I've got the .17hmr version, which is basically the same thing... with a smaller bore.  It's a tack driver for sure, even with the open sights.  The golden boys are a little heavy... but all that metal sure is pretty.  And tough.

I have a Henry Big Boy in .44 mag. This is a very well built firearm and the action is  smooth as butter. Very accurate out to about 175 yds. I hear the Golden Boy is every bit as good. Henry makes fine rifles in any model.
