I have the Charter Arms rendition, purchased new in 1980. I can’t hit anything with it. It’s my least accurate rifle by far. The main problem is the rear site. It’s cheesy as hell. I had feeding problems as well, but that was solved with a new mag. After that, it goes bang every time. Now, if I could just hit something.

Curious how you can write such an article without mentioning the current Henry versions readily available, but not to be confused with these previous versions?

Mine probably doesn’t fall into the collectable category since its new but every one in the family loves it. I hesitated buying because of all the bad reviews around the internet but it seems that Henry has fixed all the issues of the previous makers. Mine is reliable and fun to shoot.

I have one from Charter Arms. I love it, but it feels different than anything I’ve ever shot. You can feel the springs in the action when fired. That’s the best I can describe it.

Yes but his was, of course, a 25 cal sniper version. I’m guessing not a 25 acp.

Hey, you forgot to mention that James Bond used one to shoot down a helicopter in From Russia With Love!
