.....any of you guys have a "love affair" with henry rifles???.....finally bought one, the standard .22(H001), and i've fallen in love with it!!!(haven't fired it yet-can't find any ammo), the fit and finish is outstanding, as well as the smoothness of the action!!, a great american-made rifle!!!.... ....also got a catalog, and i didn't realize they were making a reproduction of the original henry(H011) in .44-40 caliber!!!...one of these has to go on my bucket list!!!!!!...... ...........

Re: henry rifles
My two best friends gave me a Henry Golden Boy in .17 HMR with a custom receiver for my 65th birthday. Love it. Love it. Love it. There's no way to tell you how proud I am of this rifle.

Re: henry rifles
Ray, the two guys that gave that rifle to me are worth what ever I would have to trade for 'em and more and it's not because of the rifle. If you had a pair of friends like that, you would be wealthy beyond reason. I am so lucky, it's insane.Paladin wrote:Whoa, Jerry! That is stronger than an acre of onions!

Re: henry rifles
I had one just like yours for a short time. I traded a used Ruger 10-22 with a scope and $50 at my lgs to it. After shooting the Henry I thought I ought to go back and apologize for beating out of a good gun!
For the time I had it it was great, and pretty darn accurate too. I would have it still, but a feller offered me a straight up trade on a 1958 Browning A5 Light Twelve, and I would have it still but I traded it at my lgs for a minty fresh 1962 Marlin 336 SC in .35 Remington. The Marlin isn't going anywhere.
Whew, this is an addiction.
Jerry that Henry of yours is priceless! Good on ya and your two buddies.

Wow Jerry!
