Apparently unlike most people, I don't get dewy-eyed when discussing Model 39's and consider .22's to simply be tools. From that perspective, it's hard to beat a Henry in terms of price, function, customer service, and general "bang for the buck" (the pun was intentional).

In my experience, most people who trash Henrys have never shot one and simply badmouth them based on what they read or someone told them.
