I've had my two Henrys (one in 22 and the other in 357) for years and I just bought a Rossi Rio Bravo last week. I'll just say that if I had run into a Rio Bravo years ago I wouldn't be owning two Henrys today. Henry is a better looking gun, but the Rio Bravo shoots just as good for less money. Maybe better because of the fiber optic sights. On a side note, it looks hot out there! Maybe y'all can build a little roof over that shooting table.
I purchased a Rossi Rs22 thinking it would'nt be much for $125 but it hasn't let me down yet. It shoots better than most 22 rifles that are more money and the fiber optic sights are top notch.
i got that polymer stock rossi carbine leaver action rifle i love it , it has run good with every type of bulk box ammo i put in it from Remington to Aguila to Winchester to cci mini mags to there short low velocity ammo in it as well i will say it isn't as fancy and nice as the henry classic 22lr but it works well for what it is great video it gets a thumbs up sir
Fun video! I like the Henry a lot and I extremely like the “count“ reference with the laughing while you’re loading the bullets. I to do that often when I’m counting
I own a Henry like yours, bought it for 189.00 at LGS years ago. I shoot the CCI 40 grain SGB and its pure poison with it. I've taken loads of small game and the occasional groundhog with it. Really enjoyed your video
I came here to this YT Channel because I am about to buy one or `toher`. I said to myself, `this guy looks like a` no BS type of reviewer, then I saw the Henry hat and an acknowledgement that he a fan of Henry rifles.( my opinion went to the cellar`) However I see that he is also driving a Nissan Frontier, so as I think that these truck were tops in their day, ( I owned a few Nissans in my day, and liked them all ) my thinking told me, `this boy can`t be all bad, I`ll stay and watch and listen. Now I know a few more things about these two lever rifles, to help me make a decision. Thanks for this, and remember, the next time you`re shooting with an AR, learn to duck! 🤣
I just got back from the store (checking out ammo), and they had a new Henry there for $299. Nice little gun! If I didn't have my share of .22's, I would've snapped it up.
I have 2 Rossi R92's, one in 454 Casull and the other in 357 Magnum, both stainless steel 20" models. My brother has a Henry X Model in 357 also, nice rifle. I've shot both extensively and IMHO the Rossi is a much better value. They both my rifles are smooth, have great triggers, fit and finish is excellent and we both have found the Rossi is more accurate. IMHO that is why the R92 is the choice of CASS shooters. Because of that there are more accessories available for those rifles than any other and all that for half the price of a Henry. I've handled and shot the Rossi Rio Bravo 22 and found the same features as the larger rifles and for the cost the Rossi's have to be the best bang for the buck out there.
I have the Rossi r92 tripple black in 38/357 , it has a 1/30 in. Rate of twist.... Which apparently is 100fps slower than the Henry with the same loads??..... My Rossi cycles smooth out of the box, I am happy with the performance. And it's a very good utility tool. Very convenient for the bush.
I gave my Henry .22 Lever gun to my son in law. A good man who deserves a good rifle. Now, I am without a .22 lever action rifle. I have looked at several others but I am going with another Henry.
I have the rio bravo in both 22lr and 22 mag i love these little rifles i have the synthetic versions with the fiber optic sights. They just catch the eye better for me
I completely agree about the plastic components, safety and Henry being superb rifles. I believe that a Comparison/vs. Video would be more relevant if it were Old Rossi vs. New Rossi......I'm curious how the new Rossi Gallery vs. Rossi 62. My experience is the Older Rossi revolvers outshine the Braztech Rossi's
I have a Rossi 62 S,L,LR and a 59 Mag, and both are great shooters and loads of fun! Well made too, all steel. Much nicer than those new gallery .22's they make now.
esquad 540, I agree that the Henry's do seem a little higher quality. I don't own either, i only know what i know from reading spec sheets and hearsay. But if i may share my thoughts; Where I live, It is very VERY humid, all the time. You damn near need gills to breathe outside, it gets so humid. A lot of people don't like polymer furniture, but I do. And the plastic furniture Rossi Rio Bravo has a few attractive features. Fiber optic sights, Mlok Rails, and even picatinny rails on certain models. I like these features so much that I'm seriously considering owning one. While I would bet the Henry might withstand really heavy use better. But so far, the Rossi has yet to show a reason that it would let me down if used with common sense and care. and plus, I'm probably going to fire less than 50 rounds out of it per year, Because I use 22LR firearms sparingly. While it may not be for everyone, I think the Rossi Rio bravo would be a good fit for my desires.
I own a henry, and your right it is a wonderful rifle. It is missing one thing though! It does not have Browning's short 60 degree throw lever. And I don't understand that, Browning's patent on that has got to be over with???????????????
The Rossi has a cross-bolt safety because the ATF has taken it upon themselves to create a regulation requiring such a safety on anything being imported. Section 922r. It's a stupid regulation for the reason you pointed out.
I got both the Henry is the better of the two as far as looks and probably built better but that don't mean the Rossi looks bad or is cheep made I just prefer Henry's over any other lever action guns
You do a review of Henry v Rossi while wearing a Henry hat... granted you do say that your a fan.... so at least you're honest about your bias. The Rossi is currently $279 from Buds and Henry is over $400. I like the Henry but the point of a review is to see how it performs. My Rossi carbines have great triggers... you seem to have a dislike of Rossi products... so it is what it is. So it shoots good - like the Henry. I guess it depends on if you are OK with the polymer parts. I am. The other reviews of the Rio Grand I've seen have all been good. Thanks for the review.
@@kordi7888 Where is it on sale for $300? I don't see that. Lowest I see is $334 plus shipping and of course, transfer fee. About $50 more than best priced wood Rio Bravo's. I do like Henry.
I have been in the market for a nice lever action .22 and the Henry seems to be the one. I have a Winchester semi automatic and a Marlin model 60 but no lever action.
Making them cheap as possible but sure dont like the plastic on end of tube loader years down the road it may break Thankfully Henery still making rilfes out of metal Sad Rossi keeps going cheaper
Too much plastic on this…. Might have to sell the one I got and put the $$ towards a Henry…. Was given to me when my uncle passed away. It looks like he never even shot it 😢
When you're out shooting or hunting the game or target doesn't care if there is some plastic on the gun. If it works well and shoots strait, the rest is just window dressing.

