just recently bought a Henry "Evil Roy" .22. Damn nice little gun. I had only one issue, the front sight was bent. Called up Henry Arms and they dropped a new sight in the mail with a quickness. I have heard their customer service is awesome, and it's true. You call em up, tell what you got...BOOM. They handle it. I have read other folks that have had some issues here and there and Henry has them send the gun in, all shipping paid and either fixes it or sends a new gun. Easy to get someone on the phone too, no bs at all.
First day I had it, even with the bent sight (it wasn't really that big of a bend, just cosmetics really), I popped a troublesome coyote in the neck and dropped him like 3rd period French at 75 yards. I was actually kinda surprised that I was able to do that with a .22 that is this short (16 inch octogon barrel) but I took aim and the rifle did the rest.
I'm a believer in Henry rifles, some folks don't like them because they don't have the pedigree of a Winchester and what not, but from what I have seen and experienced firsthand makes me happy with the purchase. I plan on getting some of the larger rifles later, either the .357 or the 45-70. Lever actions are some serious fun. Been wanting to get into big game hunting, so that's the reason for the 45-70. I have a Savage model 24 and a Ruger security six .357, kinda nice to have several guns chambers in the same round.
