The Henry Rifle

As a gunsmith, I've seen many firearms come into production with great fanfare and an overblown price, only to be discontinued down the line, because the gun buying public catches on to gimmicks quickly. Even the best advertising can't continually sell a gun that just doesn't deliver. Gun buyers want accuracy at a price they can afford. If the gun happens to come with a free dose of nostalgia, so much the better. Here's where Henry Repeating Arms comes to the party!

Most gun guys around my age have a soft spot in the old ticker for lever action .22 rifles. We grew up with cowboys on TV and in the movies, entranced by the blazing pistols and rapidly fired lever guns that mowed down bad guys at every turn along many a dusty road. Remember playing with cap buster pistols and longing for real guns like John Wayne, Paladin and the Lone Ranger carried? Well, here's your chance to jump on the wagon train and get your own lever gun without spending all your hard earned dinero partner!

The Henry Lever Action .22 is an American made rifle that will instantly take you back to youthful dreams of cowboys and lever guns. At first glance, you'll notice the beautiful American walnut stock that puts many more expensive guns to shame. The Henry will hold 15 rounds of .22 long rifle cartridges and will also handle .22 short and .22 long cartridges as well. Weighing in at approximately 5.25 pounds, the Henry is just right for a fun gun to carry along on hikes or for hunting small game like rabbits and squirrels.

Now as all my readers should know, my favorite lever gun is in Marlin 39 family, but I don't currently own one. Why? Because I can't afford one right now! That's why I'm telling you about the Henry, because it is around half the price (or less) than the Marlin! Now the Henry is made differently than the Marlin and the differences are reflected in the price. Remember, you do get what you pay for as always! But the Henry delivers good accuracy at a good price! The best part is most folks can afford a Henry now! Other than price, the Henry has just about the best warranty you can get. Here it is, quoted directly from their web site at http://www.henryrepeating.com/rifle-lever-action.cfm:

"Henry Repeating Arms stands behind its products as it has historically. We offer a simple limited lifetime warranty; if you have a problem at any time, and it's our fault, we will correct the problem immediately and at no charge. The warranty does not cover excessive wear and tear to parts, and accidental damage."

At the low price of the Henry Lever Action .22 rifle, that's about as good as a deal gets these days! Go buy one!
