My dad gave me a Henry .22 Lever Action for my 6th or 7th birthday.

It has given me 15 years of dependable use, I expect that if I ever have children it will be around for them to shoot. Its accurate to a point where accuracy is a measure of the shooters skill more than it is the gun.

I think the Golden Boys are a bit too pretty to shoot, and that if mine had been a golden boy, 15 years of use would have it not looking nearly as pretty as it started.

I love mine, its built solid and functions well.
