Henery golden boy

[mbz300sdl_GF]

I've seen a Henry golden boy a few times now and love the way it looks but how does it fire is it a good gun?

 

[eruby]

Very good. And made in Brooklyn.

Oh, maybe Bayonne N. J. now.

Mt Airy Gun shack had one for sale. that was a couple of weeks ago.

 

[mbz300sdl_GF]

Yea I've seen them a few places just wanta know If there is any issues I should be aware of with that gun

 

[Ganegrei]

Very nice gun with a few drawbacks.

Pros:
Lightweight
Accurate
No Recoil
Cheap to Shoot
Classic
Blingtastic
Made in the US of A

Cons:
The Brass receiver is easy to scratch
Time consuming to reload
Tough to mount a scope or replacement sights
The stock drops oddly low, making it uncomfortable for some people to shoot

I would suggest shooting one or at least holding one before buying.

That sounds nice wouldn't mind see one of those too

The action on mine is like glass, accuracy is as good or better than any of my other .22s and no other rifle is as good looking as the Golden Boy. I have 4 different Henry's and they are all amazing quality guns.

 

[StantonCree]

I have one in 22 mag and i love it.

 

[willy]

I got fiber optic replacement sights a few years back. They make a big difference. Good shooting gun.

Henery? WTF are you, Herman's Hermits singing Henry 8th?

It's Henry, the same Henry that made Johnny Rebs scream like little bitches in 1862

A couple of counter arguments ...

Very nice gun with a few drawbacks.

Pros:
Lightweight
Accurate
No Recoil
Cheap to Shoot
Classic
Blingtastic
Made in the US of A

Cons:
The Brass receiver is easy to scratch (That's what makes it a "Golden Boy" ... or you can get One of these ... Lever Action .22 Rifle)
Time consuming to reload (Get one of these ... Spee-D-Loader™)
Tough to mount a scope or replacement sights (Get one of these ... Scope Mounts)
The stock drops oddly low, making it uncomfortable for some people to shoot (Add an after-market cheek pad if so needed)

I would suggest shooting one or at least holding one before buying.

I own one ... and LOVE it.

 

[iH8DemLibz]

I can't buy one. I'd strip it down, antique it, and make it look 150 years old.

That and the tube magazine on all of their rifles is a turn off. They need side loading ports. They just scream Marlin/Glenfield Model 60 in the current configuration.

 

[iH8DemLibz]

I own one ... and LOVE it.

Good God, Man

What were you thinking?

Your gun owning rights have been taken away for the time being.

At least put a period correct scope on it.

I can't look anymore.

 

[mbz300sdl_GF]

I own one ... and LOVE it.

That's a sexy gun right there!!!

 

[Rapture]

I am looking for one as well. If you guys/gals see any on sale over the holidays, please post.
