I've had a couple Henry .22's that work great, and my daughter won one at our state match two years ago, which, as far as I know, has also worked great. Her boyfriend has popped a lot of gophers out back of their house with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jailhouse Jim, SASS #13104 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 When I started CAS, I used a Winchester Trails End 94 with a John Wayne loop. The naysayers on the wire vilified the 94 but my experience was that, while it was slow and a bit clunky, the rifle ran perfectly even though it was 45 Colt using BP. I also use a Chaparral that has been vilified on the wire. It is my favorite rifle. The moral of the story is, some guns aren't as smooth as others but you can still enjoy the game.

Probably the worst choice for CAS. But if you already have one bring it and shoot it. I had one. Traded it in on a Uberti 66 which I like much better. Agree +1 to what Tyrel Cody said.

I have one made by HRAC. It it a great rifle for target shooting and plinking and just to show off. And, I agree with what others have said about the Henry Company. A world class company with great service. However, for CA shooting, I'll stick with my short stroked 73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know...that's the way the original Henry was loaded too. But for me it's very clumsy for loading. The tube loading is the only reason I ever even consider a henry. I can't stand how they look.

Grampaw Willie, SASS No.26996 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 as the legendary Ms Tammy said Quote After all that's happened it doesn't matter anymore (Phone Call) when are we going to allow M1911 -- in any age-base category?

Red Cent Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Oh, I love drama Pat. Was that pure sarcasm or did you forget to put a smiley a the end? His royalness, Anthony, told me that nobody sells a Henry. I invited him to look at the SASS Classifieds. As far as the rifle, he said he didn't care if it didn't do well in SASS competition. And no, I did not vote for accepting it as most of us did. Took the WB to approve it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I don't know much about the Big Boy models but the Henry .22 lever rifles are nice and can be slicked up to be one of the finest feeling and fastest .22 lever rifles. I gave my nice 9422 to my daughter after I set up my Henry .22 lever rifle. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cent Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The inexpensive Henry 22lr lever gun is a lot for the money. And it can be made slicker than the ol' doorknob stuff. Easy to disassemble and grind away. Mine has a replaced front sight, an ivory bead that is super for speed. Too big for bench rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always figured the Henry met the spirit of the game or the technical definition of the rules. I also figured if an 1897 shotgun is okay, Rugers are okay, why not the Henry? I have a Henry Single Shot 45-70. It is now legal for Plainsman and Long Range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 PAT, now that you are on the mend and will probably be shooting again this summer, you and the Henry 45-70 might be sending shockwaves and trembling nerves thru the Cowboy ranks. The thunderous 'BOOMS' can already be heard echoing thru the valley here in TN..... ..... give em the ole 'whatfor'. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Found the Henry to be heavy after shooting a Marlin 94 all these yrs. Marlin is also easier to service and 'deep' clean. The Henry is a good looking rifle, and the pride of workmanship shows. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
