Funny you say that, I took the gun to the a range today with my daughter, her first time with a 'real' gun. She has shot a .22 pellet gun quite a bit, so she knew the ropes.
The Henry shot well. I pulled it out of the box, and shot a nice little group....10 inches to the right of the bullseye.
I had read that you have to cycle them with authority, or they will fail to feed, and that is the case. It doesn't have to be really fast, but it does have to be done as one smooth motion. Once I got the feel of it, all good.
Recoil was bigger than I expected. Gun is short and the weight is moderate. Great little gun in a tight blind. I hate to desecrate the classic lines with a scope, but that is indeed what's going to happen. Next shopping trip: Moderately priced 3x9.
