My review of the Henry Small Game carbine, a shorter barreled version of the Frontier lever action with Skinner sights. Intro: 0:00-1:14 22 Shorts: 1:14-3:37 Features: 3:37-4:39 Accuracy Test: 4:39-6:12 Issues and Outro: 6:12-8:43
Great shooting. It's amazing what peep sights can do for a lever action. Buckhorn are great for quick shots but the peep gives you that longer sight radius.
Thank you for sharing this video. My Henry Small Game Carbine just arrived this past week and it came with the large loop lever. Lovely rifle... I am itching to get it out of doors.
i got the same henry 22lr carbine but with large loops suitable for gloved hands for only $270. it was a dinged but new in box floor display model sold off by a too-tactical gun store. for anyone with gray hair who grew up on b&w tv cowboy shows, a 22lr henry is a “fountain of youth.” it also makes a great car travel piece secured in the trunk, since anti2a states largely leave lever-action rimfire rifles alone.
Just watched till the end, your groups are honestly about how I shoot with iron sights. Due to my astigmatism I really can't use an appeture sight anymore, it tries to shade in on me. I have to use either very course sights with a white front sight tip or some type of optic. I prefer a low magnification scope.
These Skinner sights are definitely clearer than the buckhorn sights on most other lever guns, but this combination didn't quite work for me. I think I will keep it and pair it with a low power optic too.
I can't speak for Henry's rimfire rifles, but I Love my Henry in .38/.357 magnum. With the cost and availability of .357 magnum right now, I should probably look into a .22 Henry!
I enjoyed most of the Henry rimfires I got to shoot. But I generally didn't like the buckhorn sights and thick brass bead front for distance work. Your results may vary though!
@@professorpewpuew They work good for me, but my eyes aren't what they used to be, so I've toyed with getting some form of optic lately. Hell, some new glasses might be cheaper! 😁
I’m going to replace my dad’s old marlin golden 39a with this but I don’t think it will be as good as the old 39a . It going to have to fill big shoes cause dad ran a brick through it every week when I was a kid . And it still shoots he bought it in 67 at a px in Japan during the Vietnam era.
Why didn’t you send it back. It should be able to zero with whatever sights came from Henry. I’m sure they would addressed that. I don’t believe they would knowingly sell a rifle with miss matched sights.
Yep. Henry has good customer service. I wouldn't be surprised if they swapped the front sight and sent you a cool hat or something "for your trouble." Be well.
It's not the rifle ir it's sights. It is the inconsistant manor in the way he mounts the butt stock on his shoulder. He needs to get competent instruction on how to mount a rifle to his shoulder pocket. Yes, I am a certified firearms instructor.
As an NRA certified instructor, I did notice that you are mounting the heel of the rifles butt stock far too high up on your shoulder. That butt stock should be into the pocket of your shoulder. That would account for the high impacts on target. I have a small game rifle with the same Skinner sights, and it shoots to point of aim at both 25 and 50 yards. Your high inconsistent mounting varies, which also accounts for your shot fliers.
