First of all, the guy named MythBuster has some sort of personal beef with Henry and he always replies to these kind of threads with a post thta insults the quality of Henry rifles. No one else who actually owns a Henry will ever be as negative as this guy. I don't know, or care, what his beef is, but I can say my first hand experience with Henry rifles is totally different from anything he ever says in any of his posts.
Secondly, here is what I posted about Henry's in another thread:
I have the Henry Big Boy lever rifle in .44 Mag, and it is also offerred in a .45 Colt. I have used the .44 Mag extensively, but as I said, I do not have the one in .45 Colt. I think it is safe to assume that much of what I will say baout the Henry Big Boy in .44 Mag would also apply to the same rifle in .45 Colt:
Smooth as glass action. Very smooth. Like a hot knife through butter. Incredibly smooth action.
Very reliable. Thousands of rounds through without any issues.
Easy to clean.
First-rate workmanship in manufacturing is apparent throughout this rifle.
Great wood, nice octagonal barrel.
Heavy, solid rifle (I think it is about 8 1/2 pounds) which is easier on me for holding it steady.
Based on the Winchester 1866 "yellow boy" rifle.
Proudly made in the U.S.A. in Brooklyn, NY.
