few out there I want so another rimfire rifle, or centerfire lever gun is way down on the list.

A Henry lever-action is the first rifle I've owned. And I never have owned a rifle from another company, although I've shot some other-than-Henry rifles my son-in-law has. I'd agree with most "like" comments already made here about Henrys.
My .22LR SCG stays with me for the rest of its days!

Mostly though, I love the Henry wood --- finish, grains, color, fit, and checkering. Wood is good. :D

What I like about lever guns is the challenge to shoot them really well. And I'm not talking about just punching paper. I like to shoot them at reactive targets while I am moving and then re-engaging those targets while they are still moving. Shooting nirvana when you attain that level. An example would be hitting a can just right so that it flies up into the air and then hitting it again while it is still in motion in the air. I may start hunting birds with mine. ;)

I hope Your backstop is higher than the can is flying.
