I was looking at Cabellas today and saw a Henry, Henry rifle and they were asking 2200 bucks. I bought my Uberti off of Armslist a few years ago in 45lc for 800 bucks. It got me to wondering is there really that much difference in quality?

I'm pretty sure you got a bargain!

I see the Uberti Henrys go for around 1350, I looked at the Henry , Henry and I just don't see the gun being worth 75 percent more.

Bought my Navy Arms, iron frame Henry for $1100 Some 10 years ago. Quality was surprisingly good except that the chamber was rough as that proverbial cob.

I see the Uberti which makes them for Navy Arms run around 1300 now. I got a great deal on my 45LC for 800.

Well, the Uberti Henrys are closer to the Henry than the Henrys.

They are just not made in the USA.

But... I live in Europe.

Note. I don't have a Uberti made Henry. Only a Uberti made 1873 carbine in .44-40. And I like it.

Uberti has been producing the quite accurate replica of the original Henry for some decades now. All I’ve seen and shot were excellent quality. While I haven’t owned one, we had several in our reenactment club some time back.

While I have no shooting experience with the US-made Henry, the ones I’ve looked at appear well-made and up to the same standard.

I don’t particularly care for the constant implication in Henry’s advertising that they have anything to do with Tyler Henry after whom the rifle is named. They don’t. It’s pure marketing. They were founded and grew selling .22 lever actions that sort-of looked like Henrys because of the brass receiver. Their relatively recently introduced “original Henry” is a replica, which is not any more “original” than Uberti’s.

And the Italians in Gardone have been making weapons since the Middle Ages. I don’t know whether the “Made in USA” really guarantees better craftsmanship that would justify the price difference.

Yup! The oldest firearm maker in the World who's still in business is called Beretta.
