The Small Game Carbine......

[fortyshooter]

I have thoughts of getting a .22 lever rifle and am drawn to the 22LR Small Game Carbine that Henry is offering.
Anyone here have one and how do you like it? Hopefully they will ship some out soon. Now if they could offer it in CCH that would be great!

Which Barrel length are you looking at Forty. I have one in the shorter barrel length and love it. But I also have the older version that came out with the big loop lever and buckhorn sights. I like it as well. Both guns have actions smooth as silk. The skinner sight is nice on the newer one. I have one in 22 mag as well.

I was looking at the 16.5 inch Carbine like the you have. Currently I have in .22 LR...Henry Pump, Heritage Arms SA revolver and the S&W Victory.
I think the Henry SG Carbine would fit in nicely!

The SGC has a nice balance to it. I prefer them over other versions of the H001 for offhand shooting with iron sights. Scoped or benchrest makes them lose some of that balance advantage.

I have the SGC with the large loop and Skinners....love it!!

I went the opposite direction. I first had the SGC and then got a new Ruger single ten to pair up with it.

Love mine. Shoots better than I can. Eats any ammo I feed it.

Don't have the Henry version, but I do have a Winchester 9422M bought new in 1973, that I'd put up against any of the Henry offerings. Everyone needs at least one good small game rifle.

Had a friend with one of those, smooth as my little Henry, and accurate.

I have a SGC with the Skinner sights and large loop and love it. Good balance and shoots great. Also have the Winchester that I bought last summer. It cycles very well but I have not shot it yet because of the range being closed.

I bought the 22 mag version and love it. The only change I made was to add a youth stock. I have short arms and running the lever was hard for both me and the wife. It is our favorite rifle and I'm on the look out for a 22 lr version .

[SGC]

I have the .22 and the .22 mag in carbine versions. Love them, they balance well, the skinners work better than the buckhorn for my older eyes and smooth as butter.

[Sir Henry]

I like the fact you can change peeps with the Skinner.

I love my 22 Mag small game carbine


This is my other "small game carbine" in 22 mag. . . But it's made by Winchester. . .
Nowdays it also has Skinner sights on it.

[markiver54]

Certainly understand that! Love mine too!
Mine is not a mag though.

[Stump]

My SGC is in 22mag and it shoots and functions very well, very accurate too. Mine is the 17" barrel version.

[deano5150]

I want a SGC in 22LR myself. Love my Golden Boy but like the idea of a shorter, lighter rifle with Skinner Sights.
I have Skinner Sights on my 357mag Steel Carbine and love the sights and rifle. A SGC would make a nice matching pair.

I just went the other way. TRP Rifle with 20'' barrel. I'll be taking it to the range today . . .

[Sir Henry]

Don’t take this the wrong way but I go both ways and have a SGC and a 24” Frontier. The SGC isn’t light to me and weighs 5.75 pounds compared to 4.5 for the Classic Carbine.

The SGC has a better balance for me.

[Bake]

I have always preferred a heavy muzzle, regardless of where or what I'm shooting . . .
