They make decent rifles. I like the 22's well enough for a shooter, but can't buy one of their centerfires. A pistol caliber rifle that weighs almost 9 lbs should be against the law to make. Seems Henry missed the whole point of owning a lever action. They should be a light handy carbine, not 2 lbs heavier than my 300 magnum. Having to load from the front of the tube vs a loading gate on the side of the receiver is another negative.
I like the idea of pistol caliber levers, have a Marlin in 44. I just don't like Henry's version.
