Every video review I can find on youtube has nothing but glowing recommendations for the Golden Boy.
But a recent thread on reddit had a lot of users bashing it for its quality.
What's the real answer?

While I don't have a Golden Boy I do have a Steel Big Boy in .357 that is great. Action is smooth, shoots everything I put through it.

I have a golden boy the Action is silk out of the box, trigger is great, sights are wonderful to pick up. I don't know what exactly why they are bashing it.. the wood grain is excellent the fit and finish is excellent. Of course they are going to use a zinc alloy.. its a .22lr.

I did buy mine 4-5 yrs ago.

My only gripe in handling the Golden Boy is, that the butt-stock seems really low compared to their regular model.  In other words, my cheek seems like it needs a pad or something, to get it up higher, in line with the bore
and sights.

I had a .17hmr for one day and took it back for that reason. That's only the second gun in my life I have taken back. I got a frontier .17 instead. Quality is the same as other Henrys.
