I have a henry .44 mag/.44 special. I absolutely enjoy the hell out of it. Smooth action, nice buck horn sights that it comes with. It too has the side loading gate and tube load. Henry is a Great company.
I had two Henry's - 357 mag. & 22LR. I also have four Rossi's - two 357 mag & two 22LR. I like the Rossi's better. The Rossi brought the sites closer to my eyes than the Henry's do. It felt like I was holding it out farther from my body than the Rossi. Although all of them are good guns, I sold the Henry's to get the two extra Rossi's.
I got a rossi .. couldn't justify getting a higher end Henry for what I will use it for .. deer hunting in northwest ohio... " carring it through brush throwing in the back seat or bed of the truck. Out in the weather rain and snow..
@@jamesfenter916 And I actually like how the Rossi operates BETTER than Henry. I like the top eject, I wish my 22s did that too. (I have 4 Rossi's, 2- 357s, and 2-22s). The old west movies ALL have top eject and LOOK like my Rossi. None of those look like the Henry's.
I have three Rossi R92's - I really like them. Mine are all blued in three different standard calibers and three barrel lengths. That set me back about $1800 total. They are 1892 clones. So, if you like that model, then that's what they are. Mine are all very reliable and accurate. These are great for plinking, hunting and defensive uses. I did replace my flip safeties with a button - the half cock is plenty good for me. Nothing against Henry, I just like the 1892 JMB design. The removable tube feed is handy but I just don't like it and seems out of place on a centerfire carbine. I guess I'm a bit of a frugal traditionalist. Thanks for the review!
I have both a Rossi and a Henry, both are rock solid shooters. My Rossi is stainless steel and the Henry is all brass. The Henry does have a safety, the hammer has to be cocked and the trigger needs to be pulled in order to fire a round, if the hammer is down, it can not fire period. The safety on the Rossi does not bother me and because it's an import rifle, it is required to have that extra safety. If the safety bothers people, it is very easy to remove it and replace it with a cap or a peep sight from steves gunz. Yes the Henry is a better quality gun with a life time warranty, but the Rossi is not junk.
I have a 22 henry basic model and rossi 357 octagonal 24 inch stainless both have had to be sent in for repairs - love them both people at the range like the rossi
The safety on the Rossi is there because of import laws. The half cock safety isn't considered adequate on imported guns according to Gun Control Act of 1968.
I have a Rossi R92 357 in triple black. My son has 3 Henry’s. I took my Rossi apart, deburred everything and polished it. It’s way smoother than my son’s Henry’s. It shoots a half inch group at 25 yards. Haven’t got to shoot groups yet at 50 yards or 100 yards. Not everyone feels comfortable doing the work on their guns themselves. But in the end all of them benefit from the extra work.
I have the Rossi R92 in .357 magnum in the stainless grey laminate model. That particular model has the picatinny rail with the peep sight. I like having the ability to easily mount an optic or use the iron sights. The optic does have to be mounted forward because of the top ejecting brass, but I like it. Plus it was a lot cheaper than my Marlin 1895 SBL.
Henry refuses to make one model without tube load feature. This is why I have never bought a Henry lever gun. I like a solid tubular magazine under the barrel. Don’t like that brass, bronze, or whatever metal it is as part of the magazine tube. Another reason I dislike tube loading is because I will never use it. Back when Marlin came out with the solis wood Marlin Dark Series and Henry came out with their Henry X. The Marlin Dark was just so much better. It had more heft which realized less recoil. The Henry X forearm stock being polymer rattled loose every four or five shots. I am not knocking Henry. They do make decent lever guns, I just will never buy one because they have a hang-up about producing a lever gun with side gate loading only. Do not understand their reasoning since many people feel the same.
Equally Marlins arent very fast either not many are used in SAS because marlins design doesnt control the round very well. You can get the dreaded Marlin double feed which is always a game over malfuction. In slow mo you can watch the round come off the lifter and bounce around hell you can tip the gun over and the round will fall out.
Rossi has appreciated by a couple hundred. I have both as well but I wouldn’t trust the Henry in the bush due to the potential of the set screw under the bolt falling out with use.
This is a laughable topic if I'm being honest. The Henry is in a category light years from the Rossi. Every Rossi I have come in contact with the fit in finish was really bad and a lot of them have mechanical issues.
The Henry looks like a copy of a Marlin 94. Safety is an easy fix. Take it off and put one of Steve's buttons so we don't hear the incessant kvetching. 😇
i would think the henry is smoother with price and finish. have experience with rossi in black oxide and stainless. the stainless definitely runs better than the black oxide version. but can go wrong with either lever action. henry's have become more available and price improved over past year or so. you can actually get furniture from rossi for tac appearence.

The Henry is made in America, that what worries me, I love my rossi in 44 mag, but I know of 14 deer that hate it alot.😊
Well done !

What model Marlin lever gun is this? Never experienced such a thing so I am interested what model it was. Thanks.
If I’m going to spend that money for a Henry, I’ll go instead with a Marlin.
The only thing I don’t like about Rossi is the wood at times. Sucks
Rossi has appreciated by a couple hundred. I have both as well but I wouldn’t trust the Henry in the bush due to the potential of the set screw under the bolt falling out with use.
We haven’t had that issue but that’s an interesting thing to look out for.

Get a 454 casull or at a 44 mag. Go big or go home
Winchester

SORRY GET THE OPTICS OFF THE CLASSIC GUNS DONT BE THAT GUY
Rossi better slicked up Rossi also more accurate
Ya winchesters 1892 design is not as fast as the 73 or even the later 95s
