I won the Henry pump in an online giveaway. When I got it, it had some dings on the stock and minor scratches. I didn’t mind so much since it was free. I contacted Henry for pricing on a replacement stock. Their customer service sent me a brand new one free of charge instead. The lady just said tell all your friends how Henry treats their customers. That blew my mind that they would do that. Excellent, fun rifle. Superb customer service

Henry has done the same for me. Mine was not any mechanical or cosmetic issue. I did not like the large loop lever at all. I wanted to buy a standard lever. Henry customer service told me no problem, give me your shipping address, and we will send you the standard lever for free. We want our customers to be completely satisfied with their purchase. . Cant beat that. 🤙🏻

Had a Henry pump---it was an old model with thin barrel they stopped making ages ago and was in bad shape, didn't work, always jammed due to abuse....was worth about $50 in parts. I sent it back to Henry and they couldn't fix it due to lack of parts as it as discontinued model so they sent me a brand new rifle worth $500. Best warranty ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I own a rossi gallery gun and I know it cycles 22 Short ammo. It runs CB Short rounds better than cci "Quiet" long rifle rounds. I have to use more force when cycling the 22LR to insure that the bolt closure is enough for it to fire, but not while running 22short or 22long. It has been like that since the first time I shot it so it is not a matter of being dirty. But I have a little 4X scope mounted on it and enjoy backyard plinking without disturbing any neighbors.

Kristin is an amazing reviewer, very thorough. She hit all the points to consider really, but for my personal preference the fact it’s American made and made well, with a customer service backing like no other, I go Henry every time. Ruger is a fine company, but overall Henry is the best American gun maker right now, HANDS DOWN.

Very informative video, As a lover of vintage guns my first choice would be a Winchester model 61 or 62. pump. But beautiful collector guns are being priced out of the hands of anyone who's not a millionaire. So $1800.00 for a worn out classic .22 or around $600 for a brand-new Henry. In this comparison to me the Henry is a no brainer. The only thing is that Henry rimfire rifles have diecast receivers. (not steel). That's why the receivers are painted not blued. The die cast receivers are very strong and proven. Steel is just a preference for me. But in this case, I would have no qualms about buying the Henry pump.

So I have the Rossi version but it’s an older version and I believe it to be more metal parts and probably a little better build quality than this Rossi. It is a beautiful gun, lightweight and I’ve never had a single issue with it. It functions flawlessly whether the gun is dirty or clean! I would not trade it for anything in the world! When I held one of these Henry’s in a local store, it was extremely hard to pump the gun and function the action. Like she said in the video I’m sure it will break in and not have an issue but I also noticed a gun was heavier! I truly believe Henry is a better build quality and definitely a nicer rifle aesthetically, but is it worth 300 more dollars? That will be up to the person buying it. I handled one of these new Rossi‘s and a local store, and I can definitely tell a difference from my old Rossi compared to the new one. The new one does feel different, so if you already have a couple 22 caliber rifles and you’re just looking for something fun or something for your kid to learn on the Rossi would be great because it’s lighter weight and easier to handle than the Henry. However like she said, if you’re looking for a more long-term and pass the rifle down to your children etc. and may be a little better accuracy, the Henry would be the way to go. Great video by the way :-)

Revolvers Turned Me Off Because How Freaking Loud They Are Due To That Space Between Barrel And Cylinder. Bolt Action Rifles Meh. Lever Actions I Could See Fatiguing My Top Of Hand. The Pump Is What I After I Just Wish There Was More Options. I Shot The Rossi. It Can Get Some Weird Hard To Pump Situations When You Don't Properly Fully Pump Them Back. Also The Pump Wood Grooves Are Deep And Kind Of Sharp Giving You Blisters Pretty Early I Feel. I Had No Idea On Henry's Lifetime Warranty Which Might Actually Lean Me Twords It Now

A pump action 22 was not even a glimmer in my eye until I saw the Remington fieldmaster 572 at the pawn shop. Then I knew that I had to have it. I had a bad experience buying a new Rossi Rio Bravo lever action because of the low quality steel that chipped out around the muzzle. Maybe you'll get a good one. I did not. American made is worth the extra money in my book. Even buying a good used American gun is worth spending the same amount as a new one from Brazil, or in my case, I spent an extra hundred on the Remington over what I paid for the Rossi.
@SteveSmith-ol7ko Жыл бұрын
The Rossi is a P.O.S.!! The receiver is Zmak pot metal and the barrels will literally BREAK OFF if any sideways pressure is put on the receiver when the end of the stock and end of the barrel is resting on something solid. _ Ask me how I know! Google it, or look here on KZfaq for examples of the barrel breaking off / receiver defect - which is not covered by the warranty. I bought 2 for my grandsons, one didn't even last a year. Buy a Henry - there is no comparison in the quality/ construction of these two rifles.

i had the choice of a $265 henry large-loop, lever-action carbine, a $200 rossi lever-action carbine and a $200 rossi pump-action rifle all in 22lr at my lgs four years ago. the henry was a dinged, “new old stock,” floor model thus a bit lower-priced than normal. the rossi rifles felt decidedly cheaper and flimsier when racking the action. henry versus rossi is like ruger versus heritage, you get what you pay for. i wish this review had gone into more detail comparing each’s slide action and had fieldstripped each. it was a bit superficial.

Sadly, both these models are cheap imitations of the Winchester model 62. Neither is a "take-down" model and both aren't solid steel action housings. My Rossi model 62 is from 1982 and has the 16.5" barrel, it's a true take-down with captive screw. Mine IS all steel and was imported by Interarms of Virginia. My Rossi is top eject not side eject like these two. It shoots short, long and LR fodder interchangeably. it has no disconnector so slam fire is possible for really fast shooting. My Rossi has mahogany stocks and though a scope (optics) can't be attached, you can add a swell Williams type peep sight behind the hammer to increase the sight radius from eleven inches adding a few more, mine also has only the halfcock safety. With over 20,000 rounds thru my Rossi I'd say it's durable. Hell, it's lasted me over forty years. Never a jam, stovepipe or failure due to rifle function (rimfire ammo can have duds). My Rossi cost $120 back in '82. Don't buy this cheap (certainly not price-wise) trash. Get yourself an original Rossi 62-SAC carbine. It's worth every penny. If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'. Fuhgeddaboudit.
