New Henry Single Shots

[Lethemgo]

I will probably end up with one in 45-70 but it is a pretty short gun. 37" with a 22" barrel seems like a small piece. For that price range though it'll be though to pass up.

[tdoyka]

i would take them in a 475L or a 500L. i'll take a 38-55 or a 44-40 too!!!

their chamberings are pretty good, but i have/have had them. i'll just wait and see.

Henry website update says the single shot rifles will ship in May

[kbstenberg]

For those interested the 45/70 will have a twist if 1 in 16. The person I contacted by email said no plans for a 30/30 or a slower twist 44M
My 2 gun suppliers said there price will be 380$

Henry told me on the phone 1 in 20. Did your information come from Henry?

I received an e-mail from Henry when I asked this question right after the rifles were announced. I was told 1 in 38". But I saw a post somewhere recently where some one was told 1 in 20" on the single shots, but the lever actions would stay the same. So who knows? Maybe we'll get an answer in the coming months when these get into reviewer's hands.

[Ickisrulz]

The new single-shot .44 Mag rifles will have a 1:20” twist; different from our lever-action .44s which have the 1:38” twist.

There should be plenty of reviews in May because we are ALL getting one.

[buckshotshoey]

I fully intend to if the price is reasonable. If it goes for much more then $350, I will probably pass. Too many good bolt guns around in that price range. Dont expect it to be as cheap as a CVA, but the quality should be well above.

Yes I plan on getting one as soon as they come out. I want the .44 mag. I am only debating if I want to put a scope on or not.

Dang the world can throw curves at ya.

Comeing in May

Choice A the Henry in .44 mag.

Choice B the Gauntlet PCP air rifle in .177 or .22 (and possibly .25)
With 50 shots of .22 on a single fill. Coupled with a good hand pump and at under 300$ it appears the first really reasonable Precharged Pnuematic airrifle may be in reach.

Pump would be another 200. But then the cord would be cut. No further purchases required.
No primers needed, no powder, no brass.

Ultimate SHTF meat for the pot rifle? Ohh and it is supposed to do 900 fps on those .22 pellets. More for .177 but I never really liked the .177 for killing critters.

Decisions decisions.

I guess I have between now and May to save roughly 1,000 dollars.

Ghosthawk,

You forgot to mention the other advantage of that PCP. Working that hand pump will give you a workout!

Another plus for Henry, they are drilled to use H&R scope mounts. Meaning, any receiver sight for H&R should also work on the Henry. I have a Williams WGRS on my Huntsman and love it.

[NoAngel]

Ohh that's NICE! The steel one piece mounts are rock solid and I have one on all my Handis.

[NoAngel]

I just wonder how many of these will pass through JES reboring in the next year?

I'd like to have one in .308 but doubt I can stand to keep it that way when a couple hundred bucks will turn it into a .358 Win. Otherwise known as a Real Man's Rifle. LOL!

[hc18flyer]

I'm fighting the urge to bore one to 358 myself, make for a sweet handling cast boolets Hunter!

I'd get one if the price is right. Right now i've got a 10" chamber adapter in 38 special in my H&R Topper.

Reckon what the chances of a 357 mag will be?

I want a .358 Win ultimately but converting a 357 mag is cheaper and easier for me than a 308 rebore.
I have the reamer and have converted a 357 Handi already. Not difficult at all.
Nice thing for me will be the journey. Being as I already have a 358, I'm thinking of a 357 max rebore first, if that don't suit me, 358 is still easy enough.

Another option I am really considering would be more involved and require a 30/30 extractor; .357 Herrett. I have always wanted to try that caliber. 35 caliber just WORKS.
It shouldn't be to hard to machine the existing extractor as long as they ain't been heat treated.
