Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots 1st Henry in the flesh

I just put a a 44 mag Henry single shot in Lay A way $395.00 plus tax! 1st 44 mag Iv seen and the 1st one the store has gotten in! The wood is Killer butt stock and forarm! I wish Id taken some pics! Iv been looking at these for awhile, and this is the best wood on one that iv seen! they also had 30-30 243, and 20 gage and a 410 on the rack! was wanting a 357 but the wood on this 44 mag was to good to pass on! cant wait to get this rifle!

I will end up with one in 44 mag if I see one with good wood. The online sellers are use stock images rather than actual photos.

I bought a 357...i am amazed at the accuracy. One inch group from a non free floated pistol cartridge rifle? Yup.

Where's the like button on this thing? Color me impressed.

Yeah. The guys I was shooting with were laughing. We kept passing it around to shoot. Was like a 35 caliber pellet gun.

How much trigger pull weight did you lose by changing the spring? (assuming you did).

Reeds, formerly Northern, uses a real pic, I believe. I just rolled the dice.

Pappy...i did NOT do it yet. Been working 2 jobs and just haven't gotten to it. But it can only get better

TWO JOBS!

Crap, I don't even have one (unless you count waiting for direct deposit😛).

Excuse accepted.

I would rather have one. By a long shot. But it is what it is. Told a very bad boss goodbye and took a large pay cut for doing the right thing. I refused to break the law or look the other way while he did

Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Where I worked for 40 years, bosses came and went, so you just had to wait the duds out.

Only one I own. Lever .410.

It’s had a few hiccups. But seems to be running fine these days.

Ran some Trail Boss loads through my .308 today; 110gr Speer HPs over 13gr. First three at 50 yards in one hole; two more cut that cluster.

155gr Nosler Custom Competition over the same load spread wider. Going to seat the remainder of those deeper in hopes of doing better. Got a bunch of other 150s to try as well, but the main goal was to find a good load for turkeys and offhand practice, and hopefully duplicate a similar load I used back in the 80s on a fox and a few chucks- DRT to max. These Speer bullets are about as cheap as you'll find.

Beginning to think the Henry deserves a bit more scope than 2.5.

Would y'all mind sharing the spring part number, I have a Grainger's close by.

Thanks
Doug

Pappy348 has that info

Thank you. He just answered my PM.

On the other hand...dry fire and shooting at the range have smoothed and lightened the trigger without switching the spring yet

Thanks again, won't get the gun 'till Monday or Tuesday. Got it from Academy for $339.99 plus tax. Total OTD is $381. Will try the dry firing and range trick.

And i did get an email from Henry stating that any centerfire of theirs is fine to dryfire.

I wish they had the single shot in 41 magnum to go along with my Ruger Blackhawk.
