Henry Rifles
Firstorm Chris:
I've got a Henry Big Boy in .45 Long Colt. I really like it and I think Henry makes all around terrific rifles. Anybody else a Henry fan?
Thumb Buster:
Mine is a Frontier .22 LR. Something about an octagonal barrel that just appeals to me. The action, looks, workmanship and the being made solely in the USA appeals to me. I really enjoy the rifle.
Jake C:
I can't speak to the rifle's qualities. I've heard mixed review on them, but if you like it, then good for you. I genuinely hope it gives you good service.
I personally don't like the Henry company's advertising practices of trying to sound like they've got some kind of connection to the historical Henry Repeating Arms Company. Granted, that's purely me and my opinion.
Advertising:
Daniel Dodge:
two words.....
LOADING GATE
Good Troy:
I started CAS with one in 45 Colt for a couple of seasons, and I had no issues with the function of the rifle. It was very affordable, and the action was smoother to me than the Rossi '92's I handled.
After a couple of years I decided to move toward being more authentic and shoot black powder, so I now use a Winchester '73 copy in 44-40.
I sold the Henry, but only to generate some cash, not out of dissatifaction. I will make this comment though: If you are a speed demon on the rifle, you may find a speed limit on the Henry. And, to my knowledge there is no short-stroke kit available for them. I'm NOT a fast shooter by any means....so it didn't limit me, and it met my wants and needs for starting out.
