which rifle, they make quite a few models. I haven't owned one, but I prefer winchesters when it comes to 30-30's just because they are trimmer and weigh a half pound less. the henry is basically a 336 type action. the loading gate was a huge plus for them to add to their guns. the rimfires I am not interested in because the receivers are pot metal. yeah I get it, it makes them cheaper, I wish they offered a machined steel option like the 94/22's in which case that is what I ended up buying.
