Henry to introduce shotguns in January 2017

[RetiredSeabee]

Is there a picture of the shotgun coming out soon?

I did not see one on the HENRY website with their other firearms.

We are very interested in the HENRY shotgun.

Thank you.

No photos out yet that I can find. Here is a link to the video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=you ... nJK8hlD_NY
The shotguns are introduced at 19:55
They will be available in January so I expect to see them on the website in December.

I was able to get a "quick glance" on the video of the 20-ga single-shot Anthony Imperato showed us. I liked the break-action config, and it has a (for me the best) front bead sight. So I wrote to him last weekend and asked some specific questions. He answered me with a "boiler plate" paragraph, similar to his intro on Henry TV. But he said he would follow up on my questions, too.

A day or so later I got this note from the Henry Gen Mgr with the info I asked about the barrel and chokes for this single-shot. And since I like wood furniture a lot, I was glad to see his comment about the s/g wood. Not a lot of info yet, but thought I'd post this here for everyone:

Our model H015-20 Henry Singleshot 20 ga will sport a 26" barrel with Modified choke supplied by Briley. This is one of the best chokes in the market today and it will bear the Henry name but is also compatible with Remchoke which are widely available in other choke options. This gun will have nice wood with the fit and finish we all expect from Henry. Thank you for interest in Henry. We look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,
Andy Wickstrom, General Manager
Henry Repeating Arms

I appreciate the previous responses for past uses of single shot shotguns. What are the uses today? Best use I can think of today is teaching a new shooter with something safe and simplistic.

We've got a single shot New England Firearms 12 ga "Pardner" we have used as a general "farm" gun for the last 15 yrs. We also use it to shoot clays in a hay field (poor man's trap). It's about the most basic/simple shotgun I've ever seen. I think it was about $89 from Walmart back in 2000. It kicks like a mule because it is so light, but my daughter-in-law likes it because it is alot easier to hold and control than our over/under 12 ga Stoeger. I would think that a 20ga single shot Henry would also be a fun,lightweight gun to shoot at clays - especially for those who want a little less kick than a 12 ga. I'd consider getting one for clays and to mount over the fireplace if it looks like the other brass Henrys....

As tractordad wrote, I'd use if for trap (clay) shooting also. My Benelli PUMP 20-ga has a magazine cap of 5 rounds. But both trap ranges I shoot at allow only one round in the gun at any time. I'd think PUMP (that's what the name is for my s/g) would be heavier than a single-shot, but will need to see what Henry builds. That's why I'm thinking about one. Plus it's a Henry, and a first-time shotgun on the market. Cool!

My step son and I both have single shot .410s that we use for squirrels. I have used my dad's 20 ga single shot on pesky crows around the farm (in season of course)

Is there a crow season?

I could see using it for trap if set up properly (long barrel, vented rib, etc.).

There is in NY. I abide by it. They decimate the indian corn and a few others like the popcorn. They are smart birds.

We have a November 1st -- March 3rd open crow season here in MO.
No limit.

Along with the firearm types allowed, crows can also be taken by falconry.

Falconry, now that's cool. I can certainly see why agricultural areas would support crow hunting I just never considered it. A Henry shotgun would be perfect! Or a falcon!!!!
