Henry Rifle Forums

I think I found this site or the early one back in July 2014 when I got my H010. Loved the rifle but by Feb 2015 the mag tube had failed and at the bottom of the world a repair or replacement was not available at the time so accepted the refund.

That money was spent on the only 1895 22" Marlin the importer had in stock. It is all good except for the barrel condition and I never was able to get it to shoot cast bullets, copper jackets shoot fine.

18 months ago the LGS got in a Henry H010AW $1895.00. I looked at it every time I called in. Living in New Zealand I am conditioned to high prices but this was too much for me. Last week in a moment of weakness I asked how much for me to remove it from there gun rack to free up space for something they can shift. $1600.00 and it now lives at my place with a Leupold VX freedom 1.5-4x20 fitted.

Starting to shoot cast, with the 420 gr FP plain base at 1380 fps into 1.5" at 100 yds pushed by 35.5 gr AR2207 (H 4198) more load development may improve this.

Very happy so far. Photos are all stored on my computer and dont want to load on this site.

Hi John. Welcome to the forum from the TV Oregon, USA!

Welcome!

BigAl52
Yes been hunting all my life shot my first rabbit age 6 (60 yrs ago) single shot Lithgow .22.Still have it and all my kids learned to shoot with it. Most of my hunting is for deer of which there are 7 species and feral pigs NZ has no season or limits on hunting game animals.A hunting permit is free and obtained on line in minutes this can cover specific areas or the whole country. No permit needed for private land small animal hunting or game animals.

Hi John. Welcome to the forum What are the rules like for gun ownership in NZ? I’ve seen some video from hunts there and it looks amazing. I’ve worked with many kiwis, but I never really chatted hunting with them.

Gun ownership laws work well in NZ. All firearm owners must be licensed, not the firearm so no limit as to how many can be held and no serial number linked to owner for hunting rifles,shotguns but a secure safe is required.The licence holder must first pass a police check .They will look into mental health criminal convictions for drugs and violence offending. A stricter test is required for MSSA rifles and handguns and a more secure safe. I have a collector licence which covers all weapons, with these licenses the serial numbers are recorded .It works well with very little gun crime from legal firearm owners.

Welcome from across the ditch.
Great that NZ never followed our lead on registration.

It sounds like a very similar system to Canada. We tried the registration for all guns, but it was a total disaster and eventually they changed the laws to only require handguns and certain semi auto military style long guns needing registration. There is almost no gun crime perpetrated by legal gun owners here as well, yet the current government seems to think if they take certain families of firearms out of legal public ownership, all gun crime will magically cease.

Welcome from Kansas City (Missouri). Congrats on a great Henry. This is a great place, so enjoy the great knowledge of a fine group of people.
