Well,,, I beat the snot out of my Henry, and I gotta say it's one of the most accurate and reliable rifles I've ever owned. Granted, they aren't the collectible heirloom Henry would have you believe (and I'm not so sure Marlin or Winchester are any more either), but for the price, they're a pretty good value IMO.
As far as gumming up goes, I haven't experienced that problem. Mine doesn't set in the safe or closet either, it rides in the rack in my truck 365 days a year, see plenty of hard use during Cat season, and even sees some time in the Gopher patch with nary a hick up. I clean it once a year whether it needs it or not.
Only draw back I can see if you live somewhere with stupid gun laws is the tube feed. Here in ID we can have all the rounds we want in the gun as long as there isn't one in the chamber so I keep the ten round mag full and never worry about forgetting ammo or losing a magazine.
Yea, we can all set around and nit pick and find fault with every gun out there if we try hard enough because the truth is none of em are perfect, but I still say a lever action 22WMR's about as handi and versatile as it gets and I'm betting you'll be happy with one.
From Cats to Gophers.
That's a pretty wide spectrum IMO.
