Henry Single Shot Initial Impressions

[FergusonTO35]

neither can i ... boyd's sterling thumbhole butt and fore stocks order is just awaiting restocking, but the traditional stocks are available.

whether a scout v1 (blue) or v2 (stainless), the final price tag will be less or equal to a henry s/s, or maybe a tad more.

Ooh, did not know that, thanks!

just back from the range after shooting the CVA scout v2, she's a keeper!

It seemed a shame to let this thread die so I thought I'd post the result of sending the HO-15 .44mag on it's third trip back to Rice Lake....this time for the Henry recall. I'm not going to pull the stock to see what they changed but the gun came back with a trigger that cleanly and consistently breaks just under 4lbs.
I guess all's well that ends well and hats off to Henry for making the rifle what it should have been to start with. When and if this current gun panic ever ends I may even shop for another SS in .357.

having had a pair of henry singles, .223 and .357, i would more than hesitate to buy another - for me it was a terrible trigger, even with the "trigger fix" that i accomplished for each.

i just took receipt of a CVA scout v2 in .45-70 and the trigger is just excellent and what the henry should have been. overall, just a better gun and value, IMHO.

Hey, RFD!

Did your CVA come with the threaded barrel-cap pictured?

How difficult was it to remove the muzzle brake?

Is that a 23 inch barrel without the brake?

Yes, the stainless Scout II comes with a muzzle brake that easily screws on/off. The actual bbl length is 23", not the advertised 25". The standard blued Scout has a full 25" bbl with no muzzle brake. I have both rifles and like them both, both have really good triggers. That said, I prefer the cheaper blued version and it's longer bbl with no brake.

Should pick up my Henry .44 mag SS today. Got and EGW mount and a Leupold VX3i 1.5-5 coming for it. I guess if ammo is going to be scarce loading one at a time will be a good thing. Need to figure out what height rings.
