Henry Rifle Accuracy Problem 

Like you said, sometimes your shooting is great, some days there is a problem. Looking forward to hearing what Henry has to say. It sure looks like a nice little rifle.

I have the Frontier model , octagonal barrel in 22 LR. It is a tack driver.

Looking forward to finding out this turns out, and how Henry customer service responded. RockOn.StayFree.

That's really disappointing. I have the Henry Frontier Model 22LR (24" octagon barrel). I put the skinner sights on it. I bought the same receiver mounted rear sight that you have there, and a tall partridge style front sight. For getting it zero'd, I moved the rear sight down to about one revolution up from the bottom, then used a file on the front sight to get my impacts up to zero (the tall front sight had me about 4" low at 50, initially). Hope you get it sorted out, it's a shame it's keyholing the 50gr. Thanks for sharing!

I never had any success with that 50 grain Federal offering. Three revolvers, three bolt actions and one lever action .22 Mag. have passed through my collection. I hope you work it all out.

I have the Henry Frontier .22 Magnum with the octagonal barrel. It originally had a front post with a brass bead on top which I hated. So I bought a black front post that is a rectangle that was recommended to me by Henry Customer Service. I am so used to shooting 20th Century Surplus rifles, so that is what I am comfortable with. I found that Winchester 40 gr. Super-X FMJ ammo is super accurate at 50 & 100 yards. Unfortunately .22 mag ammo has become so expensive(more than 9mm), that I can't shoot that rife anymore.

I bought one years ago when henry first got on the market. It was a standard lever gun in 357mag pre side loading gate. I did sight adjustment, various ammo types, including 38sp (that it struggled to chamber) multiple shooters (all hunters) and it was the absolute worst rifle ive ever had. Occasionally it would be spot on, then be so far off I felt like throwing it into the pond. Cant say id ever buy another henry. My personal opinion is they're better at marketing than producing top tier firearms (based off the prices they want).

Have you checked for excessive barrel leading? That group is way way too big.

Had the same problem with a Winchester 94 22 mag. The forearm grip and mag tube was twisting one way and then the other between shots. Got it bedded in and all was good.

I never wanted a Henry rim fire , I have seen pot metal fail on other products. Zamack is close to melting point of lead

I agree that the stock sights on the Henry are terribly inaccurate and I don't think they should ever have been stock. Skinner sight would not work with the stock front sight on the Henry I had either so seems they are just another way for us to waste money. With a lower cost scope it can do enough to get a squirrel inside 50, but I'd never compete with it. One of the few firearms I purchased I'd never recommend.

I had an octagon 22magnum from Henry. Accuracy was lousy. I got rid of it. Also had a 44 magnum Big Boy. It keyholes factory ammo. Bore was too big. It was incompatible with handgun, so it’s gone too.

Shooting with iron sites is hard, have a couple of bolt action 22wmr and in my experience the rounds are not as accurate as 22lr. Thanks for the video, learned something about front sites I didn’t know.

Friends DON'T let friends buy Henry rim fire rifles ! It's made in America out of cheap substandard internal parts , stamped steel , and zinc pot metal feed guide , only 1.625" of barrel is captured by three rivets , giving it a break point , The Rossie's are coming into the country broken at that point because they actually used the cheap zinc potmetal as the trunnion , new in the box , there are youtube videos about it . Take the cover off the fake receiver and look at it , measure the stub of the barrel that is captured , I'm truly disappointed , I bought the H003TM .22MAG pump and it wouldn't feed right out of the box , I discovered the cheap crap inside when I removed the cover to see why it wouldn't feed , it was obvious . I called Henry and told them about it , they wanted me to send in a brand new rifle for repair , there's something wrong about that , it should've functioned right out of the box . I paid after tax and all $700.00 , I wanted them to make the feed guide out of steel , they wouldn't , I wanted my money back , and they only offered me their price which was $536.00 , not paying distributor and gun shop markup , I told them I will keep it and BAD MOUTH them until I die . Take the receiver cover off and look at the CHINESE AND RUSSIAN cheap attachment method , 3 rivets . Don't lean it against anything it might fall over from , it will bend right there at the break point . Don't expect good accuracy as the barrel will move on the two cheap stamp steel rails it's riveted to . Enjoy !

Henry QC sucks. Henry component quality sucks. Henry prices suck. Don’t bother with a modern Henry rifle. Better quality and price options out there.

I put a scope on my 22 lr Henry, sure did ruin the the looks of a classic lever gun but it sure did improve the accuracy

I have a Henry Mares Leg in 22LR that shoots 4 inches above the bulleyes at 10 yards. Couldnt fix the iron sights to solve that problem so now it has a scope on it which defeats the purpose of keeping the little thing light and fun. 😑

This gun I had it was terrible for.jammimg, I got 2 golden boys 22 long and 22 magnum and there are flawless perfect shootets
