Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General Henry gripe...

i've only handled one of the .22 henrys,
and it felt smoother than teflon on ice.
i didn't get to fire it because my buddy
had just bought it and i couldn't well
fire it before he did. he's had several
marlins that weren't as smooth as the henry.
if they bring out the single in a 30/30
i'll be buying one of those, so i guess
i'll find out how good they are then.
i can say i'd be hard for me to used
to not having a loading gate on a tube
mag centerfire lever.

Well,

I guess everyone has to have an opinion.

Personally I find the BBS an attractive rifle. I only wish my Marlins, Winchesters, Rossi's, and Savages had the fit and finish of a Henry. The only thing even close in my LGS is the Uberti sitting next to the Henry's for double the price.

And when it comes to out of the box accuracy and smoothness of action, none of the others come close.
