Think about that statement for a sec there CI..."Not much over $400"....and what was it? A lever action .22!!! WAY over priced!! MSRP for a .44mag Henry is $900!! $900 for a lever gun??? Really?? Add $1000 to that if you want "deluxe" in the model name!!! Now I can see charging that for hand made exceptional craftsmanship and accuracy, but for a brass receiver that weighs a ton made on a CNC I just don't see it. Average of $650-700 for a Marlin that will more than likely shoot just as well, maybe even better, wont weigh a ton, and a whole lot less likely to leave it at home because you will be hunting in heavy cover and may get a scratch on it. Mind you this is just my opinion and everyone is free to spend their hard earned dollars how they wish. I just don't see the appeal of the Henry rifle at their price points.
