Well, I bought me a little Henry Golden Boy.
I cannot believe this gun.
The only thing I have done to this gun was turn the rear site around. (It has a nice Buckhorn Rear Site with a Nice White Diamond Marker) It made it very blurry, so I turned it 180° so just the plain black side is showing.

I ran my cleaning rod through the gun a few times & that's it. It is very well made & very heavy for it's size.

Here are a couple vids.

This first one is me shooting at a old dues card which is .012 thick. I was trying to cut it in half from 10 yards. At .012 thick & 30' away you can see it in the sites.

This second is 135 yards. Just a water bottle, but I just walked down there & back...picked up the gun & shot twice. No steady rest, no scope.

What an incredible little gun

The only two draw backs I see is the internals are cheap pot metal. I can't believe they would make such a beautiful gun (it truly is a superb craftsmanship) & put pot metal on the inside.
And second the rear site riser is equal to the one on my Crossman 760 BB Gun. very cheap:noidea:

Would I recommend? YES This is the best 22 I have shot in a long time. I will be purchasing their Golden Boy 22 Mag next

have 2 Henrys myself. one Golden Boy and one Carbine. would like to get a Rifleman Loop for it.

great guns, action so smooth you want to cock it again just to experience it.

I saw those large loops on their site. They look great...I too thought about getting one & having it brass plated, but then I wouldn't want to shoot the gun...:tehe:
