Looks like the All Weather Henry.

[Vaquero]

Looks like another Marlin 336 clone,
Only thing that looks Henry is the removable mag tube.
Has the same cross bolt safety as the 336 also.
I added some info in Al's thread on this same rifle, about where it originated.

Hum, they need to step up QC on what they are already making first in MHO.
Seems as of late all the newer ones are getting sent back more than being serviceable.

Probably the 360 Buckhammer in their single shot and a brass levergun version of the 360. Once again I dont understand the concentration on the straight wall caliber guns for the states with that type of restriction. They must sell more than I think they do in those states. I know a 38-55 in a SS would generate a bunch of sales. I would buy one for sure. It would be fun to have one for black powder.

I wonder if the new Winchester is made by Miroku in Japan! If it is, then it’s gonna be true quality. I have a Henry Goldenboy, Bigboy, 1894 Marlin, and an 1892 Winchester made by Miroku, while all of them are really nice leeeever guns, the Miroku made Winchester is a cut above them all, the craftsman ship is amazingly good!

I love Miroku made guns, too, but very unlikely the new Winchester is a Miroku at that suggested retail of $419. Will probably sell for even less, street price. Just guessing at this point, of course.

Winchester "ranger" is made in Turkey........Where their pump shotgun is made.

I'd say that Henry is making waves in the industry.
I also thought that the Smith and Wesson reminded me of the all weather. Winchester's new entry reminds me of the H001.
I think Henry is making others look for a slice of the pie that Henry enjoys now.

[North Country Gal]

I agree, Dave. Lever guns remain very popular. Back when Marlin went under and was bought out by Remington, I had my doubts about the future of lever guns, but I was obviously wrong, there. Now we're even seeing tactical lever guns, so that's a sure sign younger shooters have accepted them, too. No, I won't be buying a tactical lever gun, but it's a good sign that lever guns will be around for a long time.

Yes, Henry gets credit for showing there's still a market for lever guns and the fact that they've done it with lever guns still made in the U.S. is all the more remarkable.

I agree with NCG. Henry should get a lot of credit with keeping the lever action market going. And recently, Ruger also.
Henry got my interest a few years ago as Winchester's were way over priced and the Marlin's [newer] seemed to have a lot of issues.
Henry had what I wanted, .357/38 spl and .45 Colt at very reasonable prices with availability. Bingo! Haven't had any problems with those two, so Henry is what I went with and I'm glad I did. Having typed all that; I do indeed like my Win Ranger 30-30 and Marlin 39A. How about that!?
