Henry makes a good rifle at a good price. Browning makes a Great rifle that will last forever and is a big step up in my opinion. I looked at both and bought a Browning.

It would be petty cool to have a side gate 22lr. But it makes me wonder if the resin they don’t do it is because you could bend the rounds pushing them in?
@lifepolicy2 ай бұрын
@@FunNGunYes people argued about how easily the .22 would get damaged by using a side gate. But I think with a soft spring and maybe a polymer side gate that would be possible. However, the original 1860 is also front-loading but has a much cooler loading mechanism.

@@lifepolicy I agree I am sure with today’s tech they could figure out how to make it. Which would be cool because then we could have a non 20in suppressible 22 lever gun lol. Well I guess there’s always the old rugers for that lol. They do have a cool front loaded set up on them which would be cool on a 22 set up for sure.

Cool comparison video. Both rifles have pros and cons. I had had absolutely no problems with my Henry "Golden boy" .22 magnum. I had a "custom" engraved receiver cover made at Henry Pride. My grandsons love it
@FunNGun6 ай бұрын
Thank you and they are great guns I really like how smooth the Henry is and I also like how short the throw is on the Browning. I just had to look up what Henry pride was because I didn’t know you could get custom covers for them that’s really cool. Thanks for watching

Yeah the triggers are not the best. I thought at some point I had seen a place that made a trigger upgraded kit for them but I have not been able to find it agin.

My only problem with the Henry Golden Boy (and all Henry .22s) is that they employ Zamc-5, a zinc alloy, instead of blued steel.

I own both but we all prefer the Henry. The Browning is ammo picky ! I have a lot of our sons friends over to shot. The Browning quality seems better but the lever is not truly cowboy style. Our Henry is not as fancy as yours but it's the children's favorite. The West wasn't won with a short throw trigger pivoting lever but hey what do 30-40 kids know.
@FunNGun4 ай бұрын
Interesting I haven’t tried just a whole lot of different ammo’s in my Browning, but it has worked just fine with all of the ones that I have. I gave quality to the Henry only because my first Browning was gritty and broke with in a few hundred rounds. The Browning is definitely not a cowboy style gun but for how I shot it I love the short lever🤠.I will say that I really like both gun but the Browning was the one I bought first. When I say bought first I mean I will probably end up with the Henry too at some point 🤷🏻♂️lol Because sadly this one is my buddy’s guns. Now as for winning the West I have a few 30-30s for that 😬
@user-xx2hj7xb6b2 ай бұрын
See, it's not just Henry rifles that get sent back for repairs. The Golden Boy has more visible, flexible rear sights. Also, I don't like the BL-22's short throw lever, with the trigger attached to the lever. No disrespect to Browning - I've had a .22 Buckmark for decades. Henry's .22s get bashed for their Zamac-5 receivers and receiver covers. Bash away, the Zamac holds up, even with hot loads.

@Firebirb427Ай бұрын
Personally i would take the Henry over the browning for a few reasons. First and foremost. That browning has a design flaw inside the receiver as yo alluded to with the plate inside the receiver coming lose and rendering the gun inoperable. to my knowledge, the Henry rifles do not have such a design flaw. Henrys are known for being quality. And Henry has a pretty good warranty. And some henry rifles have that super cool Hexagon barrel. I'm not fond of the buckhorn sights, but i can always put a scope or a red dot on their 3/8's dovetail rail with a converter rail. in short. I believe the Henry would be more reliable.
@FunNGunАй бұрын
I like the both and would agree that the Henry is probably more robust but it really do enjoy the short thought of the browning. Now that being said if that part comes out in the receiver aging it will be gone lol

Being made in japan is not a bad thing. Yeah, Japan is far away. However, The Japanese have such a epic work ethic that it boarder lines on insanity. As things currently stand, many of the worlds most reliable designs and products come from Japanese designs and products. And they really care about the products they put out. And The plate you mentioned that failed in your previous Browning BL-22 is a design flaw on Browning's part. Now, if the rifle was made in China, then that would be great cause for concern. However, products made in Japan are a solid bet.
