If you want to shoot it and maybe let it get beat up in a truck or on an ATV rack, get the Henry. It works just fine and is fairly accurate. I have one and my son has the youth model. He's beaten the Hell outa it, and it looks like crap. But it still shoots well and I don't worry about it...like I would if he was using my 9422M.
If you can get a Marlin or Win, at a decent price - buy it. But don't automatically rule out a Henry for the price difference.
