Henry Rifles

riverrat66 · May 3, 2016

I've seen the new henry lever action rifles. I would really like one chambered in 44 mag. What is the expert opinion of these rifles in general? Are they accurate and dependable? I've had a marlin 35 cal for 40 years and love that gun. Taken many deer under 150 yards. Is the henry comparable to the marlin?

Love the small bore rifles.. have one in 22.
I think they are pretty good and 44 mag is a great choice, just remember its still a pistol caliber in a rifle .. so it will not be doing what I rifle caliber does in speed or damage..

I've been looking for the .41 Magnum.

I also have a Henry .22 lever.
Dropped it and broke the front sight.
Emailed the company about purchasing a replacement and the owner of the company replied in a few hours.
Sent me a new sight for free- and it arrived on my doorstep thw next day.
Great rifle, impressive customer service.
Don't think you can go wrong with a Henry rifle.

They are crazy fun! I bought my son a youth model 22lr. I think I have more fun with it than he does. Crazy accurate as well. I want to add many more to the collection, but you just never see them used and I rarely buy new guns.

Looked at several, workmanship seems top notch and very smooth action. It's noticeable especially when comparing other brand lever action rifles side by side.

My nephew just bought one for Christmas. It looks good and is accurate. The only thing I don't like is the tube magazine. I have a Marlin 1894 Cowboy in 45 Colt. It is also very accurate and load through a gate in the side of the receiver, which is more traditional. Henry or Marlin, you really can't make a bad choice wit either one. It boils down to what you can afford to spend and what your personal preference is.

I have the "Golden Boy" in 44 Mag. and another in 22 cal. I kept the 44 mag and gave the 22 to my son to pass down to my grandson as he grows old enough. I am not a very good marksman so either is more accurate than I. But both are fun to shoot and do so smoothly and accurately according to my son.

The golden boy 22 was my first 22 rifle. It has taken countless squirrels, rabbits and cans with open sights over the years. I'd always wanted and finally bought the Big Boy 45 LC last year. It's a blast to shoot. Got it in WY while I was up there on a prairie dog hunt, and it was responsible for several kills from 5 to 80 yards with irons. I'm a big fan of Henry rifles.

I have a henry is 22 and a Rossi in 38/357. There is no comparison in the fit and finish and action. The henry is nicer looking, has a higher grade wood, and the action is 10x smoother than the Rossi. If I had it to do all over again I'd save up the extra few hundred $$$ and buy the henry 38/357.
