What I found to be helpful in cutting down the recoil, was going to a 300g bullet at 1800 fps.

Mags, brilliant diy idea. The additional padding would probably work wonders under a lace on or slip on pad. Thanks!

Ya it would be out of sight too. Pipe insulation isn't the most gorgeous thing to put on a Henry.

Welcome, Dadio, from the Show-Me-State!

Glad also you found the HRF....enjoy! I know you've already found a number of helpful Folk affording you their sage advice and experience.
That a very nice Henry rifle/caliber you have there. I've shot my son's-in-law .45-70, but very few rounds. Never got to the point of needing "recoil recovery!" Take care.

Cast lead 300 or 405gr going 1300fps work on most North American game.
Not near as brutal.

I would to change my ammo, before I modified my gun.

If you reload, making low recoil ammo is a no brainer.

I have a shotgun shooting vest with a recoil pad on the shoulder. I wear it when shooting heavy recoiling rifles at the range. ( and when shotgun shooting or bird hunting) It works pretty well and I don't have to modify or hang stuff on the gun.
