Battle of the Budget .22's - H001 vs H001T

A good lever action .22 rifle will last your entire life, and more likely than not, get more use than any other firearm you own. They're cheap to shoot, they're a ton of fun, and they're versatile. When it comes to lever action .22's we have a ton of options. In this video, we "compare" the two most affordable options. Which one would you choose?

I wouldn't call it budget...just top quality at a fair price!

[@Holy_Discourses]

Oh its budget my guy just because it shoots reliable most of the time doesn't mean much if the internals, receiver, and barrel bands arent steel

[@gregington.]

@@Holy_Discourses it's not a budget, it's $2,000

[@Holy_Discourses]

@@gregington. I bought mine for $250 but you’re probably joking.

[@paulwall5851]

I was thinking that myself i’ve got a 22 semi automatic ross I gave $125 for now. That is budget. and I’ve also got the henry 22 LR lever action I give $370 and if it came down to either one, they both shoot great they’re both accurate, but when it comes to quality Henry all day every day.

[@scttewegner72]

Round barrel is obviously faster due to the aerodynamic coefficient properties that Henry implemented. To make up for the Hexagonal barrel, they added an extra round, longer range due to longer barrel, and higher muzzle velocity. Yeah, that's it, that's what I'm going with.

[@HAMMERTIME117]

Just treated myself to a frontier edition after graduating college this year. As a history major I love it!

[@billsummy2412]

Sweet.... BUT I just wish Henry would bring back the less costly Round barrel Pump ...

[@rodwoods2108]

How about the octagon barrel pump. Best I ever shot open site is my Rem Model 12C. Perfect sites. One inch square at 50 yards is not a challenge. Have a Weatherby semiauto w scope the girls shoot empty 22 hulls off posts at 25 meters. First time they outshot all the boy cousins, the moaning was unbelievable. Chuckle!!! Todays biggest problem with .22's is the sights, pistols especially. The sight is ten times bigger than the target it would hit if the beads and rear sites were finer. How do you shoot a candle out w your pistol if your front bead would cover ten of them wide? Even the old super accurate Browning Nomad has a too wide front blade. I used to kill blue grouse w my single six, then an old guy handed me an old H & R and says kill that rabbit for me at 20 yards. I thought impossible till I lined up the sites. Fereaking magic!!!! One dead bunny first shot. Most people have no idea how accurate a .22 really is with the right sites. Sill looking for an old time 9 shot .22 shooter. Come on Henry take the challenge. I have one Henry already, the Eagle Scout Rifle, stunningly beautiful. Make me buy more!

[@larryg.overton2951]

Got my H001 because: it's a Henry; it's MiA; it's a lever gun. We keep rabbits and chickens, so my primary application for my Henry is for dispatching varmints (racoons, possums and squirrels). I love that it cycles S/L/LR, since I like to use quiet .22 ammo, so I have shorts, longs and CCI Quiet-22 as well as bulk standard velocity .22LR ammo, Mini-Mags, etc.

[@jschoenzy9416]

[@jimrees1778]

I have various rifles, brands, cal., etc., and i have to say that Henry is tops when it comes to quality. My .22 lever action Henry is what i always grab for when planning to go out plinking in the woods. It is so solid feeling, very accurate, and to be honest, Henry rifles are the best on the market.

[@semtech30]

The octagon barrel being heavier and longer also delivers a quieter report . The Golden boy and Silver boy is awesome in design if you prefer a bit more character. Thanks Henry.

[@horsemindedwtp]

This is absolute proof of one thing. Henry's success is absolutely selfevident. these 2 goof balls, including one that works for the company, can get out here and completely Jack around , and , have us watch the "entire thing" Simply, Because we love henry so much.

[@user-hb8be5wb4q]

Just awesome as usual for a Henry. I have six of various types including the 1st generation military theme. I prefer that version because of the insignias. The 357/38 lever action is a ball to shoot, as the others are.

[@tomjones1967]

[@garylavorgna5976]

Great video. I have the H001T model and have put thousands of rounds through it. It doesn’t like Winchester ammo, but blows right through CCI, Federal, and Aguila. I added a Skinner peep sight and it has greatly improved my accuracy.

[@cw2gtc]

Hi Dan &22Henry Plinkster, I have a Henry H0001 with octagon barrel. Not the fancier Frontier model. But, that’s fine. Just having the rifle that I do, as it is, is pllllenty fancy for me. To my eye, the external beauty of “MY Henry” lies in its first impression-first glance. In its super well-made best American, walnut stock. The octagon barrel is a nod and hat tip to Henry’s very rich history. The barrel, and the lever action, they proudly say American. The fit and finish are supreme. The attention to detail, mated with the pride of Henry’s American craftsmen as they build each Henry rifle to its final magnificent creation. That’s just the outside. Without going into a tear-down to talk about the inner mechanics, just trust me. They are accurate rifles! The lever action feels solid and substantial as it cycles its way through the cartridge pickup, battery, firing, and ejection of the spent cartridge. These All-American, Hand-Made rifles are how America used to produce THE most firearms in the world. When I hold MY Henry, I’m very pleased knowing these experts in their fields of expertise are STILL doing it the right way. The American Way! (Wow! I just wrote out the 1st Draft of what could be your next commercial. LOL❤️🇺🇸❤️)

[@donmiller8152]

[@Lex5576]

Henry has a nice thing going on until Sept. 19, where you can create your own personal serial code for your rifle (12 characters max) I ordered one through Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore, and it's supposed to be delivered sometime in early December, or before Christmas. It's being sold as the H001 "Heirloom Rifle".....$319 plus free shipping. Just can't wait until it arrives. I have a lot of respect for the Henry brand and what they represent. Anthony Imperato is a true patriot that's committed to a Made in USA philosophy.

