Henry .22 Lever Action Carbine Review

There are many great 22 rifle options on the market today but Henry's 22 lever action carbine rifle just might be one of the most versatile and best overall values on the market today. Watch this video to find out why...

[@TheOriginalRick]

Had my new Henry carbine at the range yesterday, and a young 10-year old boy in the next lane was fascinated by it. I asked his father if it was okay if he shot it, and got approval. Spent about ten minutes going over the ins and outs, and then let him try a tube full. He got a nice grouping at ten yards, and we were both quite happy. I think I know what he is going to asking for at Christmas this year. :-)

Just purchased that exact same rifle, my first lever action .22 I think it’ll be way more fun that my ruger 10/22 ‘s, definitely more of an American classic!

[@shanevonharten3100]

The reciever is steel, the cover is alloy.

@@timhallas4275 is h001L the same as the youth version?

[@99somerville]

@@ClearWater7.62 No. The L means a large loop. Y means youth version with regular loop. All other specs seem to be the same.

[@georgecrutchfield8734]

The receiver is under what you called a receiver. Take it apart and see. You can ship the cover of the receiver without going through your FFL. They are definitely fun to shoot and accurate.

[@GoldenClays1]

I have a large loop lever carbine model, and it's just a great little rifle. Love shooting it, and it's very accurate. Thanks for thew video!

[@dylanashley799]

The aluminum receiver never bugged me because it’s a .22 not a 30-30 😂😂

[@1991tommygun]

Its not even an aluminum receiver, its only the cover, receiver is steel

[@kennethlindahl9206]

I have this gun in a youth model. It makes the handiest lil carbine. This is what I did... First I put sling swivels on... A rifle without a sling is like a pistol without a holster Next I leather wrapped the lever...So comfortable... big difference Went with that for a while Then a little later I ordered the saddle ring receiver cover Now It looks as sweet as it shoots I put a strip of leather on the ring so I can stop the ring from slamming against the receiver as I walk I can hang on to strip of leather and with my lever hand

I own a Henry .22 and I love it and I use it for small game hunting and for pest control.

Have you ever shot a 39a?

[@theunforgivenpuritan4102]

I have the H001 and LOVE IT. Of my .22lr rifles...my fav and most accurate

[@JohnnyRebKy]

I've had more fun with my Henry carbine than any gun I own...and I own a lot lol. It's so light and easy. Plus it will drive nails 👍. I'm going to teach my 10 year old daughter to shoot this spring with it. I may even give it to her. I got a full size Henry 22 that's never even been shot. I had so much fun with the large loop carbine that I never bothered with the full size one I have

[@sissydreams7494]

@@chadhaire1711 Wow, why so angry? Yes, the Japanese ones are made to more exacting standards and cost a LOT more for that quality. Sometimes, people would just prefer to support American companies. Other times, it doesn't matter and they just want a superior product and are willing to pay for it. It's okay to be proud of your country and I sincerely doubt that you would have said that mean statement to his face. Only, a rude, ugly, small minded person would do that.

[@kb6069]

I just bought my first Henry; is my 2nd 22; also my second leaver action however my first Henry. I have always been a huge fan of leaver actions, there’s something about southpaws and leaver actions that go hand in-hand, that’s just the way it is. Having said that I must admit that I have always been a Marlin man. And I thought it would always be that way, I am glad that Henry made a working mans gun! I’m glad not everything has to be “golden” from them, I never thought I would buy Henry, yet I have one now, thanks for expanding to something I would want; good quality without the “Cadillac” price tag. Henry deserves a TON of credit for making this move and yes they make one H*ll of a rifle!!!!!

[@jasonstewart3748]

Last new 39a was sold for $3600

[@kb6069]

@@jasonstewart3748 what is a 39A? Also 3600 is very steep. In my book! I paid about 600$ plus some fees for having it shipped to a FFL, and all of that. I am very happy with what I have, I am happy with the fact that Henry made a working mans gun, and they left the gold for something else for my purchase!

[@hildtonmcconnell5626]

I have that Henry .22 and a couple of savages a Mark II TR and a FVT all so had a single shot and a semi auto they all shot much better groups than the Henry, the Henry is a fun gun to shoot but hard to take down to clean compared to the bolt action and I all so have a Marlin 444 leaver witch is also much simpler to take down and clean. I am of the old school where you clean your guns every time you use them. The fit and finish on the Henry was very good on the out side, but when I took it apart was not to pleased as the finish on the inner parts marked up way to easy, and the bluing came off in several places. As I said if you want a fun little gun for shooting cans and steel it is great, but when you put it on paper not so good, for tight groups. I would also want some thing more accurate for hunting. I thought I might of just got a bad one but when I look at some of the videos the groups are not that great. But again it is a fun gun for plinking, if you do not mid the extra time for cleaning it properly.

I'm after a light weight .22 as a pack gun for when I'm out carrying a heavier rifle. I'm torn between this and the youth model (which is $170 cheaper here). Anyone have a recommendation?

[@efm2169]

BonesTheCat I’m also torn between the youth and carbine model but I decided I’m going to go with the youth model because it’s 1” shorter in the stock and as far as the big loop goes you really don’t need it unless you have massive meat hands or you plan on wearing heavy gloves in the winter time. I live out in Az so I won’t need any gloves at all. I want the smallest rifle lever action 22lr I can find and the youth model is it.

Your prices are totally off. The Henry is cheaper than Browning but at $300 more than Rossi at $200. A Ruger 10/22 can be had as low as $180.....nowhere near the Henry.

A friend of mine has had a Browning 22 forever, but when we go shooting it jams about 30% of the time. He keeps a small screwdriver with him to get it out. I told him a lever would fix all of that! I love my Henry!

The only safety is the traditional and completely adequate half cock. Thankfully Henry didn't ruin it .

[@shanevonharten3100]

vtwintora. Any safety is only as good as the person using the rifle. The internal cross bar prevents fireing without the trigger being pulled, hammer cannot hit the fireing pin.
