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

[Sir Henry]

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.

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

The berm is higher than I can hit a tin can flying at the range I use. But I’ve been to ranges where I couldn’t.

1. It is proudly made in the USA!
2. The overall quality is second to none.
3. It doesn’t have a loading gate like a Marlin
4. When I take it to the range everybody takes notice and asks about it. Even the AR-15 guys.
5. It is cheap and easy to reload.
6. Hands down it is more fun to shoot than any other rifle or handgun I own. I would even say it’s pretty close to trap doubles, sporting clays and 5-stand.

3. It doesn’t have a loading gate like a Marlin

Or a Winchester.
The loading gate (or lack of) is always going to be a 'charged' issue with some.
That the Henry does NOT have one is not necessarily good or bad, right or wrong but I have mentioned before there ARE some definite advantages to the tube feed with shorter, HANDGUN ammo - but I still believe a loading gate is more advantageous for longer, rifle rounds.

No I just like to multi task and shoot cows over in the next county. Really insulting comment.

[Shawlerbrook]

Agree on USA, customer service, quality, etc., but also the fact that they are constantly putting out new products and listen to their customers. IMHO the H001 is the best deal around in new leverguns.

[Sir Henry]

I own the Henry forum along with Dave.

[markiver54]

Good reason!

Henry is the only lever rifles I've ever owned but I like them better than the semi-auto's I've owned from two other manufacturers.
My top reasons:
American made with real walnut stocks
Lifetime guarantee
Very smooth action, especially the .22's
Customer service is excellent (my experience)

He’s in South Florida and you are in Orygun, so I figure you’re safe!

No disrespect meant Mugs! I don’t think MisterEd meant his comment to be an attack on you. One of the things I like most about my Henrys is the group of people it brought to this forum. That and the looks, endless model options, smooth as silk action, accuracy, customer service...

[If1Hitu]

I love the strong built Henry has.

[Henry88]

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.

Yeah, the first part is kind of easy, just leave an inch of "fluid" in the can and shoot it 1/2 inch from the bottom, will go as high as 15 feet

Second part, hitting it at the apex, I can't practice

The Quality is Amazing! Quality in every way.
My Henry is my favorite firearm.

Personally find The New Original Henry a more compelling reproduction of the Henry rifle.

I am impressed with the quality and workmanship of the Henry Products, as well as the commitment to great Customer Service I had been looking at Henry rifles off and on for several years and finally picked up a .22 for the wife......was so impressed I picked up a Long Ranger 308 and another .22 for the wife......I think we both have the Henry Bug......LOL

[Mags]

I also am impressed with the OVERALL quality, workmanship and customer service of Henry Products.
However, I am not impressed with their new out of the box reliability/usability.

Not sure what has been happening to you but I am 3 for 3 with good shooters out of the box.

I used to own a Norinco lever action but when I attended a shooting match and one of the other competitors let me try his Henry Golden Boy, I was hooked and went to the gunshop and sold the Norinco and bought a Henry Small Game rifle. Next month, I will attend the first match with my Henry. Looking forward to it.

I think I've been one of those Aoromatheripist all these years, but back then we didn't have no word for it.......

I'm happy to read that you got good ones . Unfortunately, there are plenty of posts on our forum here where new out-of-the-box Henry's were sent back for repair/replacement. I have 2 Henrys, both should have gone back for repair. My .30-30 should have gone back for the upgrade repairs for the mag tube and lever popping open during loading issues. But, decided I could live with those problems. My Long Ranger bolt would lockup/jamup solid and for that it was sent in for repair. It still randomly chokes on a cockeyed round in the receiver regardless of how authoritative the lever is exercised. Also the lift plate in the magazine comes up too high into the receiver and the bolt drags across the top of it producing gouges and metal shavings. The new magazine Henry CS sent me is no better height wise, but the lift plate is plastic so I don't get the metal shaving. Anyway, there's my rationale for poor new out-of-the-box reliability/usability.
