I'd say that Henry is making waves in the industry.
I also thought that the Smith and Wesson reminded me of the all weather. Winchester's new entry reminds me of the H001.
I think Henry is making others look for a slice of the pie that Henry enjoys now.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: New player in the lever rifle world.....
I agree, Dave. Lever guns remain very popular. Back when Marlin went under and was bought out by Remington, I had my doubts about the future of lever guns, but I was obviously wrong, there. Now we're even seeing tactical lever guns, so that's a sure sign younger shooters have accepted them, too. No, I won't be buying a tactical lever gun, but it's a good sign that lever guns will be around for a long time.
Yes, Henry gets credit for showing there's still a market for lever guns and the fact that they've done it with lever guns still made in the U.S. is all the more remarkable.

Re: New player in the lever rifle world.....
I agree with NCG. Henry should get a lot of credit with keeping the lever action market going. And recently, Ruger also.
Henry got my interest a few years ago as Winchester's were way over priced and the Marlin's [newer] seemed to have a lot of issues.
Henry had what I wanted, .357/38 spl and .45 Colt at very reasonable prices with availability. Bingo! Haven't had any problems with those two, so Henry is what I went with and I'm glad I did. Having typed all that; I do indeed like my Win Ranger 30-30 and Marlin 39A. How about that!?