[@dehnpeterson5650]

Fun video to watch! I opted for the 20" octagon barrel a few years ago for cheap plinking. It is a blast to shoot and very accurate. Quality fit and finish is outstanding! I hope to spend range time w/ my grandson with it to get him engaged, but so far he is much more interested in fishing with me! I'll gladly enjoy time with him with either as both are Quality bonding time to cherish :) ! I sure do hope to spend time with him and this fine starter rifle & pass it along to him for memories. Thanks to Henry for making Made in USA starter rifles for many uses!

[@HenryUSA]

Glad you enjoyed it, Roscoe! We had fun making this one.

[@arrlmember]

I own 6 lever action Henry rifles, plus an AR-7. The only complaint I have is with the Golden Boy. I do not like the Cantilever scope base. If they offered a simple screw on base (like the 10/22 has) it would have been much better, and the scope could be mounted lower. Since I have both the engraved receiver cover and the standard one, I think I will attempt drilling and tapping the standard one first. There are plenty of screw on bases available for both the 3/8" dovetail and the Weaver rings.

[@nathanaelbennett5342]

I have the round barrel one and I love it. Very impressive firearm

[@arrlmember]

My first Henry was the H001. I liked it so much that I ordered the fancy grained walnut stock. The forearm didn't fit, but I hesitated to ruin it with a chisel. I then bought a H001T and the fancy stock and forearm fit perfectly. Looking at Henry's website I noticed the Varmint Express .17 HMR rifle, with a round barrel. It had a high comb stock for a scope and both the buttstock and the forearm were checkered. I ordered those parts and they fit my H001 perfectly, with no fitting required. I put a 3-9 scope on the H001, but thought the octagon barrelled H001 T deserved an older looking scope. I happened to have an old Bushnell Banner 4X scope with a 3/4" tube and a set of Redfield 3/4" rings for the dovetail grove. I am so happy with those two combinations and the fact that Henry had the stocks available.

If your Marlin was made within the past few years, it will have a useless crossbolt "safety" on it. That is the main reason that I now prefer the Henry to the Marlin. My Marlin 336 SC is so old, it is chambered for .219 Zipper. So you know that it doesn't have that useless piece of nonsense on it.

[@AmericanConstellation]

[@arrlmember]

The lever action Henry's require the buttstock, receiver cover and bolt to be removed to be able to clean the bore from the chamber end. The Marlin 60 can ONLY be cleaned with a bore snake. After taking apart both my Marlin 60 and my Ruger 10/22 I purchased a jig to drill a hole in the back of the receiver of the 10/22 for a cleaning rod, but that does not appear to be possible for the M60. Bottom line: The Henry is the best.

[@andyb9994]

Lol...very entertaining, I have multiple Henry's and one is a H001, but I love them all, I do shoot the H001 the most it's just tons of fun and extremely accurate. Not sure what my next Henry will be but I'm sure I will love it as much as the others. 🇺🇸

[@ditzydoo4378]

The Henry classic carbine starts at $378, the Frontier at $512 and while both are exceptionally well made, they can hardly be called budget friendly guns. However you could buy from Ruger a 10/22 carbine with Weaver 3x9 scope/rings, spare magazine and gun case for $399. Just $21 more than the Henry classic alone. That's budget value with a vengeance.

[@arrlmember]

It depends on where you live. I used to have a 10/22 "Sporter" model with the walnut checkered stock. Then one day CA proposed legislation that would have declared all semiautos with detachable magazines to be "assault weapons." Feeling that I had to get rid of it while I could, I took it to a dealer and traded it in for a Henry H001. The next thing that happened was the bill was modified to exempt rimfires, then the governor vetoed the whole bill. Anyway I ended up with a Henry, and have purchased several more since then. Most of the 10/22's that I own now are made from 80% receivers. Another thing about the 10/22 is since it is the most popular and most customized .22 available, you can go broke with all the aftermarket parts that are available. I would say that the Henry is better if you want to shoot it. The 80% 10/22 is great if you like to play with your lathe, mill, drill press, etc. Some folks prefer one activity, others prefer the other hobby.

There is much I really like about this rifle, however in the process of sighting it I was disappointed to discover the instruction manual advises to use a rubber mallet to adjust the rear sight for windage.

Any recommendation on replacement rear sight?
