Default HENRY fire arms advertises on Bill-O Fo**ews

Last night I thought I was watching the Outdoor Channel when Henry Arms came on the commercial! I thought, WHAT?! That was the FIRST time in my entire life I ever saw a gun mfg advertise on TV other then the Outdoor Channel. I thought, way, way COOL!

I bet, just bet, that they sell a good bunch of lever action, all American, rifles. I also bet that other gun mfg's will soon follow suit. Hey, why not? Now's the time to buy right?

How much do you think it cost Henry to advertise on Bill-O? Oh yah, they advertised again tonight as well.

Cool, very cool.

Joe

I saw that last night and commented on it to my wife.

I saw Bass Pro shop advertising on Fox earlier today - they were advertising their Fall hunting stuff and specifically mentioned/showed a Remington shotgun and Savage rifle.

Godd stuff and hope they keep it up.

I saw it too. If I need another lever-action 22 you bet it'll be a Henry!

They were on Fox Business News as well I believe. It was either Fox Business or CNBC. I can't remember which I was watching at the time.

I like them so well, that I bought one, my wife tried shooting and liked it, and confiscated it. So I had to buy another one, this time the short carbine with the big loop lever for me and gave her my standard .22 rifle. Great little guns for the money; everything on them is American sourced, manufactured, and assembled. Here's Mrs. jframe holding her new toy.....

There have been days when the RTN (Retro TV Network on digital sub channel) has been nothing but Henry Arms commercials in the afternoons.

It's not terribly expensive to advertise on niche programs.

These are really great guns and they stand behind them. Anthony Imperato is the president of Henry Firearms. Over on rimfirecentral.com they have a forum for Henry and he has placed his personal e-mail addy on the sight for anyone that has a question or a problem. I had an older one that had plastic pieces inside that would cause it to jam occasionally. He sent me a tag to ship it to them and totally replaced the guts in the gun with the metal pieces the are using now. No problems since then. He is really a stand up guy. I would recommend these guns to everyone.

I sent Anthony a condolence e-mail when his dad died...we got to talking a bit back and forth and I told him I bought my Browning Hi-Power and model 60 from his shop, Jovino, back in the early eighties....he asked for my address and a few days later I received a henry hat and coffee mug....classy guy...

A couple of weeks ago my Dish Network had a Henry commercial inserted into a CNN newscast.

I've even seen the Henry commercials on MSNBC - as well as CNN and Fox. I think the commercials differ by cable-broadcast-dish. Since most people with dish are rural, we see more commercials like the Henry rifles on even more channels.

Outstanding company and product. I also have a large loop .22 carbine, and it is the smoothest out of the box lever gun I've ever had. The only one smoother is a custom Rossi done by Steve Young in Texas. Henrys are all made in America with all American parts, and when you email them the President does answer. Class company, great products, and excellent customer service.
