Are Single Shots Shipping Yet?

[ditto1958]

Does anyone have any updates on the single shots? This delay has been puzzzling, to say the least. I’m thinking Henry must be having some major design/manufacturing issues with these rifles.

I asked "Henry Arms" about this last week or so. Here was my reply from Patrick on 11/10/17

Good Morning Dale,

Thank you for your interest in Henry and for reaching out. After a few delays the Single Shots have started to ship to distributors as of last week. I can’t speak to specific orders but they should be hitting shelves shortly. Your best bet is to fill out this form and someone will reach out to you directly about availability
-------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I'm thinking they should be around soon! I'm interested in getting the .223

There are some brass single shots on gunbroker. There in 44 mag and 45-70. One of the 45-70's sure has some awesome wood on it. Al

Judging from the recent Q+A session I think Henry Repeating arms has been overwhelmed with the demand for their new products. Folks seem to be swarming for Henry's new style and old. I think they are having a hard time keeping up (catching up) with demand.

I think I might like the looks of the checkered model better than the brass model. On another forum there is a guy who has one and has already shot it in 44 mag. Im tempted to get one in 44 mag just because I need one. Al

I’m trying to diside if I want a single shot or lever in 45-70. Leaning towards the SS though. Wonder how they will shoot. Can’t wait for a range report on one. Hopefully they will be available for Christmas .

while I have no interest whatsoever in any single shot rifle, pistol, or shotgun, I'm also looking forward to range/use reports on Henry's single shot line of rifles .... out of the box our CCH 45-79 weighs 8.1 lbs .... add 4 rounds and it will be noticeably heavier .... their single shot (blued) 45-70 does come with a recoil pad and weighs 6.83 lbs + the weight of a single round .... based on firing ours, I believe the recoil of a single shot firing a full power round will be brutal at best .... a Cowboy Action load will have less recoil but will still be harder than the same round in a lever model .... it is most certainly going to be interesting to hear from folks who spend time on the range with these rifles

[Hidden Mortimer]

I also wonder how costumizable these rifles will be. Do you think we’ll have the option of adding different barrels like a bull barrel or a longer one?

[Squatch]

I doubt it. Not unless an aftermarket for Henry's kicks in. During the Q+A Anthony said the barrels are NOT interchangeable.

[ditto1958]

Hmmm... it’s interesting that there seem to be brass receiver models out there. I thought the steel ones were going to come first.

Ive been watching gunbroker every night for the single shots. I ran across this one tonight. Man does it ever have some nice wood on it. Its a 308 and I love that caliber but I dont really need a 308.

You aren't kidding about the wood on that one - someone got a pretty nice deer gun for $350 - if they are willing to take that nice piece of walnut into the woods...

[Yornoc3]

Yes, the are, since mine came today . I posted a quick assessment on the other thread.

[Hidden Mortimer]

Yornoc3,

I was wondering if you could tells us how the rifle balaces in you hands. Does it feel rear heavy, front heavy or just right.

[Yornoc3]

The rifle balances just behind the hinge pin, I'd say dead neutral. Adding a scope and mounts will probably make it slightly butt heavy, but not much with a light scope. Also, since I found some 45-70 snap caps, I can report that the trigger pull is a lot less than the weight of the rifle, in the 4 lbs range, I'd say. It's pretty crisp, too, no creep, just a little over-travel. I was surprised at that, I thought the safety features might make the trigger a bit "spongy" or "creepy".
I've been remiss on getting some pic.s up, but it's on my to do list .

Cabellas in Denver today. Two single shots. One in 223, another in 243. Beautiful rifles and very easy to handle, lightweight and quick to the shoulder. Very solid.

I am thinking the 243 will be my choice, since I don’t want to wait on the 270.

[JCN]

I'd buy the 45-70 today if I saw it....
