Dear Henry Rifle,

I purchased my first Henry rifle early in the year, a Golden Boy .22LR. My son and I finally had the opportunity to fire this wonderful piece of work. Previous to firing it, I admired the fit and finish of this nostalgic firearm. The ultra-smooth action begged to be worked. It is a beautiful rifle! After firing it, my appreciation of the firearms only grew to greater heights. I am not a marksman, but this rifle makes me feel like one. Out of the box, this was a very accurate rifle. It is now my favorite firearm I own. Here are a few pictures of my 13 year and I enjoying this new favorite gun.

Thank you Henry Rifle,

Hello Anthony, This Is the H001Henry 22 cal. rifle that I gave my son on his 11th birthday. This gun is a lot of fun for us to shoot and it also extremely accurate . With safety first we will have fun memories for a lifetime. The gun will make a great heirloom for him to pass on . Thanks for building such a quality gun.

Dear Anthony I got the Personalized Golden Boy. When I put that receiver on the rifle, I just can't tell you how it made me feel. I love the rifles you make.... Right here in the USA. My third Henry, more to come. Thank you.

Dear Anthony,

I thought you might like to have a copy of these photos... here is the story behind them.

My GG Grandfather, Carl Kobitz, was a Texas Ranger in 1871. He is buried in the family cemetery out on our ranch near Raisin, Texas (south Texas, between the towns of Victoria and Goliad).

There is an organization that was founded in the 1894 called the "Former Texas Rangers Association" - organized to be a social and support club for current and former Texas Rangers and their families. I am a proud member of that organization.

The Former Texas Rangers Association, in conjunction with the Texas Historical Commission, provides Texas Ranger grave markers for the gravesites of all former Texas Rangers, and this past weekend, I traveled to our ranch and set the marker for my Texas Ranger Great Great Grandfather who died in 1888.

After the marker was set, I wanted to take some photos of it to share with my family, and I just could not resist the temptation to lean my Henry rifle against the marker, next to the Texas Ranger cross.

We know that Carl Kobitz carried a repeating rifle, but we don't know if it was a Henry. Unfortunately, there are no photos of Carl with any guns, and none of his guns are owned by my family. We do know that he was a founding member of the Coletto Shooting Society, a gun club founded by the German immigrants who settled that area. We are trying to locate a photo of that club, and hopefully that will tell us if he owned a Henry or Winchester.

Finally, just waned to let you know how much I am enjoying that little .22 rifle. It shoots like a champ.

Sincerely,

I just purchased an octogon Henry 22 LR for my 10 year old grandson. It is amazingly slick, tight, and machined to good centerfire quality. It has heirloom written all over it. I've never seen a better built piece.

Hello, I have owned my H001Henry for over two years now and couldn't have been happier with the performance. I think the workmanship is next to none. This last fall my brother in law, Rocky Austin got his hands on my Henry and had to have one himself. His wife got him an H001 for Christmas and since then, weather permitting (we have had a rough winter up here in Maine!), he has been shooting up a storm. I am enclosing a picture of one of his targets and the picture speaks for itself!

All I can say is that I am 57 and have been shooting and hunting since I was 12. I own several firearms. I have Marlin and Winchester levers. I have NEVER bought a firearm that was as SMOOTH in the action and also never just took one out of the box and it be right on target. The little 22 octagon barrel buckhorn sites was a real pleasure to pull the trigger on that rifle. THANKS for keeping the quality. I will be in the future buying the engraved receiver for my little jewel 22.

Mr. Imperato:

I cannot thank you enough for helping the United States Border Patrol Pistol Team to find the perfect retirement gift for one of our most respected Agents. An Assistant Chief Patrol Agent stationed at Border Patrol Headquarters in Washington, D.C. recently retired after a long and dedicated career. The members of the Border Patrol National Pistol Team wanted to show our respect and gratitude to the Assistant Chief for all that he has done for the team over the years. The engraved Golden Boy with our pistol team's challenge coin embedded in the stock which was mounted on your display case was the perfect gift. The craftsmanship was flawless and the rifle was the envy of all that attended the retirement ceremony.

Thank You on behalf of all of the members of the Border Patrol National Pistol Team. With your help we were able to find the perfect retirement gift for an Agent who is greatly respected and will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

Dear Anthony Imperato, The photo enclosed shows a Henry Big Boy 44 Caliber after a morning of buffalo hunting near Troy, Idaho on January 26, 2008. The hunter, Dan Schuldheisz, received the Henry as a retirement gift following 40 years of teaching. Dan was able to use this special Henry in the hunt of a life time, bringing the 2200 pound buffalo bull to his knees with four shots at a distance of 41 to 70 yards. The bull was 7 years old and measured 27 inches between the tips of his horns. Thank you for manufacturing such a high quality firearm! This Henry has written a classic hunter's tale that I will cherish for a life time. In sincere gratitude,

Dear Anthony

I bought my daughter, Johanna, a Henry Minibolt for Her seventh birthday. I bought the Minibolt because the safety features of the little rifle really impressed me. Also it has avery smooth action that ejects empties very well. Johanna was most impressed that She can really hit with it! The Henry Minibolt is an all American rifle, And Johanna is an all american girl.
