Henry .22 lever action

[sigsr]

Does anyone have any experience with the Henry .22 lever action rifle? Are they accurate and reliable?

[Thefeeder]

Yes and yes........ a very nice lever 22.

Just got one and its a fun gun to shoot
its accurate but the sights are OK but it needs a good set of peep sights.

It's one of my favorite rifles.

Great rifles. The Henry's come in several forms: H001 - basic , H001T - fancier with an octagon barrel and the H004 "Golden Boy" with a octagon barrel & brasslite receiver. The H001 and the H001T have dovetail grooves built into the receiver cover, the H004 requires a special scope mount available for extra. You can also get a large loop lever instead of the standard.

My H001 gets the most attention when I take new shooters to the range. For the price, you can't go wrong and Henry's customer service is outstanding.

great guns, but my sights sucked. I threw a little scope on there and its a campsite favorite!

I believe the only plastic on my H001 is the front barrel strap. I believe you can buy a steel one directlly from Henry if you want to switch it out.

I love my Henry lever action.

A friend of mine has one with a hex barrel. We were hitting a 4" steel plate at 175 yards with iron sights with little hold over. Great little rifle!

Very nice stock and butter smooth action.

there was a girl at a rimfire shoot last weekend that was nailing targets with one. everyone else had semi and she was banging away timed fire with the lever action.. pretty cool

I have the youth model. Great whipgun in the Jeep and offroad golfcart w/ 33' OAL (on my private acreage). As said, very accurate. Both bbl bands are plastic. The receiver is alloy and thus painted black. I modified the rear sight to be screw-adjustable as none of the course ramps suited my needs. I usually use the iron sights but also mount a nice/cheap Leapers 4x30 compact scope for longer distance as my eyes are getting old. That short scope looks perfect on that little gun.
On a related note: I am extremely disappointed that Henry discontinued the cheap youth model in their pump action line.

I've had one for at least 10 years, basic model. It competes quite well for range time with Marlin and Ruger semi-autos.

I love mine, nothing like shooting a lever action. Good quality and just plain fun to shoot, enjoy. Everyone will want to shoot it.I've had no problems with the factory sights.

I love my large loop carbine, outstanding gun. Smoothest lever out of the box I have ever had. All American parts, all made in America. Quality is great, but if something goes wrong the customer service is exceptional. I have emailed them a number of times, the President himself responds, and quickly too. The barrel bands are indeed plastic, if you want metal ones they are cheap and easy to put on. I figure if mine ever break I will put the metal ones on...and have been figuring that for a lot of years now.

I bought a youth model a few years ago for my oldest son, and it's worked flawlessly every time.

We had it down at Rainbow one time and there was another gentleman on the rifle range with a non-youth model, who was having some sort of ejection issue. From the way my son was eying it, he generously offered to let my son fire a few rounds. He emptied the tube without nary a hitch, and I suspect that the other guy was being a bit too gentle with it when operating the lever.
