You get what you pay for. I have a Henry in .45 Colt; the Big Boy Steel with 20" barrel. Weight is 7.0lb, till I scoped it.Fit and finish are superb, smooooth action and accurate as the dickens. The tube feed doesn't bother me at all. Been loading my 39A for decades thru the tube, so, I'm good. Easy as hell to unload also. saddlegun, you done well. Enjoy it. What will your load be? I can say mine if you're interested.
