Recently handled a few Henry single shots. IMO they are too heavy for a hunter whose only ATVs are on his feet! I like the design and the workmanship and even the real world prices BUT
Couldn't they shed some of that weight by making the receivers of aluminum alloy, one of the traditional ways of making a lightweight break-action gun, double or single? It would really help the handling of the small guage shotguns especially. Maybe Ruger could help 'em out with the alloy and casting! (Sure....).
How do these guns take down? One of the main advantages of break action guns is that most of them are REALLY easy to break down into two or three short pieces for storage and packing. Is that true of the Henry singles? (Store was too busy to ask questions and I never break down a gun that isn't mine without permission....).
Made in USA rings my bells, for sure!
