Just got one of these exact rifles, ended up putting 250 rounds through it the first day. I absolutely love this rifle, it's just dumb fun. It's my first ever lever action, and I could not be happier with it. Henry definitely knows what they're doing.
I have the rifle length version of this gun. Those sights are AWESOME. Two upgrades I've made to the rifle, is adding a leather wrap to the lever loop and adding a thumbscrew to the elevation adjustment on the peep sight. Both well worth it. This thing shoots straight as a die, cycles beautifully. Arguably one of the best triggers I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Skinner sights makes the thumbscrew, and you can pick up an appropriately sized wrap at brass stacker.
just got this rifle last week it's great it's my first Henry. only problem is i love it so much i now have to buy a few more. maybe 357, 30-30 and a 45/70. guess i should start saving for them
Just got the carbine model in 22 mag. The rifle , being a Henry rimfire, is of course silky and buttery smooth. But what really absolutely blows me away is the wood. The stock on my small game is gorgeous ! I don’t know where Henry gets their wood but I’ll tell you this , it’s the most beautiful stock in my gun collection.
Besides all the other wonderful things I can say about the Henry repeating lever action rifles, the action is like no other, it's "like butter", working that action is so smooth ...if you are a lever action guy and you are picking up a Henry for the first time, it's the first thing you will notice !
I prefer the normal lever for its quick function and the Small Game Rifle was not available anywhere I could find. So I purchased the Frontier long barrel and got the sights direct from Skinner.
About to order the standard Frontier big loop with buckhorn sights. Sooper stoked! Already ordered a Simmons 4x32 scope, sling swivel set, and an old surplus SKS sling. Fixin' to do a whole mess of plinkin' and varmint huntin'
I am so lucky to have an awesome family! My family bought and gifted me a Henry carbine in 357 3 years ago! Now, being a former SWAT sniper and competitive shooter, i expect accuracy…period! My Henry is exactly what i expected….1 hole at 25 yds! I am now asking “Santa” for a 22mag Henry……any suggestions? Amazing how a guy like me, military vet, SWAT, and yet my love for the lever is so strong.
Even the regular sized H001 plain Jane original rifle is a carbine by definition. It’s tiny. Maybe an inch or two or three longer than a Daisy Red Rider. How much shorter do you want it? It’s already toy sized. Get the full size and keep your ammo capacity high. Right now mine’s fully loaded with 21 rounds of CCI shorts. Can’t beat that y’all.
tiny Houses & Cabins: I am having an issue. I want to buy a Henry. I checked out numerous models at the store. The basic model seems to be the best overall size but the stock is about 1/2 inch too long. then checked out a youth model with the 13 inch LOP, it seemed to small. I know the evil Roy is the same size as the youth model. do you consider it small compared to the Golden boy?
Hi Aaron, here's a link to the large loop lever if you're interested: www.henryrifles.com/product/large-loop-levers-for-lever-action-henry-rifles/ And here's everything that Skinner Sights offers for our rifles. You could get this exact setup, but it would require drilling and tapping your receiver. skinnersights.com/henry_rifles_18.html
Thomas, I have been dealing with Henry since Mr. Imperator was the boss, RIP,not Anthony, his son. I can guarantee you that gun did not leave the factory in that condition. My estimation is in the carriers hands or worse yet the receiving ffl. However you can bet that company will make it right. I’ll bet the gun was mishandled by a disgruntled employee that is in the packing dept. just my guess or the carrier. Please give them at Henry a chance, you won’t regret it. They are top notch trying to make you number 1 satisfied.
I bought the goldenboy, its a beautiful gun, i love the tiger stripe pattern in the wood, im Canadian but i refuse to buy a lever gun not made in USA! Thanks
How big is the stock part of the rifle? I'm a big guy with long arms and kinda worried that the rifle won't be a comfortable fit. Over here in Europe you can't really try out a rifle, since I don't know any dealers that have these rifles in stock.
Having never hunted with a rifle like this, is the extra 4" of barrel really that much of a detriment on the 20" version. Maybe a better question is there really a noticable difference moving through heavy brush between the two barrel lengths? I've never hunted with one, but I've moved through some heavy brush and basically everything gets snagged or hung up. If my collars, sleeves and boot laces get snagged, isn't the gun going to as well, regardless of barrel length?
Need to do more air gun videos. They are cheaper to shoot and dead accurate even the cheaper ones.People are hunting with pcp air rifles and target shooting at hundreds of yards.
How well would the small game carbine work for a 5'3" 120lb female? My daughter would like to have something that's a bit more fun to shoot than her single shot 22
The longer octagon barrel on the Frontier model looks great with the fancy grain stock that Henry offers as an option. I added a 3/4" tube scope with a set of 3/8" Buehler rings. Newer, cheaper rings just ruin it. A 1" diameter scope would also ruin the looks of it.
Hey man, do you think that there would be much variation in accuracy between the carbine and rifle? I'm set on buying one of these, I just can't decide between which one.
I have the carbine and the biggest accuracy difference is just going to be the sight radius. Longer barrel = longer sight radius. Mine is extremely accurate however.
I’ve heard in several forums that these rifles sometimes shoot a little high due to the shorter front sight paired with the skinner peep sight. Is this something Henry has fixed, or is it not an issue to be concerned about?
one of my dream guns is a Henry!!! I wish i had the money to buy one right now but i am saving up for one now?lol i lovethis little gun but im looking for more of a big bore rifle that is tube fed?30/30 or .308 with a tube fed mag??? To me a cowboy gun isnt one without that 2nd tube that looks like a barrel!?!?! So far its been hard for me to find a tube fed .308?Do they make them and if so what model so i can go look up my next rifle?lol
I ordered my 22 from Buds guns and was shipped to my FFL. I got a call that in was in and I opened the box and couldn’t believe what I saw. There was a scratch on the receiver 1/4” wide by 1/4” long facing me in the box. Henry don’t y’all have quality control ? I refused it and back it went. Very dissatisfied !!!
A $1200+ fixed magnification optic on a $400 22lr... Not "judging" lol but there's way better options. A slick pistol reflex or carbine red dot would be a ton lighter, cheaper, faster, and overall more usable if you wanted to go "tactical".
@@jarrettm3728 the acog is designed for quick engagements at targets within the entire capable range of standard military ball 5.56 out of an M4. You are right when you say 4x is not a lot of magnification but if you plan to use the acog as it was intended- on a scaled down .22lr platform, of course- then 4x will be pretty slow in engaging your targets, as the acog was designed to compromise speed for the effectiveness of engaging targets between 25-800 yards. The 22lr has a USABLE range of about 100 yards, so an optic optimized for engagements within even 200 yards, rather than 800yrds, would be much faster overall. The military would define that range to be within cbq territory and that's where the 1x red dot shines. If you want 4x then absolutely go for it- it's your choice but it's not going to be as quick as something with less magnification.
Matter of opinion, but I really think it is stupid when someone is making a video and is not facing the camera when they are talking. I don’t know why some film makers do that!

