It shoots very well as has a fair trigger but could use a little work.
I am considering a .243 barrel for mine as I am a fan of the .243 and have a kit built Santa Barbara Mauser in it.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Single Shot Number 6
not a rifle but my first shotgun was a H&R TOPPER 12ga 36" barrel with a full choke .... I bear hunted with it loaded 2 3/4" 00 Winchester buckshot but never had an opportunity to take a shot at a bear .... when it came to turkey shoots, it did prove to be one heck of a shotgun .. .. H&R most certainly made really solid rifles and shotguns

Re: Single Shot Number 6
I have been researching SB2 barrels and inquiring as to the common 'fitting' issue that had previously been something required by the 'factory' if a secondary barrel was wanted by an owner.My Son's first hunting rifle was an H&R Handi rifle in .243.
Well, (and as I thought) 'fitting' is typically very minimal and most have reported additional barrels fitting their actions perfectly with no additional work needed other than maybe some minor burrs or roughness removed or polished out.
I have founds some .357 barrels but the asking prices are astronomical and nothing I would consider. Some were not far off of a complete rifle.
I also had an afterthought on the possibility of a standard diameter barrel not fitting my forestock due to it being fit for the HBar of the .223 and leaving a gap.
As usual more ideas than action.....
