The #1 Thing You Like About Your Henry Over Other Rifles You Have Owned.

There are others but for for ME it's the positive lever detent lockup upon closing. This was a MAJOR improvement over other lever action rifles.

love the shiny brass receiver octagon barrel and the impressive muzzle blast from the venerable 44 mag.

I like the loading - and unloading - of the magazine tube of Henry center fire lever actions, over having to run rounds through the actions of the "traditional" Marlins and Winchesters. Digging 45-70 rounds out of the snow when unloading it, is mostly what sent my Marlin down the road ;) . And I like that the Henry's don't have the redundant crossbolt safety that of both the Marlin and a Model 94 Winchester I still have do, but I'm not bothered all that much by it. Not to mention the almost fancy grade of Walnut my Henry rifles have :) .

Rounds seem to cycle smoother through it than my Marlin.

I can modify an H001 without destroying its valve. I can’t do that to a 39 or 9422.
