Henry Rifle Forums

Got it today and I like it alot cant wait to shoot it. Like it so much I might need to get one in a brass model to.

Congrats, Al! Very nice wood furniture on that new Henry.
And I really look forward, along with other Folk I'm sure, to hear how it shoots for you.
Yup, you still have plenty of time before the holidays to get that brass model in hand, as well.
Enjoy.

Sweet looking rifle! I am really liking the single shots. I think I'm going to have to have one.

BEAUTIFUL, Al, Congrats! Like PT said, fantastic looking furniture!

For me, a single shot in 20 gauge sounds cool, but a single shot rifle in the right caliber causes an itch as well.

I like the pistol grip of the steel models.

Can't wait to hear how it shoots for you! Keep us posted and Congrats again.

Way to go, Al! Really nice rifle. They came up with the caliber you wished for; but, you'll find they're addictive .

Love the looks of that Henry single shot, especially the wood.

You know, even if I don't get on of these new Henry single shots, I am grateful to Henry for bringing out their line of single shots. As many of you know, I'm a single shot fanatic. Just can't have too many single shots on the market. Really helps to keep interest up.

although the only single shots I'm a fan of are muzzle loaders, I couldn't agree more .... the more "classic" style firearms available the better ....

I want one too!

I am a big fan of single shots. I even convert some of my rifles to single shot only. That 357 looks great and has nice grain in the stock. I wish they made that in 35 Remington. Something here would have to go for me to have one. The single shot Henry's do more for my taste in rifles than any thing they have made in a while. What is the twist rate on the 357?

Its 1:16. I haven't got to shoot it yet maybe this weekend. I thought about one in 30-30 but I don't need another caliber. I'm hoping one will show in 38-55 but I'm not sure whether its going to be a levergun in that caliber or a single shot. Anthony would not say. Al

I'm with bandit on using my bolt guns as single shots, either by loading them, singly, or a single shot adapter. Still, it is nice to have a dedicated single shot action, especially one in 357. Makes for a fun, easy to shoot range gun or hunting gun. Right now, my 357 single shot rifle is a Contender Carbine.

I am the same way with my levers - and bolts - single shot if on the bench and even if just informal field shooting.
With the Winchesters it's easy due to the top eject - Side ejects are a little harder but not too bad. I do it with my Henry also.

I stated yesterday that I want one. But I'm wondering about the trigger. What trigger weight are you getting? Any adjustment possible?

I have no gauge with which to give you an accurate answer. I however have read on another forum that there are springs one can change to make it alot better. The change of those springs is very easy according to the guys that have done it. But I want to shoot mine some before I pass judgement on it.

Hey very cool rifle!

In my limited sample of two, I find the trigger pulls to be 4.5 lbs in the 45-70, slightly more in the .243. Both are well under the weight of the rifle. I was mildly surprised they're as good as they are. I have heard of others with much higher pull weight, though. Luck of the draw, I guess.

Have you been able to shoot it yet? I am interested in getting one of these. I already have one in .223 and another H&R single shot in 45 colt.

Sorry Steelersfan I have not been out yet. I tried this weekend but it was so windy I could not get out there. Maybe this next weekend.
