There's nothing wrong with the Henry at all, if you like that design, buy it!

I picked out a nice 16" stainless Rossi 44 mag.
I budgeted and planned on slicking it up some, having grown accustomed to a mid 50's Marlin.
Once I got it in hand and cleaned out, it felt good enough I didn't think I need bother. A little grit in the trigger, but for a 150 yard and in deer/hog rifle it's good to go.
I think one of my shooting buddies is planning one in 454 Casul, and another friend wants his in 357 after we spent an afternoon plinking away at the gong with it.
I might add a peep sight.
I have seen people mount a red dot up front, which I think would be a better solution than a LER scope. It might look nontraditional, but I think it's more inline with what a pistol caliber carbine is capable of.
I've only fed mine 44mag, no specials, but it's run just dandy with 200gr RNFP's to 240gr Winchester White Box softpoints. I really appreciate the stainless steel. It adds to the very hardy utilitarian look and feel of the carbine.
Don't be afraid, get the Rossi. The reports of it NEEDING slicked up are overstated. But the option is there and easy if you want/need it.
