New Henry Single Shots

[Buckshot Bill]

I'll be down for one in .357 mag and .44 mag if they are reasonably priced. Interchangeable barrels would be nice but I won't hold my breath on that one. I like the looks better than a contender carbine already and that is about the only break open single shot option out there with any caliber choices

.38-55 and/or .375 WCF would be sweet!

How much does the darned thing weigh? I have no need for any 8 pound single-shot rifles, but would be very interested in a 5-6 lb. rifle for under $500.

Today I sent an email to Anthony Imperato thru the Henry Rifle website, expressing my interest in the new single shots. I stated that in addition to 223, 243,308, and 45-70, we cast bulletshooters would love to see 35 Rem and/or 358 win. Over the course of the day I received 2 replies, saying they would consider it. I hope others will express interest and just maybe they will offer a 35 call? Thanks, hc18flyer

Thanks for the info.

I was hoping they would offer a .357 Mag but it does not look like that is happening....at least initially. My quest is to find an accurate rifle that will shoot .38/.357 without flinging brass all over the place. I want to be able to mount a scope as well.

I sent my email to him today concerning the .358 winchester.

I'd be happy with any 35 caliber with the exception of the whelen. I'd be happy to void the warranty on my barrel with a simple reamer job and take a 357 mag or 35 rem to .358 winchester. I've done both already on a H&R and a CVA and it's a simple thing to do.

It looks like a nice fairly dainty rifle. I bet it's a lot lighter than a handi.

Why do they go to the trouble to make a nice looking rifle, from the utube, then insist on the garish receiver/barrel junction?

Looking forward to eyeing one and make a decision from there. I'd like to see increased caliber options myself.

I really don't see why to start with 3006, 270. I think 308, 243, 357, 44mag would be better. Although, I'd much rather 45 Colt over 44 mag.

I watched the above linked video then saw another video on the Henry "Long Ranger" lever action rifle. I had not heard of these but look good and available in high pressure cartridges like the 308 Win. Has a rotating bolt.
Glad to see some new innovations hitting the market from a good firm like Henry.

I am looking forward to the new single shots. I expect them to be well made and without plastic parts. Henry dumped plastic parts from their center fire line sometime ago. I predict the MRSP to be about $650 with a Bud's price of about $500. I would like one in a pistol cartridge. 41 magnum would be nice.

I'd rather see a falling block single shot with your choice of takedown barrels , with an offset rimfire barrel option.
Not that I have anything against the break action single shots, and in fact they may be quicker and easier to reload.

Two sizes of falling block actions with lightweight rifles for the rimfire, pistol calibers and light centerfire rifle calibers to use for small to medium game and a heavier action for the more powerful cartridges and longer range target work. It was a good system a century or more in the past and remains a good idea.
I've already come up with an improved method of attaching the barrels , both to make the lock up stronger and very consistent from one barrel to another without wear to the receiver, which I figure I'll keep under my hat for now.

Has anyone seen any still photos of this gun yet? I'd like to be able to look it over a bit, and had no luck finding any photos. Thanks.

Thanks, it looks better than many of the recently available single shots. I guess I will have to wait and see what cals are available and the price.

Good news, any chance they listed available calibers?

[725]

Love that style, but $427 is steep for me.

[marlin39a]

If the walnut is decent, and if they make it in .22 Hornet, I'd be in.

[Mossy Oak]

I'm with you Marlin39a, a .22 Hornet would be a nice addition.
