[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Opinions on the Henry lever gun in 22 LR?

Posted: 7/20/2013 1:47:50 PM EDT

Held one today. Seemed to be well made and I love the straight grip stock on it.

$300 new.

Is this a good lever gun?

I have one and enjoy it greatly. Well built enough for me. But mine was $269 new at my local cabelas.,this was a little after Christmas 2012.

I just got a H001T, which is the slightly longer, octagon barrel version.

Haven't been out to shoot it yet ($45/brick for .22lr? Blah...), but the action is super smooth.

Like, I can cycle it with the hammer down using just my pinky smooth.

The sights on mine are real nice, but I'm probably going to add a Marble's tang sight.

Picture related, along with it's little brother, a 5.5" fixed-sight Single Six convertible.

We've got a Golden Boy, shoots 22 shorts, longs, and LR. Nice wood and nice fit and finish, and smooth action. It's accurate also. American made to boot.

I bought one for my daughter several years ago. It's my...er...her favorite gun. Actually it is really pleasant to shoot. Butter smooth and nut hair accurate.

roy d...won't ever sell it

I've had mine for a couple years. It works just fine and is fun to shoot.

I really enjoy seeing how fast I can crank it on steel plates.

Buy it, you'll like it!

Love mine. Quite accurate.

Is the front sight connected to the front band? Can you replace the front sight?

I also have a H001T Frontier model and it shoots great. Very smooth action, nice looking, and pretty accurate. A good value for the money and its made in the USA from US materials.

My old Marlin Golden 39A is a much better rifle though.

I have one, the blued big loop version. Its OK. Its cheap, and crude, but it seems to shoot fine. I leave it in the truck, and its beat to hell.

It is most definitely not a 94/22, Marlin 39, or BL22.

I just bought a Golden Boy and I've got to say, it's a heck of a nice rifle for the 400 it cost. It's made at least as well as my 9422 and better than my 39A. It operates about the same as my 9422 and a lot more reliably than my 39A. I am really impressed with it. I love octagon barrels and the only thing I would like to see is a 24" barrel instead of the 20" it is very similar to the 9422 in the way it handles and shoots. It's accuracy is on a par with the Winchester and a bit better than my 39A. Very good fit and finish, better wood than either the Winchester or the Marlin 39A. Not as nice as my Marlin 1897 CL but still a great buy. I couldn't be happier.
