Review: Henry Octagon Pump 22

The company revered for all-American lever-action rifles actually builds a significant number of firearms outside that cowboy scope. In fact, Henry Repeating Arms offers a healthy dose of single shots, a semi-automatic, a few youth bolts, and the one with perhaps the greatest cult following - the Pump Action Octagon. Here’s what you’ll want to know about one of the few slide-driven rimfires still in production today and why it remains a solid seller.

My Mom taught me how to shoot on a Winchester pump .22. I still have that gun, and i recently added a Henry pump to the collection as well.

I have Moms Winchester mod 61 pump (mid 1940s). I added a Henry 001 classic and 2 Ruger Wranglers. You can"t go wrong with Henry and Ruger. I gave up on Winchester when they moved out of the USA---Buy American the job you save might be your own.

Thanks Kristen for all you contribute to the industry. You said you are a sucker for the old classics...well I am 75 and available.

I have my mothers model 61 Winchester pump. It was made in the middle 1940s. It has 24 inch round barrel -walnut stock and for arm. Chambered in .22 long rifle - long +shorts. Its hammer less. It works very smooth and is a nail driver at 100+ yards with a good scope..........I have a Henry 001 classic and 2 Ruger Wranglers , thinking about a Henry 22 mag pump when I can save up the $$$. Great vid-keep up the good work.

Great Review. Very clear, concise and articulate. I bought the gun based on this review.

[@johnscreekmark]

You're a pretty good shot with that!!

[@photobyTaps]

Very nice! That 22 wmr could be my "if I could only have one rifle" solution

Kristin is one of my favourite reviewers. Another great video!

25 yards, open sights, freehand...Made a believer out of the center of that target...

[@christophereger1053]

Sweet little rifle. I used to have a Colt Lightning and loved it!

[@thewildernesswoman1953]

"Used to have"? Time to snag another! An old Colt Lightning is still on my wish list...

[@michaelthompson7570]

Luv your reviews! More please….

[@rickiejacobs5910]

Be nice to add to my Henry 22 classic, but seems like most models of Henry rifles are sold out here lately.

[@pnotuner1]

If you feel the need for a pump action 22, do yourself a huge favor and skip the Rossi Gallery Gun and get the Henry.

[@charlesharper7292]

Just ordered one. Thanks for the review! ♥️🌹

[@georgewashington7312]

I'm hoping my grandpa will purchase one of these rifle for my bday.

[@jamespmcguire4355]

Great review

[@ironmikehallowween]

I want one

[@brianbrinegar6086]

Sweet!

[@doughesson]

Reckon they'd put threads on the barrel for a suppressor?

[@nopro5433]

Great Review! Well covered.👍🏻

[@skeggjoldgunnr3167]

Wow. Your trigger finger discipline! The mark of someone that has been surprised before by a hair trigger. Like being handed a doctored-up revolver and it fires the instant you fit it into your hand?

[@davidanderson5432]

Nice shooting.

[@phxamigo]

damn good shooting!

[@tonynewman777]

Live in the DFW area what's the best place to buy??? Who keeps these?

[@electricandlspower]

Man I wish I could buy one with a threaded barrel version.

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

You've been playing too many computer games.

[@tomstone6247]

It's made cheaply with no receiver , barrel riveted to a trunion with two steel rails , It's not a pump , it's a converted lever action , that's why it's hard to operate , overcoming the very small fulcrum point , The cartridge guide is cheap zinc pot metal , all of this covered by an aluminum receiver cover , I bought one , wouldn't feed right out of the box , Henry's customer service sux , wanted me to send it back at my expense , and only offered to buy it back at a loss to me , no thanks . Buy at your own risk .

[@danielcruz2256]

Make a video if it's true. Which probably isn't
