Used H001 for $225

Thank you everyone for the welcome and advice.

I saw a Henry H001T and love the octagon barrel. It is priced at $343 New in Box, but will sell for $320+ tax. So if you could only pick one which would choose and wh

Woops the H001 is $278 + tax! H001T $320 + tax. Help me decide. Pros and cons between both ?

Personally, I like the trim and handy H001, but it definitely a personal choice.

Not sure there is much in terms of pros versus cons on these two models, Retired C.O. Both are Henrys, and are the foundation of their rimfires.

I have a .22LR in a yet different model, but that was my personal choice. What you like is the key factor. Following would be the only decision I'd need to make, because the prices are really quite close and not a major concern.

They are strikingly similar other than the one major difference -- the octagon barrel on the H001T. Your choice would be based on "looks." This barrel definitely has a very cool appearance to it; but the round barrel looks fine also. Attached to the octagon barrel is that the H001T is heavier by 1.25 lbs. Although 6.5 lbs. total, the H001T is not a heavy rimfire rifle. The only other difference I can see in the rifle stats is that the H001T has an OAL that is 2" longer.

The first Henry I ever shot was an H001 with the round barrel, which my son-in-law let me have/shoot for a couple of years. Lots of bullets went downrange, accurate, and it was a lot of fun. I now have an SGC with an octagon barrel. Again, lots of bullets go downrange, accurate, and it is a lot of fun.

So, which do you like better --- a round barrel or an octagon barrel?

Pros and cons between both ?

As PT7 notes, the biggest difference is weight, so start with that consideration, especially since neither model comes with sling studs, making mounting a sling a bit more complicated.
The second consideration is the front sight; the 001 has the hooded front, while the Frontier has the standard blade/brass bead. If you can hold both and experience both of those sight pictures (and evaluate the weight difference), the decision would probably be pretty easy for you.
Can't tell you what that decision will be, because, as also noted above, this all boils down to personal preference and comfort level with differences in look and feel.
Side-by-side handling is always best if you can make it happen!
Keep us posted and best of luck!

Go back to the pawn shop and drop two bills on the counter and tell him its your final offer on the Henry.
If he takes it problem solved.
If not buy the new one with the octagon barrel. You decided on the new one anyway so just take it to the next level and you wont be disappointed,

First, welcome. I came across this link that offers prices of firearms. From what I gather, a H001 in fair condition is valued at $150, and a H001 in very good condition is valued at $325. Since you mentioned dings, the very good price would not work for me. But, that is a relative thing. I would probably do as the others suggested if the price is not closer to $150 and buy a new one.

You can buy a new H001 cheaper than the $325 price listed for the very good condition model in that guide.
