Henry lever action 22

Anybody use them


Posted by treedog2345 on 11-15-2016 02:52 AM:

Use to carry one heavy and every one that I have shot always shoots to the left due to the 2 piece barrel constructin. But if I were just plinking in the back yard I would have one just to shoot at home .for the money you could buy a gun and scope half the weight and more acurate.

Mine always jammed the first shell out of the tube. Besides being heavy.

My thoughts as well, had the same experience, traded mine for a 10/22. I love a lever action, Marlin is the best imo, especially the old ones!

Henry rifle

I have one and like it not sure if this is a youth model or what but it is a small light little gun and like most lever actions balances nice and is easy to carry. I don't think the finish is the best and the sights aren't great but to me it is ideal for trapline carry or walking around plinking.

I have several henry lever action haven't had any problems I coon hunt with the mini bolt super lite no problems

Liked.mine after I put on a scope.

Iron sights are a little funky. Had to put a little squeeze on the feed tube after I lost the second sliding tube.

Tim, the 10/22 site fits the Henry dovetail perfectly and is a much better site. And it don't look too bad.

I mix it up between the Henry and my Nylon 66 for nostalgia.

I use one and love it. I put some fiber optic sights on it and it shoots a lot easier now. I have the shorter barrel one, I think its 18 inches

Thanks for the replies. Going to buy one of some kind to pass down to my grandson. I've got a little time to think about it he's just four months old LOL.
