Yeah I have a Golden Boy and it's fine. I'm mostly talking about the centerfires

From everything I have seen , they make no junk. I am not a fan but style is what I don't care for.

Grumpy old man with a gun.....Do not touch .
Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

I've never owned one but, have looked at some. I personally don't like the magazine tube loading on centerfire calibers. I know the original Henry 1860 had that but, was changed later on to a loading gate, when Winchester got going good.

Why do I have to press 1, for English?

Our local Scheels had and 'Original Henry' 44 WCF in the display case and it looked well put together, above average blue and wood finish. I just couldn't get myself to break loose the money for it.

I have a Long Ranger in 223 / 5.56 and a Big Boy Steel in 327 Federal Mag. Both shoot well and have nice wood that is well fitted. The BBS is an absolute hoot with 32 S&W longs. My biggest complaint is they are on the heavy side.
