I have never understood the hatred of Henry 22s. I have a 22 mag with the octogon barrel and it's squirrel head accurate at 50 yards. Is it an Anschutz? No, but I didn't pay anywhere near that much either. Add a Vortex rimfire scope and it's a fun to carry and shoot little lever. I bought the one for me after getting my daughter a youth model and liking hers.
I dont think its hatred per say...i myself dont hate them. To be honest I'm just not into lever action rifles though so my opinion really doesn't matter. I have heard many owners insisting though that they are every bit as good as 39s and 9422s...which is just not true..and i think that steams some people.
