Great guns for the money. Smooth action and good accuracy. I have the .22 mag version. Add a scope!

That’s one of those guns that goes to your kids, then to you grandkids, to their kids, on and on....
Great guns. ETA- Congrats on retirement. |

Depending upon how your eyes are, either add some type of peep sight, Lyman/Williams/Skinner. Skinner's look real nice. I have a Williams on mine. It's not as elegant as the Skinner, but it's easier to adjust.
Or, stick a red dot on it. |

Tips? Buy ammo.
Henry sells metal parts to replace the plastic parts, used to be pretty cheap. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tips? Buy ammo. Henry sells metal parts to replace the plastic parts, used to be pretty cheap. I have a few thousand rounds, and i buy more every time i find it on sale. Recently found CCI standard velocity for .06 /rd and bought 500 rounds. I have > 7000 rds in the safe, but could always use more..... |

I just couldn't put an optic on a cowboy gun. |

I think it will hold 22+1 shorts if I remember correctly. A small single slot picatinny adapter like this and a small red dot like a Burris Fastfire turns fun into fun on a bun. If it is something that you are into, Midwest Industries makes an Mlok handguard for them. |

Interesting history of this rifle. Designed by Louis Imperato, father of Anthony (of Henry Arms) Louis Imperato invented the action and then sold the patent to Ithaca. Ithaca had Erma in West Germany build them Later, Louis bought the patent rights back (2005) In 1996, with his son, he started the Henry Repeating Arms Company.
There's a screw on the shell lifter that can be adjust if having feeding issues. Little research can save you trouble. Enjoy your retirement. CD |
