I've got 2 Henry's with the octagon barrel. One a golden boy that I put fiber optic sights on. The other a frontier that I mounted a fastfire red dot on. They both have a smoother action than the 39a I used to have. The Marlin and winchester are more robust in build, but no longer made. Parts will get scarce sooner than later. Was wanting another lever action, and it didn't make sense to pay the inflated prices for the older models. I got new ones with warranties & good customer service.
