H012 Is home now

[FormerParatrooper]

Finally got her home. Added the scope and put some 550 cord on the lever just for my own personalization.

Didn't have chance to shoot her yet, did cycle some dummy rounds thru for a function check. It may be a couple of weeks until I can get to the range.


Tag from the factory is dated 12 Jan 23.

Glad you got your rifle. The lever wrap is a nice addition to the already pretty rifle.

Man, that’s a fresh one. Congrats.

[Mags]

Love those fresh out of the box pictures! Congrats!

[Cofisher]

I have the same rifle. You cannot beat the balance and convenience. Enjoy it brother.

[FormerParatrooper]

Of all the firearms I have, everything from flintlocks to modern weapons, the Henry is the one she said she really likes. She informed me that the Henry needs a companion, a pistol of some sort. She is looking and will send me some options. I love my wife

I prefer the Rugers. But, the Smiths have a devoted following also. It's a lot of fun. Lol

[Headhog]

Congrats! Fine looking rifle there. Looking forward to the range report.

Very nice Henry you have there. Looking at single action revolvers? USA or italian, they're some dandys out there.

That could be 44 or 357M?

Inquiring minds would like to know.

Mine is 357M, it's an H012MX.

[Mike_S]

Gonna guess 44M?

[CT_Shooter]

The photo reveals it's a 357/38 caliber. I have my H006M paired with a Taylors/Uberti SmokeWagon SAA 357. Love them both. Good luck with yours, Paratrooper.

[Cofisher]

I originally settled on the 357. Have never regretted it. Yeah, the 44mag is bigger. And the 45 colt is So traditional. But, nothing is more effective, or sexy. Lol.

I see no pic that reveals a cal.,
And my reason for asking.
Mine is in 41 mag.

Could you please share the details on that scope? Mainly length and objective size. I’m about to scope mine and I like the looks of yours but wouldn’t want anything bigger.

This one... Open it in a new tab or window and zoom in. It's stamped just under the semi-buckhorn.

[FormerParatrooper]

Rifle is the .357.

As far as what sidearm, this is where my preference is out of it. I would prefer something akin to a Colt Single Action Army Revolver in .357, but her idea is something that matches the wood of the Henry. Something with a 4-to-6-inch barrel would work, as a back up for the rifle when hunting. I have to remove the magazine tube or otherwise make the rifle single shot to meet the criteria for IL to hunt with it. So a side arm makes sense that meets the criteria. Nothing says I can't carry both.

Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm Riflescope. I don't remember the dimensions off hand for length. Found it on Amazon for just under $300.

That’s an awesome scope and if you want something a bit smaller Leupold makes it in 2-7x32 (or 33 maybe).
