Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Just noticed that Henry has single shots coming.

I don't, but I do understand it's trajectory and it can't trump a 30/30 slinging 125gr BT.

My problem is figuring out which caliber I want. Thinking the .223 and .243 should be fun little guns.

Contacted Henry about interchangeability of barrels for the new SS rifle. Was told that they won't be interchangeable and they will not be offering the barrels separately.

I can live without that, a crappy trigger not so much.

The .30 caliber models can do it all with a little fiddling, and .357 would be a nice addition for us revolver guys.

I like that they kept it traditional looking instead of going tacti-cool. If it sells, aftermarket stuff for that segment of the market will follow. Offering too many options all at once could spoil the whole deal.

Re trigger: I will be grateful for a gun that can be disassembled with reasonable effort. Unlike the H&R, I see screws in place of pins on the receiver. That is a good sign.

Re tacky: So far Henry has stayed away from the dark side.

Re aftermarket: The old H&R could be purchased with a slender short youth barrel and the short stock. That was from H&R. The short LOP stock could be replace with a light weight plastic aftermarket. Choate, I think. I guess it was black, but not to tacky. I believe all that resulted in a 243 under 6 pounds.

I am looking forward to seeing some of these.

There we go. I'll buy one.

Since they're offering the Big Boy in .41, that would be nice in the SS too.

1-38 twist same as #3 Ruger I believe.

That bothers me not in the least. It's hard enough to keep track of sheit, much less pulling the wife's Christmas decorations out looking for a 20 gauge barrel.

When I want a 30/30, I grab a 30/30. I don't want to switch barrels to have my 30/30. Let the TC boys enjoy the LEGO rifles.

I asked Mr Imperato about the single shots in 41 Magnum, if more of us do maybe they will make a run. They are making the barrels already. I would much prefer to have a single shot .41 over a lever gun personally.

A 222 Rem, 303 British or 35 Remington would be mighty interesting and I could dig a 357 Magnum too.

If they would run a few in 25-35 Winchester, they might sale 2-3.

Make a nice low recoil deer stick.



80 grain TTSX at around 2,800 fps

A .35 Rem. would be SWEET! I would have to have one of those.

I wish for the love of God that SOMEONE would come out with a 25/35.

I remember when Winchester announced it years ago. Told GF, I'm getting one! Seems they rolled out about 17 and then discontinued the Model 94.

Fuggers..

Myself I would like to see a 250-3000 or a 300 savage maybe a 405 that my like

You got that right.


After they discontinued the 94 the prices skyrocketed. You would think that someone at Winchester, Marlin or Henry would take note of this.
A limited run of 500 - 1,000 units would sale.

Why am I thinking....

Get a .308 and have it rebored to .358?

This thread got me to go look at Henry rifles yesterday. It was the first time I'd actually examined them closely; looked at a .30-30, .45 Colt and a .22 lever.

I'm still ambiguous about a couple of their lever action design features probably because I'm old school (or just old ) but was impressed by the obvious quality of the build. Nice wood on all of them with some decent grain, very good wood to metal fit, good triggers, the actions opened and operated easily and smoothly and the overall finish was excellent. They had a very pleasing "solid" feel about them.

If these single shots continue that same quality they should be very well received.

No way, I'm not giving away insider info to just anyone!

I've about given up finding a reasonably priced Ruger No ! in 45-70. The steel gun looks pretty good.

Ought to be pretty "sporty" in that light rifle.

With all the interest in 20ga slug guns, a rifled 20 might sell. I imagine an inline .50 might work as well. The retail listed for these ain't all that much more than some TC barrels go for, and they're not dog-ugly.
