I messaged youtuber TWANGnBANG yesterday asking if he will be doing a review of the Henry Single Shot. He indicated that it is on his agenda. I don't know which version or caliber, but it will be nice to see his video.

I watched the replay of Anthony Imperato's chat. In a question specific to the single shot rifles, he mentioned that there will be additional cartridges chambered. I recall mention of .357 Mag, 30/30 and 338 Federal. albeit the .338 federal will first be seen in the Long Ranger. He didn't say when, but it does sound like they're already planning ahead for future offerings in single shots. I recall mention of the 45 Colt, too, but he may have meant to say 45-70, if I remember the context correctly. It's a brave man who'll come out and chat "off the cuff" like that ;) .

Yes, I heard him say .45 Colt also, and if I remember the context correctly he was talking about calibers available now. I was wondering if he meant they would be releasing it in .45 Colt, but maybe he meant to say .45-70?

I am going to be all over that .357 when it is available for purchase.

I sent a question to Henry asking them if they were going to make it in 45 colt and this is the answer I got.

"Thank you for your interest in Henry and for reaching out. We do plan on expanding the Single Shot lineup in the near future. No word on specific calibers yet but keep an eye on us for any official announcement. Please let me know if you have any other questions."

kind of generic but at least it was sent promptly . Let's hope they do make it in 45 colt.

Les wrote:What is the reasoning behind a single shot centrefire rifle? I can understand single shot .22 target rifles, but I don't see any benefit in higher calibers.

What am I missing here? :? ;)

I sure hope that Henry expands their single shot line, that they sell really well, and the folks who buy them really enjoy them ..... that said, I'm with Les, I just don't see the attraction :?:

In the state I live in, there is a portion of deer hunting season that is dedicated to these types of rifles. So you get to hunt more days of you have one.

As I understand it, you have to be shooting black powder or single shot rifles that use a caliber with a straight wall case.

I wish that the powers that be would do that here. They allow seasons for crossbows and scoped muzzle loaders using sabots for jacketed bullets. From an actual performance point of view, how's that different from a single shot 45-70?

I think the use of single shot rifles is a fairly recent development here. At one time is was black powder only.
