I'm Jonesing bad for one.

Very nice quality, usually very accurate.
Not much not to like.

my cousin has one in 44-40 and loves the thing. He's big into NSSA and does a little bit of Cowboy Action Shooting so it makes sense for him to own a Henry

great rifles but I'm not a fan of the the lack of foregrip and and the fact that the you have to move your hand out of the way of the follower

that being said I went and bought a Uberti 1873 rifle. No follower that you have to move your hand for, has a foregrip, and the action is easier to disassemble

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Yeah, I realize the 1873 is a better gun technologically, but something really appeals to me about the 1860 Henry.  It'd be strictly a recreational gun (no hunting or competition), so I'm not really worried about the limitations of the design itself.

gotcha, one cool thing about the 1860 Henry though is the fact that it loads like a big 22LR. You know you'll NEED a cap&ball revolver to go with it once you buy it though

Already have a .44 1858 Remington Army. :)

The 1860 Henry is a fun rifle. I have one in 45lc that I really enjoy shooting despite the fact that the OEM sights are getting a bit tough to see with my eyes.

When I'm trying to go fast in a CAS match I rely on my tweaked '66 but when a team shoot is on the schedule, I uncase my Henry. It is a bit muzzle heavy and it will get hot if you're shooting black powder cartridges but there is nothing like cranking off 13 rounds without reloading.

A couple of things you need to watch: don't let the follower slam down on a loaded rounds and always load the rifle in such a manner that the rounds don't free-fall down the tube.

Had one years ago in 45LC. Thing shot great and never any problems as long as you stuck to a round nose flat point bullet. Only negative is its harder
to breadown and clean than a 1873 rifle.

One of many that I would like to have back.

Thanks for that!
