bought a Henery lever

[eaglesnester]

Had a Marlin (Remlen) 39A that would not extract and or eject reliably with any brand of 22 long rifle ammo . Remington long rifle ammo would separate at the case head at times and there was a high incidences of fail to fire. The noise from the separation of the case head was deafening.
I finally got fed up and sold it on consignment. I was shown a 22 Henry Lever action and fell in love immediately. Put a chicken scope on it as the eyes are getting old. This rifle has now had about 400 or so rounds through it without so much as one stoppage. The Henry is accurate and precise. On the negative side, I guess I don't care for the aluminum receiver and black paint like finish instead of a solid machined receiver and traditional blueing. That is just a personal thing with me. I do like the large loop lever which is very easy to operate. All in all if U are a lever gun fan U cant go wrong with a new Henry.

I have a Henry lever 17hmr hex barrel what a fun little gun. I have to put a scope on it cause it can shoot further than I can see.

Do they still have their awesome warranty?

I just have to fix my iron sights...my henry 22lr is at 100m fairly accurate but it shoots approx. 2 feet left and 6 inches high. I didn't have time to fix the sights the first time I used it....the little rifle's action is very smooth. I bought the basic one on sale because I figured it would be a nice camp rifle and could justify tossing it around. Glad I bought it, when I get the time to adjust the sights so its zero'd I will be able to actually hit something instead of the targets of the person in the next seat again lol.

The Henry warranty is still great in terms of service, however, in Canada it all goes through one shop, and they are overloaded with work. The wait time to get your gun fixed is in the 3-4+ month range (so far). Still waiting to get mine back.

I went the opposite way and sold my Henry and bought an older 39a. It's a great gun. My Henry shot well and functioned perfect although the bore looked terrible with my borecam from brand new. I thought the construction was pretty cheesy and the design odd but I could not argue with the performance

I have 2 Henrys. A Small Game Carbine in .22 and a Big Boy Steel Carbine in .357 mag. They are my all time favorite long guns. Both are amazingly smooth, reliable and accurate. The .357 is usually the first gun out of the safe for anything other than waterfowl days.

Put a chicken scope on it

What's a chicken scope?
I recently picked up a Henry large loop 161/8"bbl. Handy little plinker that's accurate and light to carry. Inexpensive enough to not worry too much if it gets some honest cosmetic wear.
The front hooded sight really helps to gets on target quick for rapid shooting. Henry makes a good product that won't break the bank......

I snagged a Henry Frontier for almost $100 off before christmas. So far the only bad thing about it is the barrel band was a little loose and the sights were extremely off (4-5" low and left at 20 yards), but that gave me a great excuse to spend an afternoon working on it and sighting it in. Even before fixing the sights it groups well. This summer I'm going to toss a small scope on it.

So far I've got around 150 round through it in both 22LR and 22 Short. I gotta say, running short through it is really fun. The size and weight remind me of the old capguns I played with as a kid. It really lets you let out your inner cowboy, and it's the perfect size for my wife.
