That’s the rifle the younger scouts love! Easy to load and use, no recoil and they love the lever action. Once they hear that first PING they are hooked! It is fun to teach them then step back and watch them handle the rifle all by themselves. Teach em right!
They have a way of making that kind of impression on their owners. I'm the same way. I kinda feel guilty if I go out into the fall squirrel woods and leave the Henry behind for something else!
I have this rifle. I love this rifle, I wasn't aware it was so capable! My son raved about it to his little sister! Why that's significant is he's now a total computer kid (young man) and my little Tom boy is girly now. He went on and on about how smooth it shoots and fun it was to run the action on it! Thanks for sharing the video!
It's nice to have a firearm that will cycle everything you put in it. I have an old Remington Fieldmaster pump action 22 that cycles whatever I feed it
My father bought a new Henry 22 lever action and never took it out of the box. He called me today and said he wanted to give me something. I now have the Henry and boy is it a nice quality gun. I can't wait to shoot it
Good video Buffalo. I'm going to get a Henry .22 for my wife. She has really enjoyed the Heritage Rough Rider I got her and I believe she would enjoy a .22 lever action rifle even more.
I have three 22Mag Henry Rifles, one is a pump the other two are level actions. The pump had some problems before Henry fixed it (at no charge, BTW) and now the pump rifle has more than 600 rounds through it and has zero miss fires or any cycling issues. Plus, I use every type, make and load of the 22mag ammo, zero problems. The two level action rifles are the same, and what a hoot to shoot!! Way to go Henry Repeating Arms Rifle!!! Sorry, I know this is about 22LR ammo, but I just had to say this about these great Rifles and Company. ️
Thanks for this particular video. I recently bought a Golden Boy and was unsure about shooting CCI CB Shorts because of the owner’s manual warning. After watching your video, I think I’ll go a little ‘Outlaw,’ myself, and shoot some CB-type ammo to get more rounds per tube fill-up. Stay safe and keep having fun! Grace and Peace
We just bought this rifle today...can't wait to get it to the range...our bigger calibers stay in the safe, we can afford to shoot .22 every day if we want to...
We have 2 golden boys, 22 and a 22 mag. Both eat everything you feed them. Both shoot great and very accurate. I’ve shot lots of different stuff through them and no probs, including shot shells. Just like he’s demonstrating. 👍👍👍
I've had one of those for a few years now and absolutely love it but never thought of running all those different kinds of ammunition through it ! I have put many, many, many rounds of long rifle through it and never had a problem. That was some real interesting sounds with different ammo ! 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
I recently acquired a Winchester 22mag lever action from my wife’s uncle. It was locked up, apparently they don’t cycle 22lr 😂. I told him about it and he graciously still told me to keep it. Beautiful little lever gun
Cool new video, love to see that Henry and action. Keep these videos are coming. Great entertainment for me stuck in the darn hospital since last Friday don't know when I'm going to get out hopefully soon. Echo
I always load my Henry 22 the same way as you, for safety reasons. Never have had a problem. Only rounds that jam up in it are CCI Velocitors, nothing else does.
The H001 is a great rifle BUT its missing something. Add a Ruger Wrangler to it and you have a perfic pair to hunt and plink with. Same ammo fits bough of them. Great vid ! I have the Henry and 2 black Wranglers , can"t beat them together.
Thanks a good video man. Great gun i have the same one. Eats everything ive throne at it. Its about the best 22 i have. Thanks Buffalo this channel is great.
Yeah, I have a lot of fun shooting mine. Funny you mad a video about the Henry. I've been having fun shooting mine lately with shorts at steel at between 50 a 80 yards. Don't know why I get a kick out of the delay between the bang and the ting on the steel at longer ranges. Thanks for the new vid. Take it easy man. *:-)*
Awesome I just fixed my Remington 572 yesterday. Going by sound I’m going to pick up some cb long or quiet whichever one I can find for cheaper. Thanks!!
Buffalo's Outdoors Shoots just fine. First time it’s been fired in ~30years, I have only been shooting it for 5-6 days now but it’s loads of fun. I want Santa to bring me a Remington 552 or a Springfield M1a.
Maaan, everytime YOU shoot a gun, I want to own it! Another fantastic video Brotha Buffalo! You may not have one of the biggest RU-vid channels, but you have (in my humble opinion) one of the most honest, informative & genuinely entertaining channels. Whenever I get lost in the big channel shuffle, I always find my way back to "Buffalo's Outdoors". Thanks for doing what you do! Now, time to start saving money for this Henry. "Um, for the kids." Yeah, that's what I'll tell the wife when she says, "ANOTHER GUN???" 😏😁
Great as usual Buffalo. It looked like those shot shells or one of them at least put a good pattern on the plate. @ about 6minutes 53. lovely little gun.
Yeah I saw that. I don't know why I didn't mention it but I think both rounds put a few pellets each on.... I was kinda impressed, I haven't had good results with those. Maybe I should do a pattern video with them?
@@buffalosoutdoors Yes Buffalo, good idea. It would show at least what they are capable of. They are bound to be pretty limited, but before all the laws changed in Britain, I had a little 9mm shotgun. The barrel was less than 24" long so it became difficult to keep, as it would have needed to be registered as a firearm rather than a shotgun. It was limited obviously, but the ammo was cheap, and it would kill rabbits out to about 10 yards or so which made it ideal for hunting railway embankments and the like.
