About to buy a Henry Survival, talk me out of it?

[tomandjerry00]

Dicks has one on sale for $229.99 and I have a $20 off $100 they said they would accept making it $209.99+tax. Seems like a good price for a gun that seems real neat to me but somewhat of an impulse buy.

And as an aside, I sold my 10/22 in favor of my Remington 597 so I have those two out of my system.

Can anyone talk me out of it?

You've come to the wrong place, amigo. Buy that bitch!

Dont let them dick you out of that rifle. Bring that baby home!

I have to concur. Asking me if you should by a gun is liking asking if sex is fun. I'll reply yes to both.

Do you expect us to say no? Just buy it. We're not talking big money.

Getting the 10/22 out of your system doesn't compute for me. I like having several.

I bought one a couple of years ago and it's a great shooter. Accurate out of the box. Easy to put together and break down. I believe it came with two magazines. It floats. If that's not enough to talk you out of it, I give up.

Well I guess I'll be the one. They are better in concept than practice. I've shot and played with several.
They tend to be ammo sensitive -piss poor characteristic for a survival rifle.
I've never found them to be all that accurate.
The sights suck.
I tested the floating thing. They don't float indefinitely. The way the stock is set up after a minute or so it starts to fil with water and sink. It floats enough that you might be able to retrieve it if dropped overboard but I think it's overstated.

This is extremely accurate. I have worked on many and my some has one. Its not worth more than $100.00 IMO.

If you want one of the best tactical .22s get a S&W 15-22.

First, they're not called Dicks for nothing.

Second, you can't lose it in a boating accident.

Yeah. I'd buy one if I could get it for $100 or less. Otherwise not worth it.

Cool concept, many manufacturers over the years. I don't think anyone has been able to make one that works reliably.

They have a horrible, horrible reputation for being total jamomatics.

It is a damn shame, and I do not know why someone can't make a decent version.

There is better stuff out there but for $2 bills get it for kicks and giggles.

Most I have handled ran well enough on decent .22 ammo.
