Hi, Just wanted your opinion of a Henry .22 looks like new and in the box. This rifle was made in Brooklyn,New York.Fellar wants 250 dollars,and I am seriously tempted.Any thoughts? Cliff

I have never owned a Henry but have always heard that they are quality rifles. The $250 sound a bit high to me but as I said I have never owned one so I don't know the price of them. I suggest you look at some web sites such as Buds Gun Shop or the gun auction places to see what they are going for.

I just went to Buds and looked at them, the $250 you quoted sounds pretty good now!!

It is a Henry lever action .22 rim fire. Appears to be in like new condition. It is not a golden boy. Cliff

A .22 lever action is on my list of guns to get. Being able to shoot 22LR, 22Long, and 22Short is wonderfully versatile.

Buy it and save $25 before it gets away! :thumbsup:

That is a good price. American made, good warrantee,
last a long time if you take care of it.

i have had a henry 22 lever for years,i doubt if in firing over eight thousand rounds or so that i have had half a dozen ftfs and that was the ammo.i paid less than that for a new one but that was many years ago.they were being sold in the big box stores like walmart so chk there before you buy.i have had and owned winchester,marlin,and other brands of lever 22s but paid far more and not one was more dependable or for that matter not a whole lot more accurate than my little henry. old semperfi

Ya did good!

You did good at $250. Invest another $5 for a tube of Flitz and you'll keep that brass magazine tube shiny and bright.

 

[mr.t7024]

Well I shot the Henry just to see if it would shoot,it does and accuracy was good. What I was most impressed is the fact how smooth it was loading. I have a Marlin 39A and I can tell when I chamber a round,with the Henry I could not tell. Not to many things impress me,BUT THAT DID. WOW and then some! Cliff

 

[woolleyworm]

You did good MrT, I bought my son the Frontier model lever action and it is a fun shooter. I would still take a Marlin for being more accurate, but Henry wins in the looks/feel department. Both are quality guns and going to last many many years with the right TLC.

 

[cheesewiz]

Very nice choice ! Well made rifle very versatile . Pictures pls

If it has the butterfly rear sight I would probably consider it.

Be aware the one's made in the 1990's, and newer, were .22 LR only. More recent versions will fire S, L, and LR ammo I believe. I had a 1990's one, had fun with it without problems, but decided to have more fun with a S&W MP15-22 and traded it in.

Bought one last month and love it. I have had a couple of failures to feed with the cheap Russian .22's, and one of those nasty things stuck in the chamber and ended my shooting session (didn't have a cleaning rod with me). I really think this was an ammo problem, not Henry's fault.

After my first range session, I contacted Henry about a taller front sight--even with the rear sight elevator removed, it shot high with high speed hollow points. They sent me one in less than a week, no charge. Great customer service and good value--I'm a Henry fan!
