My Dad bought this rifle back in the spring, when Cabela's had Henrys on sale. I've had a few months to play with it now. I have to say, I'm impressed.
It is lightweight, and handles well. The sight are easy to use. It holds 14 rounds in a tubular magazine. I can pick off spent shotgun shells from 25 yards with ease. Once I got used to the pump action, it has proven to be utterly reliable. It eats any ammo you feed it. It is faster than a lever action, and the pump action allows one to stay on target while you cycle the next round through.
So if you are looking for a good plinker, or a first gun for your kid, give the Henry a hard look.
