This.

I compared my Model 39 with my Henry straight up in an accuracy/reliablity contest. The Marlin ended up sucking hind teat so I promptly, and happily, dumped it.

I'm rapidly growing weary of listening to people trash Henrys because of the Model 39's perceived "coolness." A product, be it a rifle, a fly swat, a mouse trap, or a submarine, is "cool" only if it consistently works...my Model 39 didn't, so it hit the road.
