I was at the range today with an Uberti 1860 Henry Rifle repro. Here's a little taste.

Cool. I like the vid; that rifle sounds great in the holler! I love how your hat catches the brass.

glad you are branching out. any of your video's are always great. I want you to do a video on breaking it down and cleaning it when you are done shooting it. I don't shoot black powder in them be cause I don't know how to do it.

Hi Mike

You look just like me. Or I look just like you, or something. What caliber? Mine is 44-40.

Hi Driftwood. Mine is also in .44-40

Have you been able to directly compare the Uberti Henry rifle to that made by the current Henry company? Quality, shooting, fit&finish?

I have. I have not taken the Henry Henry apart, but I have handled one twice now. I am very familiar with the Uberti Henry since it is my CAS Main Match rifle.

In my not so humble opinion, the finish of the Henry Henry is over polished. Lines and edges that should be sharp are rounded over a bit, and the whole thing is just too darn shiny.

Of course I am prejudiced, so take what I say with a grain of sand.
