Picked myself up a new Henry single shot in .223 yesterday. I have been researching this rifle for a month or so and finally decided to kill my Cabelas points and get one. The one thing I learned while researching it was to expect a horrible trigger.
Boy was I surprised !!! When I got it home I gave it a try and found absolutely no creep or grittiness. I got out my gauge and found that it broke like glass at just over 4 lbs. Looks like Henry listened to all of the complaints.
I am sure I could slick it up some but this rifle will live its life in a gun rack in the roof of my side by side. For a beat around "truck gun" that is plenty good enough for me.
I hope to get time to scope it and work up some loads next week.
On another note, the hammer pull is pretty stiff which is a minus but it has a very generous bore which is a plus.
