I wouldn't buy one for myself. But I bought one yesterday for my wife....she likes it, probably because it's shiny!

As big and heavy as the Henry is... NO. But a 92 Rossi in 32-20 would be very nice.

I could be tempted into one if they changed to a loading gate in cals. 40/65 or 50/95.
Good morning
A 40-65 would be acceptable. Seeing as the present prospect is to alter another 336...

I believe I'll just keep my 1913 Mod. 92 Winchester in 32-20 and 3 revolvers chambered in that cartridge. I don't know anything about the Henry's other than they don't appeal to me.

" No thanks, the Henry's have no appeal to me." nor does a Rossi. I like and prefer what I call Brand Name Firearms - such as a Marlin when Levers are mentioned.

Remington has really made Marlin a great "brand name."
Absolutely not, especially in brass. I cannot stand a rifle where you have to load a tube. And Henry's weigh to much. Lots of firearms are made in the USA. But I don't buy by manufacturing location.
I do want a .32-20.. Ideal mid caliber in my book. If Henry made one it would need a loading gate and be smaller for me to consider buying one.. So far I am leaning towards Uberti. The Henrys king of look funny to me, like plastic toys you'd find on a shelf at Wal-Mart, though the CCH examples posted look ok. I know it is subjective and I don't doubt they work well, but the company needs a real designer, not just an engineer..

I don't care for the way the Henry's octagon barrels don't seem to be "sharp" on the lines?, they look all polished off!?, and they should have a loading gate too.
I have a Marlin 1894 25-20, would like to have one in 32-20, the Winchestes are way to much $$$ and you couldn't give me a *** Rossi!

I don't like any of their rifles myself. They never heard of Kings patent? I don't want to have I don't want to stand over the muzzle to load a breach loading repeating rifle by dropping cartridges down a tube then ramming another tube down on top of em. Until they figure out the concept of a loading gate in the receiver, I would never buy one.
Way too much money for the start. Made in America for 3X the price of others made in the good old USA does not hold water.
I had an original Marin in 25-20 many years ago that shot 3/4" at 100 with cast. Marlin never improved that.
I went on Henry's site and learned to stutter!