Great video, just watching it now, but I've seen a few of your videos already. I have a Henry Big Boy .357, it's a great gun. I load it with the lever closed and hammer down, no issues, I believe that's what the manual says. I think I'm gonna have to get either the Henry Classic .22 Rifle or the carbine with the large loop lever. I have an AR7 Survival rifle, but I've had issues with failures to feed. Sent it back to Henry twice, waiting for it to be fixed and returned. I offered Henry a straight up trade, the Henry Classic .22 for the Survival Rifle, we'll see what happens.
If it has a tube magazine that you load from the muzzle end, I always have the action open, both my browning BL22 and my Winchester 94 22 are loaded the same way
I had a lot of comments on my other video telling me how dumb I am for doing that so I thought I'd explain this time around. There are some that I can't load with the action open but the ones I can...I do.
Buffalo's Outdoors from what I’ve seen you have one of the better channels, and from what I’ve seen you’re one of the better shots off hand, just keep doing what you’re doing don’t worry about the haters, thank you for taking the time to make these videos
Great vid! Today I put one of these and a 10/22 on layaway. I was split between the Henry and Ruger...then thought, what the heck, they have both in stock so why not buy both? lol
Great video. Can you do one with CCI Copper rounds? Here in California we are only allowed to use lead free ammunition and curious if they will cycle well. Thanks
I’d like to get my hands on one but they’ve been out of my budget for a 22. I did pick up a Glenfield/Marlin model 20 that is an oddball. It will shoot shorts/longs/long rifles out of the 7rd magazine. It’s also old enough to have the good Marlin micro groove. I have a nice 1979 Marlin 60 to accompany it to. Got to love those utilitarian guns that will shoot anything you out in them
@@buffalosoutdoors Still a novelty though, as most of us use bolt guns which do need to use regular length ammo, or else fire it one at a time. I enjoyed it and it showcased how handy the little Henry is.
Ian McKenzie according to the web one million have been sold two million if you count the variants, I’m not sure who most of us are but if I have my Henry is around people with 10/22s they want to use the Henry. I suppose all of my 22s could be considered novelties but they sure are fun to shoot.
Buddy of mine cleaned out his garage and gave me a few thousand rounds of 22’s. Some long, some short, some LR etc. I also have been wanting a lever action for a while. I think I found the perfect rifle. It looks great, has a great reputation, it’s very reliable, it’s priced great and it will shoot the hodgepodge of different 22 ammo I have. To top it off, my local gun store has a nice collection of 22 Henry’s. I think I am gonna go after the Golden Boy. It’s just meant to be. Now just gotta decide, do I want the 20” or the 16.25 compact? Decisions, decisions….
Btw to add on to my comment, I name all my rifles. I know it’s already got a nice name in Golden Boy but I like to give them female names. I was thinking Roseanne since she will eat anything 😆
Awesome cool video thanks for sharing. Which shot were the quiet ones? Also, I live near Henry Factory. I'm over the state line near it. Can I go to the factory and buy a rifle there?
Outstanding 👍👍🇦🇺 I'm looking for a rim fire to start my youngest Daughter and Son 7 and 6yo and that Henry looks great, and should be obtainable Down Under. Thanks for the video 👍👍🇦🇺..
I started my son 7 on a savage rascal 22lr, I reckon the single shot bolt is far less confusing and easier to teach new/young shooters. Plus it will fire whatever you chamber in it. Steve QLD
@@LoneWolf-zw5yn Your right but both of mine have shot an old daisy lever acrion BB for about 12 months, so the Henry looks good as they step to up to rimfire, but they are also dam pricy here in Aussie (NSW) .. Cheers Mate 👍🇦🇺
Great video brother! The .22 is judged and overlooked as “useless” *way*. to often by gun owners. My response to gun owners that are always nothin’ but recoil hungry is the same: “so you wouldn’t mind being shot with a .22 magnum then....seeing how it’s so useless and all. LOL The opinion changes real quick after that realization!! Almost every firearm, , and every caliber/gauge, have their uses, and often enough it’s specifically what the gun owner needed to begin with! By the way, I’m glad to see that you worked things out with your super awesome sound technician 😉
I absolutely love my Henry .22 , but for what ever reason it shoots shorts 6 to 8 inches low at 50 yards. My dad's pump Henry shoots them just fine and as accurate as longs.
It won't be as accurate for shot as it would be in a smooth bore. That's why Henry came how with the new rifle that doesn't have rifling. It's designed for 22lr shot shells.
.22 are so much fun. I had the 17hrm frontier, regret trading it in. ABSOLUTLY loved it but ammonwas $$$ and very limited here. I want to get the Henry with side gate but cal is 44mag only I think.
Always enjoy your channel. I have to admit I kinda cringed when you were loading your Henry with the lever open. Only because I loaded my 44mag big boy that way one time and spent 30 minutes trying to unjam the mechanism. It was never a problem with the Winchester I had.
Well, there you go, and I sold my H-001 Henry to my nephew,...why did I do that?? Oh well! Have you ever done a video of the effectiveness of .22 shot shells, if not, now might be a good time, I mean I'd like to see that. Interesting video, thank you.
@Paulie’s Walnutz LOL, yes I well imagine they're efective at close range,..I would like to see shot patterns at different footages to see where the shot is most effective. Thanks though, for your comment.
Surprised those 20grain Colibrí rounds actually had enough puff to overcome the longer barrel and get out. Looks like Aguila rates them at 420 fps muzzle. I'd load up a brick of Aguila Supermaximum 1700 fps and just let 'er buck. Or some of those 40gr Interceptors. Great thing about a lever .22 or revolver .22, they'll eat any crappy ammo without problems.
New rifle, 22 long rifle spine, 22 short had issues. Rod would not go down, would like up. Will not go down and lock. So couldn't shoot 22 shorts today. Yes, had the correct amount even less. Try different ones. I'm missing something mechanical
