It's an impressive little rifle, but when I couldn't decide between it and the Ruger 10/22 Breakdown, so I did what I always do when in similar such situations. I bought both. The Ruger is a fine gun, but it's heavy, even when broken apart. And the Henry can be easily thrown into a knapsack or tied with cord and carried over the shoulder or even tossed into a briefcase. An AR7 can be easily carried with three loaded magazines of 8 rounds apiece.
The Ruger itself is a rifle that all homeowners and gun owners should own. It comes with its own well made case capable of carrying several high-capacity magazines and the rifle.
I haven't had a chance to shoot the Ruger, but the Henry shoots very well. I was so glad to hear Henry had bought the rights to the AR7 and that I wasn't going to have to buy a Charter Arms (which is what I thought I was going to have to buy when I decided to buy one). I had just finished reading a review of the AR7 in an old magazine, and I thought if the Charter Arms (a company I generally despise) still made 'em, I would buy one. But when I went shopping for one, I discovered it had traded hands to the Henry.

Anyway, I like both the Henry and the Ruger. Do you have one, or both? Which do you prefer, and do you have a Charter Arms or earlier? Many people who do a lot of flying buy AR7s.
I like the Ruger, but I still find the Ruger a bit too heavy.
