Home Forums Lever Action Central Rimfire Levers Henry 22 mag

I picked up this clean used Henry 22 Mag with a 20" octagon barrel yesterday. I changed the sights on all my leverguns to a fine white bead and a flat top rear sight; this one got that treatment immediately.

I got it rough-zeroed on steel this AM and accuracy looks good with Armscor 40 grain JHP. Three shot 50 yard groups were often under an inch and at 100, they were 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches. Sighted 1 1/2" high at 50 yards put it right on at 100. By covering the top half of the 14" gong with the bead, I hit it 2 out of 3 at 200 yards. I ran it vertical, sideways etc. Feeding remained slick and effortless and it handles like a 94 Winchester.

The only thing left to wish for was a fine trigger and this evening, I cleaned it up to 2 1/2 pounds.

This little dandy is going to get a workout.
