Being prepared for the unexpected is an important part of enjoying the great outdoors. But pulling together a set of supplies that's useful, portable and affordable can be a challenge. While some folks would rather assemble their preparedness gear from scratch, others are looking for a ready-to-use solution.

One company I hadn’t thought of when shopping for an emergency kit was Henry Repeating Arms. As it turns out,

$99 just for the survival kit they who are they saying that's affordable to?
$I could do a fully stocked bob for less then that.

Has anyone ever shot one of those AR-7s? I really like the design.

That's what the experts told me about my $99 Mossberg plinkster. The experts were wrong! Best hundred bucks I ever spent.

I like every gun Henry makes! Someday, I will have one of each of them. But for now, I am happy with my Henry Big Boy.

When each and every individual part is American made, there is a certain labor cost involved.

Anthony Imperato is a classy guy.
At the 2015 VFW national convention he not only presented rifles, but also donated $50,000 in honor of his late father, a Korean War vet. Read the story at the link to see what other causes Henry Rifles supports. With merchandise and cash.

A decade ago, I bought a Henry 22LR lever rifle. Brand new out of the box it had a problem with the extractor. So, I called the phone number listed on the enclosed instruction book. Mr Imperato himself answered the phone. Think the president of General Motors would?
Anthony passed the call to the proper department, I explained my problem, they said "no problem, just send it in". I explained that I didn't really feel comfortable trusting my rifle to the mail, so head of the shop told me he would send the part, no charge, and gave me his personal phone number so he could walk me thru installation when it arrived.
That experience made me a CUSTOMER FOR LIFE.

On rimfirecentral forum, under Henry Rifles, you can ask questions of The Man himself.
I would love to work for a boss like him.

You are better off with a 10/22 Takedown.

We knew a guy with a 10/22 take down cool in thought but still 2 times bigger then the Henry or Marlin takedown.

Yes, but reliability is way better with the 10/22.

My ole ladys 10/22 carbine is unstoppable.

I cannot speak for the Henry 22's, but my .357 carbine was a real fussy eater until it got broke in (around 500-1000 rounds). Since then, I can feed it anything without a problem. But when it was new, it was a real bitch.

I would like to get a Golden Boy for my grandson. But I think I going to buy him a used one - partially for the money but mostly because I do not want his first shots from it to be such a pain to work the lever.

Just the AR-7 I heard wasnt all that and a bag of chips. I'll poke around tomorrow and se if I can find the sourc of the complaints.

Get this one, and you'll never go wrong.
Mine is a Youth Model, shorter barrel and shorter length-of-pull. I like it because it is fast handling. I'm 6' 3" and it fits me fine.

If I ever get another gun, it will be another one of these, in 22 WMR

Good review from hickock but if I get a Henry it's gonna be the 44mag lever action. Been on my wishlist for a while now
