Both Henry's are .22's and I like them both, but I also have some Marlins from the 70's that're essentially identical. My Dad gave me that Henry as a surprise - and there is no returning a Henry - but if I'd been able to pick I'd have gotten the .357 Magnum model. It's down the list for me, but I may yet get one. Still waiting to get a Ruger 10/22 takedown and get in line for their silencer; a nice 1911 by Springfield Arms, and a knockabout synthetic .410 to carry in the truck/cart/UTV.
