Henry Customer Letters

Just to let you know that I recentlly purchased 2 Golden Boy 22lr. One for me and one for my father-n-law. He had been watching your program on the RFD channel and wanted me to find a Henry for him. He was really impressed in the Golden Boy. He sadly passed away yesterday but I will have another legacy to add to my gun collection. Thank you for being " American Made" and continue your legacy of building a quality product that we all can be proud of.

Dear Anthony,

Thank you for building a quality rifle that I will be able to hand down to my boys. It is a joy to shoot. My friends are always impressed with the smoothness of the action and the tight groups, not to mention the beautiful stock and brasslite receiver.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of your father. He left Henry Repeating Arms in good hands.

Your friend,

Mark Anderson

I'm the proud owner of the Henry H001. There is nothing better than a day in the field knocking down soda cans. I own several .22's but this is my favorite, no kidding! This is not a sales pitch, just the truth.

Mr. Imperado,

I want to say "thank you" for making such a find product as the Henry rifle.  I'm a big ..22 shooter, and had been on the market for a lever-action .22.  After doing a little research (mostly just reading your website and they many complimentary letters) I decided the Henry was the rifle for me.  I bought it yesterday morning, and I can truly say I've never had a finer rifle straight out of the box!  The stock is beautiful, the bluing is deep and rich, and I've never felt a smoother action.  To say I am pleased with it is an understatement!

Last night I watched your RFDtv interview on the website and that just made me even prouder of my Henry.  I try to buy American whenever possible, and it's great to have a truly all-American product.

There will definitely be another Henry rifle in my future (probably the .17HMR as I'm a big fan of that caliber).  I don't know when it will be, but rest assured there will be another Henry in my hands as soon as I can make it happen!  Until then, I want to get me a hat so I can give you a little free advertising on my big head (here in Florida I'm one of those people that if I'm out of the house and not at work or church I'm wearing a hat)!  Look forward to an order from me very soon.   Many thanks and may God bless you!

I bought a HENRY 22 lever action and it is a better gun than my Ruger 10/22. You make a great gun!

Hello, I just want to say that i really love my henry .44 big boy. I have had many comments about how fine the wood stock looks and the craftmanship that is put into making a henry. It is very accurate as well, At a 100 yards i can group shots in 3 ins. Lastly, the price i payed was very reasonable for the amount of gun and quality i received.

GREAT JOB guys and Kind Regards.

Mr. Imperato,   I had recently been looking for a .22 rifle to replace my old one but I wanted a more traditional style rifle than I've had in the past. I looked at bolt action rifles and semi auto rifles but I could not find one that spoke to me. Then, as luck would have it, a Henry Repeating Arms catalog came in the mail. While flipping through the catalog, I came across the lever action Frontier model .22 and I knew I had found the rifle I 'd been looking for. I had never owned a lever action rifle before and I was concerned whether I would like the action, but I decided to give it a try (childhood thoughts of the old west helped a bit). I ordered the Henry Frontier Model .22 rifle from Mid-State Gun Co. in Coventry, RI. When it arrived and I saw it for the first time, I knew I made the right decision. I was attracted to the rifle because of its octagon barrel, handsome walnut stock and its old west style. The rifle looked better than I could imagine and I was amazed at how smooth the action functioned.  I could not wait to get it to the range and put some rounds through it.  Range day came and it performed flawlessly!

I am so impressed with my Henry lever action that I just went back to the gun store and ordered a Henry Big Boy in .45 colt. Thank you for making a superb, all American rifle at an affordable price. Benjamin Tyler Henry would be proud!   Sincerely,

Mike Flanagan
Coventry, RI

Just wanted to send a quick note to tell you I love my Henry Golden  Boy.  It's a perfect blend of quality and beauty combined.  I am  proud to own it and I just wanted to say that your efforts to make  Henry a superlative gun are appreciated by all. Keep up the fine work.

I bought a Henry 22 cal. lever action rifle a couple of years ago and have shot against a browning lever action 22 cal rifle and the henry performed and outshot the browning ten  to one. There was no comparison. Pease keep up the quality and craftsmanship of your guns because they are absolutly the best.

I currently own the 22 Magnum Lever Action, and absolutely love this gun. It is so much fun to shoot, and is very accurate. I have owned it for over 4 years.  I will own this gun until I die.  It will be handed down through the family then.  I just hope it brings them as much joy as it has me.  I am currently planning on buying the Big Boy 44 Mag. just as soon as I can convince my wife that I need it, and can't live without it.  You make the greatest lever guns on the market.  Thanks for making such a fine product.

Dear Henry Rifle

I purchased a Henry H001 last week, this is my first lever rifle. What a smooth action and is accurate also.

I would recommend one of these to anyone who is interested in a lever rifle. I have been shooting for almost 40 years and have been shooting NRA high power and CMP Garand and Vintage matches for the last 5 years, so I know a good rifle when I shoot one.

I am very impressed.

Keep up the good work.

Dear Anthony,

Greetings!  After two months of saving up for a Henry product, I finally bought one.  Not only for myself, but mainly for my eight year old son, Lorenzo.

I bought a Henry H005 today from Russell Sports Calgary.  We went to the store yesterday, and he tried the H005.  I compared it with a competitor's single shot, but my son's mind was already made up on the Henry.  I gave him a 2008 Henry Catalog that I requested sometime last year, and I always catch him going through the catalog whenever he is in his room.

I let him read the manual twice today, before allowing him to touch the rifle.  I was surprised that he answered all the questions I asked him with regards to the manual.  That shows how user friendly your manual is.  I will let him read the manual over and over, and at the same time show him how the rifle functions, putting emphasis on the safety aspect, before I bring him to the range.

Several factors were considered when we decided to buy the rifle.  First, was the simplicity of the design.  I like the fact that you have to activate the cocking knob to fully arm the rifle even if you have already chambered a round.  Secondly, my son is very comfortable with the rifle, and it has  very nice sights.  Last, but not least, is that a single shot rifle will teach young shooters to focus on accuracy.

I am confident that this would not be the last Henry product that we will purchase.  I am now considering an Acu-Bolt for myself.  Attached are photographs that we took when we unpacked the rifle at home.

My kindest regards,

Rex C. Hinlo

Dear Mr.Imperato,

Sincerely yours,

Anthony I want to say thanks for making such a nice gun for my children. Keep up the good work at Henry. I recommend your rifles to all my friends when they ask what is a good 22 rifle for kids. Go Henry!
