Possibly looking for another henry

Post by james89 » Thu Sep 10, 2020 12:03 pm

I'm thinking of getting a .22 and was looking at Henry's. It's funny that a nice .22 costs more then my 45-70 but I don't know what's going into all that price wise. anyone have a favorite among the Henry .22 line up?

I have several. I have the older Oct barrel with large loop lever that I like but the small game carbine in either barrel length is a great choice in my opinion. The Golden Boy is a favorite for its brass look but the drop in the stock doesnt give me a good cheek weld. So if you are looking at that one you might want to shoulder it before you buy one.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I was looking at the OCT barrel. I have a golden boy .30.30 that's also oct barrel, And I like them alot. Although if I'm going golden boy again I needed something that will be different then the .30.30. I totally agree you should touch it before you buy. I have 2 rifle that are so different there both my favorite right now but the stocks rest differently and I one is more comfortable

My 2 favorites are the Frontier H001T and the Frontier Long Barrel H001TLB, both are great shooters.

I have a Golden Boy 22 but like Al I prefer my small game carbine with the peep sight. Also like my 22 pump.

Thanks for the recomendations everyone. A 22 is going to be nice. It should help my aim and love of shooting. The magic kinda fades when you realize 45-70 is rare and 2$ a round and the 30-30 just vanished in my area lol

I would recommend the H001 Classic as a first Henry 22. However the pump would also be a good choice. Now that I think about it there are no bad choices.

That's why I'm getting opinions, I was looking and Henry has like 6 .22 AND a full line of tributes. How do you choose?

The Classic H001 is beautiful.