Mine is arriving at my ffl friday. anticipation!
I've had my Henry for a few months and love it, I didn't know about the peep sites so I will have to check them out
My wife has the carbine, and I have the standard model. Both shoot great. Henry makes a great rifle.

Bought my wife the Evil Roy. What a sweet shooter it is. I am now ready to replace my .44 mag from another manufacture to the Henry-----
Mine is on order. Can't wait!
Borrowed a page from gunblast with the cool banjo riff. It fits the rifle and the back drop in the Tennessee hardwoods.
I have both a Golden Boy and a Evil Roy rifles and I love them both.

I might have to look at getting the large loop lever for my Frontier. If I didn't already have it, this gun would be the hot ticket.

Really curious as to what the reduction is of accuracy and bullet velocity in the carbine vs the rifle.
Beautiful!
just ordered me the carbine today.

I know now what to get for mi kids for their fist rifle... Thank you awesome review.
Cool rifle and carbine. Thanks for the video.
Hey 22plinkster, I love your videos, excellent and entertaining, thank you!
Thanx for the informative review.
You're quite welcome Marion! Thanks for watching.
I wish I had a skinner sight, I have the carbine and it has the regular iron sights with the hood on the front sight
Those are really cool
Mine has the 16 1/4” barrel.
I like 22's!
How can buy this .22lr it's look excellent work
I love this gun

its , according to the catalog, 17". & under 100 yards, not much.
Here is another video idea. Demonstrate that versatility by loading 22 short, 22 long, and 22 long rifle in the magazine at the same time.
Need to do more air gun videos. They are cheaper to shoot and dead accurate even the cheaper ones.People are hunting with pcp air rifles and target shooting at hundreds of yards.
Are you able to get the smaller handle separately for use without gloves?
Will those Skinner rear sights fit on my Golden Boy or my Henry Pump??
How tall is the front sight, and what is the width of the dovetail?
I wonder how this rifle performs with Remington Thunderbolt .22LR?
Enjoying these Vids. Can you do a review on the Color Case Hardened 45/70. Only one video that i can find on the internet of it.Cheers.
How well would the small game carbine work for a 5'3" 120lb female? My daughter would like to have something that's a bit more fun to shoot than her single shot 22
.22lr is a bit small caliber if you are hunting anything as big as a 5'3" 120lb female. You will need a bigger caliber if you are hunting them.

Nope they have not. You just have to but a taller front sight or deal with it. Or just put a scope on it
is this one lr or magnum?
what is the velocity difference between tha carbine and rifle?
Henry, Is there ever going to be a pistol grip option for your rimfire lever gun ? You would have an instant success! Why just the 45-70s?

Is it just me or this carabine sounds really quiet ?
Made in America or not at all 👍
Is it OK to shoot high velocity .22 LR in the H001
Henry Meguess. Definitely a yes.
Calibre top dimais 22.
can it take down a monkey in 50m meter distance?

is it drilled n tapped lol i wanna put a acog on it don't judge me and i want synthetic options

Think you gave some wrong information on ammo capacity. I'm pretty sure the carbine has a 7 round magazine and the rifle has a 12 round magazine.
