No surprises there. The 1-20 for a .44 is encouraging. 1-9 is pretty common now for sporting .223s, if not ARs. A 1-10 .243 will be fine for ordinary hunting bullets up to 100gr, which is why it's also been the standard twist from the getgo. Something tells me (1) that the Henry folks are not likely to be on top of current loony trends, and (2) that most buyers of break-action .243s ain't looking to sling A-maxes and ELDs, more likely Fed blue box and Core-Lokts from Walmart. Of course it wouldn't have cost any more to twist them a bit tighter, but they've got plenty of company in the marketplace on that score.
My main concerns are over the quality and the trigger.
