Dear Henry Rifle,

I purchased my first Henry rifle early in the year, a Golden Boy .22LR. My son and I finally had the opportunity to fire this wonderful piece of work. Previous to firing it, I admired the fit and finish of this nostalgic firearm. The ultra-smooth action begged to be worked. It is a beautiful rifle! After firing it, my appreciation of the firearms only grew to greater heights. I am not a marksman, but this rifle makes me feel like one. Out of the box, this was a very accurate rifle. It is now my favorite firearm I own. Here are a few pictures of my 13 year and I enjoying this new favorite gun.

Thank you Henry Rifle,

Hello Anthony,

Well better late than never I suppose, my wife's company had shooting night at the range and attached are some photos of my son (Joshua age 9) and I, and of course the Henry mini-bolt. We had a great time, he spots for me and I spot for him. Sorry I did not get back to you sooner.

Take care,

Dear Mr. Imperato, President

Thank you for writing to me about the Henry Repeating Firearms catalog that I requested. I did receive the Henry catalog and went out and bought the Henry Golden Boy 22 caliber. After reading the instruction manual I took the Golden Boy to the shooting range and loaded it with 5- 22 long caliber bullets.

I set up the target at 25 yards to sight in the rifle. The bulls-eye of the target was the size of a silver dollar. I was in a sitting position and rested the Golden Boy on a small sand bag to get more stability. The Golden Boy was ready to fire the first bullet.

My first pull on the trigger and the Golden Boy fired beautifully. I picked up the binoculars and sighted in the target. The first bullet had entered the target dead center in the bull's-eye.

I cocked the lever on the Golden Boy to discharge the first shell. The lever action was effortless and smooth. The second bullet was now ready to fire. I squeezed the trigger and the Golden Boy fired. The second bullet discharged from the Golden Boy. I grabbed the binoculars and the second bullet was also in the bull's eye just a tad to the right of the first bullet that was fired.

To make a long story short. The last 3 bullets that I fired from the Henry Golden Boy all entered the target in the bull's eye area. I was amazed and to say just thrilled.

I later set the target at a range of fifty yards. Using the same size bull's eye which looked like a small dot from that range, I still managed to hit the bull's eye several times.

The Henry Golden Boy is a great rifle. The workmanship is the best I have seen. All of you did a wonderful job. I thank you and all the people who worked on my rifle.

The Henry Golden Boy rifle is a rifle that every shooter should own. I have recommended it too many people for them to enjoy as much as I do.

Thank you all again.

Thanks so much for the catalog. I have read so much about the History of this wonderful rifle. The Henry Golden Boy is my favorite and I was saving up my money to purchase one. i am a 64 year old Grandmother, living alone and showed the catalog to my Friend I am seeing. He Surprised me Christmas Morning with a Golden Boy 22 Rifle. He also bought him one just like it. I am going to display it on my wall in my western Room but I have been out to his farm twice shooting it. Boy What a smooth Lever Action . It shoots as sweet as it looks. I am going to try to find a Brass Barrel Band. It would really set it off and put the icing on the cake. Do you know where I can get one?

Thanks again from a "Tom Boy" Grandmaw. The best gun in the West.

I have attached a picture of myself on Christmas Morning when I received the Henry Golden Boy as a gift from a dear friend. Just goes to show you that even 64 year old Grand- maws know a Good Rifle when they see one. Haven't been so excited on a Christmas Morning since I was 12 and got my new Shiny Blue Bicycle.

My friend bought him a Henry Golden Boy and a pump . Also my brother from Arkansas saw mine and Bought him one and his Grand-son one too. Now we're a real Henry Family. Thank you again and Have a nice Day

I thought that I would send a picture of my daughter Whitney and what she got for her birthday. At the 4H meeting tonight Whitney took her new H005 to show it off now I've got to go find 2 more H005 and find a H007 for the team. Thanks for making a great rifle the the kids.

Hello Anthony, This Is the H001Henry 22 cal. rifle that I gave my son on his 11th birthday. This gun is a lot of fun for us to shoot and it also extremely accurate . With safety first we will have fun memories for a lifetime. The gun will make a great heirloom for him to pass on . Thanks for building such a quality gun.

Dear Anthony I got the Personalized Golden Boy. When I put that receiver on the rifle, I just can't tell you how it made me feel. I love the rifles you make.... Right here in the USA. My third Henry, more to come. Thank you.

Dear Anthony,

I thought you might like to have a copy of these photos... here is the story behind them.

My GG Grandfather, Carl Kobitz, was a Texas Ranger in 1871. He is buried in the family cemetery out on our ranch near Raisin, Texas (south Texas, between the towns of Victoria and Goliad).

There is an organization that was founded in the 1894 called the "Former Texas Rangers Association" - organized to be a social and support club for current and former Texas Rangers and their families. I am a proud member of that organization.

The Former Texas Rangers Association, in conjunction with the Texas Historical Commission, provides Texas Ranger grave markers for the gravesites of all former Texas Rangers, and this past weekend, I traveled to our ranch and set the marker for my Texas Ranger Great Great Grandfather who died in 1888.

After the marker was set, I wanted to take some photos of it to share with my family, and I just could not resist the temptation to lean my Henry rifle against the marker, next to the Texas Ranger cross.

We know that Carl Kobitz carried a repeating rifle, but we don't know if it was a Henry. Unfortunately, there are no photos of Carl with any guns, and none of his guns are owned by my family. We do know that he was a founding member of the Coletto Shooting Society, a gun club founded by the German immigrants who settled that area. We are trying to locate a photo of that club, and hopefully that will tell us if he owned a Henry or Winchester.

Finally, just waned to let you know how much I am enjoying that little .22 rifle. It shoots like a champ.

Sincerely,

I just purchased an octogon Henry 22 LR for my 10 year old grandson. It is amazingly slick, tight, and machined to good centerfire quality. It has heirloom written all over it. I've never seen a better built piece.

Hello, I have owned my H001Henry for over two years now and couldn't have been happier with the performance. I think the workmanship is next to none. This last fall my brother in law, Rocky Austin got his hands on my Henry and had to have one himself. His wife got him an H001 for Christmas and since then, weather permitting (we have had a rough winter up here in Maine!), he has been shooting up a storm. I am enclosing a picture of one of his targets and the picture speaks for itself!

All I can say is that I am 57 and have been shooting and hunting since I was 12. I own several firearms. I have Marlin and Winchester levers. I have NEVER bought a firearm that was as SMOOTH in the action and also never just took one out of the box and it be right on target. The little 22 octagon barrel buckhorn sites was a real pleasure to pull the trigger on that rifle. THANKS for keeping the quality. I will be in the future buying the engraved receiver for my little jewel 22.
