They feel nice. Good. These guns are on the 2017 products page. Probably the first time I have looked at the company's web site in a decade. I'm impressed that the butt pads look like they got that feature right. I would like to see one end on to see if they are shaped in shotgun style. |

They are very nice guns. Came out late spring. Had a chance to shoot the .308. Very accurate and recoil is not bad at all. I have a BLR as well, and while I'd still pick the Browning, it's close. Friend paid ~650 otd for it.
Eta: has detachable mag just like the BLR |

Interesting. The only thing I'd say is that you can pick up a used BLR for a lot less.

The butt pads on both guns don't look like they were fitted correctly. If I was boss of rifles, all standard rifles would be sold with butt plate shims off the rack. That means any remaining graceful taper of the butt stock ends at the butt plate. But sometimes I prefer function or utility over pretty. A Steyr SSG or an Anschutz target rifle in a wood stock are two good examples; both are shooters, and the look is not bad. |

Looks identical to a BLR if you ask me. I thought the same thing but then I pulled up some pics of the Browning BLR. First thing I was looking for..... the BLR has the trigger group as part of the lever, i.e. it moves down and out of position when the lever is operated (operationally  ). The Henry does not have that feature. The trigger assembly is separate from the lever function like a "92, '94 etc. This likely is the reason that the shooters liked the trigger as well as they did.
I would be in the market for one at around $650-$750 IF I COULD GET IT in...........358 Winchester............. Henry, ya listenin....... I'm talkin one helluva woods gun. |

Nothing more...they are cheaply made, and the price reflects that. I have had a couple, and they have quickly gone down the road. Their centerfire levers....just no. As for the single shot, they are now the only game in town. NEF no longer makes single shot rifles. |

I think the Freedom Group killed H&R/NEF. I'd rather see Henry build an 1885 style single shot. |

I think it looks AWESOME.
I'll bet it balances and throws nicely. The video reviews have been very complimentary of its accuracy. Most of the guys shooting it are either bolt or auto guys -- a lever befuddles 'em. |

I can tell you which rifle is most likely to win one of the rimfire leveraction silhouette matches here, and it ain't the Marlin or Browning. I'd still rather own the two Marlins I have now. |
