Key Features
- Octagon blued barrel: Adds weight forward for steadier aim and gives that classic lever-action look, even on a pump. Why it matters: The extra mass reduces muzzle rise and helps you stay on target for follow-up shots.
- Fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with brass bead front: Easy to dial in for windage and elevation, and the brass bead catches light for quick sight acquisition. Why it matters: You can zero in for plinking cans or squirrel hunting without needing a scope.
- Grooved receiver with 3/8″ dovetail: Lets you mount a scope or red dot directly without extra rails or gunsmithing. Why it matters: Customize your sight setup in minutes, whether you prefer irons or glass.
- Pump action with .22 S/L/LR compatibility: Cycles any .22 rimfire interchangeably — Short, Long, or Long Rifle. Why it matters: You can shoot cheaper .22 Shorts for practice and switch to Long Rifle for hunting, all in one gun.
- American walnut furniture: Hand-finished stock and fore-end with a satin sheen. Why it matters: Looks great, feels solid, and resists dings better than painted wood or synthetic stocks.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for shooters who want a reliable, old-school .22 that’s easy to maintain and fun to shoot. It’s perfect for new gun owners looking for a first rifle that won’t kick, for families teaching kids to shoot, and for small-game hunters who want a lightweight, fast-handling gun for rabbits and squirrels. Also suits collectors who appreciate Henry’s craftsmanship and classic octagon barrels.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Reliable pump action that feeds .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle without adjustment; classic looks with modern accuracy; adjustable sights and optics-ready receiver; American walnut stock is comfortable and durable; affordable price point for a quality American-made rifle.
- Cons: Pump action is slower than a semi-auto for rapid fire, so not ideal for competition speed shooting. Also, the blued finish requires occasional oil to prevent rust in humid conditions.