I just started the purchase process on a Rossi RB…I have a 10 day wait and background check…update to follow
TEN DAYS!!! What nazi S%&T hole you living in?
Thanks for the video
The Rossi isn't to bad but I'll stick with my Henry
Me two.
Honest review..thanks!

I would as well. The Henry is much better.
Can’t argue they’re the best for a reason

I have two Henry's, one in regular .22 and one in .22 Mag. I prefer shooting them rather than my Marlin 39A.
Get rid of that marlin and get another HENRY!😃👍

Arr this is your buddy Joel doe Joe out on the burger gun range
Never been to the Burger gun range. They say it's nice.
Very cool
great vidio sir i like both of them dollar value i guess buy what you can afford
I got both the Henry is the better of the two as far as looks and probably built better but that don't mean the Rossi looks bad or is cheep made I just prefer Henry's over any other lever action guns
Why would you buy it if it looks bad and feels cheap?? Makes no sense! And my Rossi Bravo feels wells made and preforms the same
A whole whopping 15 yards? Could have just walked up and stabbed that target with a pencil. Joking. Great video, thank you... 👍
Pencil don't make the same kind of hole.
I have all of those too. The best lever action is a Marlin Levermatic. You need to get your hands on one of them to truly compare lever action 22's.
Thanks for sharing buddy. Thumbs up!~John
SARGE looks minute of squirrel head accuracy to me.
That's a good one MOS LOL!
I have a Chiappa lever gun from Italy and it doesn't have a manual safety.
it may have some sort of half cock safety, or a screw on the hammer you can adjust to make it not able to strike

Well it didn't blow up or melt
It looks like it shot like a shotgun to me
I would never buy one because of all the plastic
All the plastic, It was just the muzzle and forearm band?
