Henery golden boy

[mbz300sdl_GF]

thanks for your info and input explains a lot I'm really leaning towards getting one but I wanta shoot it before buying it

Sounds like Zane will be getting an early Christmas gift for someone.
I have always wanted one too.

Already got a 22 mag and a watch that cost more then the gun my man takes care of me!!

I have a Golden Boy. It's an excellent rifle. The action is smooth and it shoots well. I really like it.

Cabelas has them on sale for $389.99. I was able to price match at Dick's and had a 10% off coupon making the rifle $350 before tax. Beautiful rifle. After watching their infomercial on their manufacturing process, I was sold.

Golden Boy looks good, but I went with Henry Frontier Lever Action with Oxtagon barrel. Very pleased with it and just a few dollar less. Does not have the brasslite receiver or brass butt plate. All blued instead

Valley Guns in West Va.has a good selection of Henrys. Just got a 22 S/L/LR for $275 wi the $20 cash discount.

I am looking for one as well. If you guys/gals see any on sale over the holidays, please post.

I like shooting mine

The Gun shop and Freestate both had them in stock last week

A little story about Henry's customer service:

I bought two lever action .22s for my boys; the standard non-Golden Boy. One was perfect, but the other had a front sight canted slightly to the right. Although I looked the gun over at the store, I didn't notice it. I tried fixing it, but the hole drilled in the barrel that the front sight is secured into was not centered. Kevin Maguire at Henry RAC sent me a shipping label to send the gun back. I got no hassle at all and was shocked to get it back in six days with a new barrel. The problem was fixed. Where else would the service be that good?

There are some minor things on Henry's rifles that I would like to see improved in the future, and I know a few have not been happy with some of their advertising (comparing their rifles to the original Henry's of the 19th century), but I definitely support this company. I hope they continue to grow and improve and remain American made.

Same here. Frontier lever action octagon. I love its classic looks.

I have a .22 mag Golden Boy with big loop lever. Great gun. Only drawback was that it required drilling into receiver by gunsmith to put scope mount on it. Henry rifles rock.

Nice thing about Frontier, no drilling required to mount 3/8 rim fire mounts

I have several of the golden boys, 44, 357/38, .22, 30-30. beautiful rifles,accurate and fun to shoot. service from henry has been incredible. the magazine tube broke at the twist lock end. I called henry they sent a call tag, I get the repaired rifle back at no charge, they cleaned it,polished it and they replaced the fore and butt stock as it was scratched up from use.

Love the gun , hate the sights.

I wonder if Henry will listen to it's customers and consider bluing their receivers and maybe adding a side loading gate to Big Boy line some day. I would imagine the prices would go up. I think they'd capture more of the cowboy action shooting crowd if they made some changes; that's a pretty big market.

I believe that they listen to what we want and desire. But, IMO, the loading tube is what makes mine easier to distinguish.

Ditto. Mine is pretty sweet but the sights are not as fun. I may throw a scope on mine. Goodbye Mr. Squirrel

 

[hacktracker]

Agreed about the sights. The rear simply has too much play.

I have a 22LR Frontier and I may add a 2-7x rimfire scope.

 

[jomill613]

What type of scope have you been thinking about? I was looking at the vortex series. I have heard they are quality scopes at a mediumish price.

 

[54rndball]

They have a lot of plastic parts on the Henry right? That is a turn off for me.

 

[Jimbob2.0]

Very good guns, aesthetically I prefer the silver boy but all the same stuff.

I don't know where you got that info........my Henrys are made of STEEL, BRASS, and WALNUT. Most important, they're made in the USA, no import parts at all.
