Re: Single Shot Rifle Calibers.....
Have to admit, it's been a long, long time since I've seen a gun company announce so many new products for the upcoming year as Henry has and so many of them classics. For an old traditionalist like me, very exciting. Love it.

Re: Single Shot Rifle Calibers.....
If Ruger does drop the #1 HRA looks to be ready to fill the void that is good news to me and the neat thing is the new HRA look so good as opposed to the H&R's of the past. If they shoot as well as past single shot we will all have a winner.

I agree... they really do look like quality firearms. The simplicity will keep the costs down. Should be a lot of fun to shoot at the range.
If shooting from a bench, this style of rifle makes a lot of sense.

Re: Single Shot Rifle Calibers.....
Does anyone have experience with one? I'm curious as to the accuracy, one in .243 would be a great varmint/deer rifle.
I'm glad to see Henry fill the gap H&R left, I'm hoping they'll shoot really well they are affordable.
Thanks.

Re: Single Shot Rifle Calibers.....
Is it too early to start lobbying for additional cartridges? I think not! When I saw the release about the Henry single shots, about the only one that hit the "need it now zone" was the 45-70. I have a Brno SS .308 already, the .243 doesn't scratch an itch, so a .223 probably makes the futures list. Still, a .22 Hornet would also be interesting, maybe a .257 Roberts, a 7mm-08 (7 x 57 Mauser ?) or one of the 6.5 family (6.5 x 55?), and a medium bore, like .338 Federal (my vote ), a .358 Win.or .375 Win. (38/55?) would give us some more tires to kick. After all, Ruger made a career out of chambering No. 1's in a variety of rounds.

Re: Single Shot Rifle Calibers.....
I am really hoping to see a 45 Colt. Yeah, I could always order up a custom 45 Colt barrel for my TCs, but I'd rather have the 45 in a dedicated single shot, rather than mess with having to change barrels. I suspect, though, that other cartridges are ahead of it on the list of future chamberings. I will absolutely be getting one of these new Henry single shots in the first run, though.
