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

I must have missed all the pre-hoopla!

Just got an email notice that Henry Arms will be shipping a single shot shotgun and a single shot rifle later this year. Have to read the reviews and maybe handle one, but it's a good bet that either a .243 or a 20 guage are in my future.

Do I need them? Not at all. But I like that type of SS and there just aren't enough Savage 219s and 220s out there any more (and NO .243s!). And ANY responsible US gun mfr.deserves the support of those shooters who want to and can.

Whatta ya think?

If it looks good, and has a good barrel, more power to them.

None of their other designs have gotten me terribly excited, however

Thank goodness the price is reasonable I wouldn't pay much more for an H&R clone.Not impressed as with their lever guns but that's just me.

welll....it ain't horrible looking, and it's fairly cheap...

a .44 mag is a pretty smart addition, if Ruger chokes and doesn't run their #1's in it. Apparently has decent scope mounting provisions.

These look more like a Stevens 94 clone than an NEF/H&R. We'll see when some show up, or we get a review. I could use a "beater" .243, and if these take down easily, that is a real plus to me.

I was pretty excited about the .44 mag.,until I found out that it has a 1in38 twist!

Where'd you see that? What about the others?

I emailed Henry Arms.

Why no 30-30?

Any word if they're switch barrel? I like the looks of them.

I'd like to see one in .32 H&R Mag, or some other centerfire small game chambering.

At 7 pounds, pistol grip and thick recoil pad, the 45/70 looks like a good choice in a steel frame.

They could use a lighter frame and stock for the pistol calibers.

^ ^ ^ ^ should have been the first one on the list ^ ^ ^

I too prefer 30/30. It has a rim. I am also old. The new generation likes the 9mm, 223 and 308. That is reality. Business is business. if the guns becomes a success, Henry could offer other calibers. The options available cover all N. American hunting. That is a good start. is it that big a problem, to suffer with a 308?

myself, i have enough .308's.
the availability of a 30/30
would be the only reason i would
have to buy one of the new henry
single shot rifles. most younger
shooters wouldn't buy a single at
all unless they were brought up
using one with a mentor. they'd
most likely choose an ar of some kind

Or one of the several $300 bolt guns available these days.

Every .308 has a free .30/30 included at no extra charge, with a little load tweaking, but I agree it should be added to the list. Personally, I'd like a .357. I also hope they went 1-8" on the .223.

The contoured receiver has it all over the H&Rs on looks, and unlike TC's "pistol" action, the design allows for a normal stock profile. I'm not a fan of Henry's other stuff, but this one looks good.

The lines of this gun are much more appealing than H&R. The wood on the gun on their website looks nice as well.

I love my T-C G2 Carbine, but have to agree that the "pistol" basis for this gun makes it so ugly you have to call it oogly! And I've never see one customized to make it attractive, at least to me.

But they DO shoot. And the switch barrel feature is pure gold. Hope the Henry rifles have that at some point.

Suspect that they are all on 12-guage frames, and will stay that way for production cost reasons. Savage's fine old Model 219 was that way for all its production life--a 12 guage Model 220 (NOT the new bolt action 220) barrel fits my .22 Hornet and .25-20 219s perfectly, just needs a shotgun forend and you're in the scattergun business. A good idea whose time has returned....

Another huge IF is the trigger. If it's no good and hard to tune, that would be a deal killer.
