6 Best Henry Lever-Action Rifles - Buy Before It's Gone!

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Bought my first lever action rifle - a Henry 25th anniversary .30-30 this past fall. H009GCC - Color case hardened side gate. So much fun. Absolutely gorgeous. Keeping it old school. It will never see a scope.

[@rexhaney9806]

That would put down a mad dog down

[@rickstroup8890]

One of Henry's best-kept secrets is the H001Y. I got one to keep my Golden Boy out of the weather and it gets the lion's share of the work by a mile. It loves everything I feed it from Colibris to Stingers. The smaller stock and barrel just make it so handy. I'm still impressed with it after several years.

I love lever-action rifles and have shot them for 50+ years (Winchester and Henry). Decent video, but sad there was no mention of any of the models in a 30-30. Lever action rifles chambered in 30-30 have probably led to more successful deer hunts in all terrains from Texas to Wisconsin than any other rifle made. Hard to believe that one of them didn't make the top 6.

Just picked up a 45-70 side loader. There is recall on the firing pin on 45-70 models made between December 14th to January 11th 2023. The rifle can inadvertently fire if lowering a cocked hammer on a live round. Henry made me aware of this and is offering a $50 merchandise gift card for our inconvenience. Beautiful rifles. I’d like to get an American Beauty model for the wife.

[@blackhawk7r221]

That says a lot of a company. Not waiting until they are told to launch a recall.

I was informed of the recall on about 3/3, they sent me a box which took a week or so, they received the rifle on 3/22, on 3/24 they informed me that it was on the way back to me, the repaired 45-70 is scheduled to arrive back in 4 days. Less than a month from the time they notified me. Not too bad I would say. I ordered the H011C today.

I have a Henry in 22LR, 44mag, 30-30 and 357mag. They all are good shooters. The 30-30 and 44mag have accounted for a slew of wild hogs on my place in South Texas. We have more hogs than you can imagine so we eat them and keep the freezer full. The 357 is fine for a secondary home defense rifle. The 22LR is excellent for small game. I do not regret buying any of these guns. Also, Henry stands behind everything they sell. If you have an issue, the WILL make it right, no problem. I know this first hand and appreciate that quality a ton. Whichever Henry you buy, you will like it. It will shoot. Feed it what it likes in ammo brand and then buy a lot of it and you cannot go wrong.

My retirement gift was a Henry Big Boy in .44 Magnum. It sits on the wall above my fireplace and has never been fired in 4 years of collecting dust. A friend came over and got me all excited about bringing it to a rifle range so we can fire it. The rifle has a tubular loading scheme. My dad's old 30-30 lever action had a side loading gate which I fired as a kid. Does anyone know if the .44 Magnum Big Boy with brass receiver can be modified at the factory to have a loading gate that can be retrofitted? That would be a real improvement for me. Just sitting on the couch drinking my morning coffee and looking at that rifle reminds me of how nice it is to be retired. It's far better than a gold watch. The rifle fit and finish is a true work of art.

I could use the front sight for an axe and the rear sight for a hoe. They catch on everything. Henry, take a look at Marlins sights.

[@burtvincent1278]

Bought a Henry in 44 Magnum. It put bullets all over the place. It only liked mild target loads and one hunting round which is impossible to find. Henry rebarreled it and tuned the action to no avail. I like the company but gave the rifle away as I won't own an inaccurate fire arm.
