Just a comment here on Henry service...I bought 2 AR-7s a little over 2 years ago and my son was using his and while cleaning it decided to investigate the trigger mechanism. In the process he let a spring get away from him. Unable to find it he told me what happened and I said I would call Henry service and get a new spring. I called them and got a gentleman on the line who said the service person had stepped away for a moment and could he help me. I told him what happened and he asked me if I cold hold for a minute and I said sure. A minute or so later a woman picked up and asked me what I needed so I told her and asked if I could get a full set of springs just in case my son went exploring again. she said no problem. I asked her if I could get a catalog and she transferred me to the proper line for that. I tried to ask her if I could give her my card number to pay for the spring set but she had already transferred me. After I gave my address to the catalog department I asked them to get me back to service to give info to pay for mt parts. He did so and the woman who answered said she remembered my request and was sending my parts out...2 full sets of springs at no charge to me. I have since bought a 22 Magnum and have a (not so) short list of other Henrys I plan to purchase. I am a Henry believer for life!!!
I bought a HENRY Golden Boy, from Walmart a year ago and asked if I could have one that was not a display item. They said no. I looked the rifle over very carefully and did not see any problems so I bought the Golden Boy, and went home. I had not shot it since I had purchased it and that was over a month and a half when I was looking at it one day I noticed that the gold butt plate was scratched. I was disappointed and thought to myself that that is my own fault for going against my own better judgment when I bought it from Walmart. I called Henry and explained to the woman on the phone that I had purchased it from Walmart and that I had not noticed the scarring on the butt plate. I asked her how much would it cost for a new butt plate. She said no problem, I will have one sent out to you in the mail. I was very surprised, they sent me the whole butt stalk and the plate.
That’s great cost them maybe a few Dollars if not cents…But now they got a couple of hundred and a customer for life if not customers for generations because your son will not forget that and he too will purchase Henry products now that’s what America used to be all about and these other companies need to take notice.🇺🇸
I just bought one of these as a surprise Christmas gift for my 76 year-old father-in-law. He's had a rough year with losing his wife of 53 years last fall, and can use a dose of boyhood joy. I saw the Henry catalog he had requested on his kitchen counter, but I know he'd never spend the money on himself to get one. Can't wait 'till Christmas, this year!
Love that rifle! I feel sorry for the squirrels in your area. I just recently picked up a Henry that I have been wanting for a long time. You will see it soon ;-)
Bought one from WM and when I took it out of the factory paper wrap it had a scratch/gouge near the tang and tang screw. Contacted Henry that night, got a response the next morning and a new stock set 12 days later!!!! Great customer service! Now I have my eye on The Golden Boy! I’m hooked.
Just bought myself the H001TRP model, first day I ended up putting 250 rounds through it lol I just couldn't stop shooting, this rifle is just dumb fun.
Hello from France. I just bought one, I'm really happy. Very good rifle. I prefer the Golden Boy, but it is too expensive in France, almost 900 € (1000 $). The H001 is half price... kind regards.
I have watched a lot of videos prior to making my purchase on one of these rifles. You are the only person who has answered my question about dry firing these rifles. On freestanding that was a good group in my opinion.
This is one of those rifles that is meant to be shoot again and again and again!!! You are so right about that lever action and its smoothness!! Great video Buffalo on one very cool rifle!
You are right about price versus materials. I bought a Browning BL-22 and that has an all steel receiver. It also costs over $600! And while it has nice checkering and all - the trigger is very stiff, almost 7 lbs. That might change after I break it in. I also got Skinner sights. In the case of the Browning, I needed a much taller front sight for the receiver-mounted Skinner rear sight, which Skinner also sells. I plan on getting a Henry lever in 22 mag with Skinner sights one day (Henry has a model with Skinner sights). Congrats on your Henry!
Lately I've been wanting a .22lr rifle for purposes of pest control, primarily, but of course some backyard plinking will also be involved. I considered going with a Rossi Rio Bravo to save a few bucks, but ultimately went with the Henry H001. Just came home with it a little bit ago, actually. Haven't even had the chance to shoot it yet. We live within the city limits, but we keep chickens and quail and rabbits, so varmints have been an issue at times. I wanted to be able to shoot CCCI's Quiet-22 ammo or shorts or even Longs (if I ever find any), so the Henry is just the ticket. I've watched probably half a dozen of your videos (and multiple times each, at that) in the process of researching what rifle to go with. Very well done videos, and very helpful. Thank you. So I just now subscribed to your channel.
Great rifle, Henry makes nothing else, love there guns, have 1/2 dozen, different calibers, bought this one (22 frontier) for the wife, got myself there 22 pump along with their 17 mhr golden boy, love them all 🔫🤠👍🏻
I had the Henry H001 .22 cal here just a few short years ago and let it go, wished now I'd never sold it. I bought it off a co-worker for $200 bucks who had bought it new. It had less then 150 rds through it. Although I sold it to another co-worker for what I gave for it and he still has it to this day,he's happy.
hey, my name is Everett and l am 10 years old and I'm going to buy a henry H001 can't wait thank you for this video iv been looking for a video like this.
Just ordered one for $370 from Sportsmans warehouse, and I'm stoked to take it to the range. The price is a bit more but they are very hard to find in my area these days. I checked 6 gun stores and 3 pawn shops and only found 1 golden boy which was more then I wanted to pay $600+. So I ordered from the SW mentioned
Realizing that I live in Silicon Valley, CA and you live in a rural area of Ky, the first thing that you said that caught my attention was that you said "Zero" and not "Oh." It was then that I realized that your review would be interesting and informative. It appears to be the best Henry review that I have seen. I have noticed the "they used the wrong screwdriver" damage on some of the single action Rugers that I own. A phone call was all it took to get the new parts shipped, they even replaced the wood grips that were damaged next to where the screwdriver would go. After I bought the Ruger bolt action .22 (that uses the same magazine as the 10/22) I noticed that Boyd's was selling a red, white and blue stock that they called "Old Glory." I ordered one, and then called Ruger asking about the purchase of the two metal parts that have to go in the stock. Then when I asked them what they were going to charge me for the parts for this aftermarket stock she said, "Oh there will be no charge." I then cautioned her that before she commits herself to that, she should know that the Old Glory stock would be great on Independence Day, but I also am going to get walnut stock. She said "OK, no problem." and sent me two sets of metal inserts. There can be no doubt that Henry and Ruger are my favorite gunmakers. I think that my custom engraved Golden Boy receiver cover will be delivered tomorrow. Mine will have my Amateur Radio Callsign engraved on it. I have noticed that Henry is making single shot, break open rifles. But they are for only one caliber. What I like about my H&R Handi Rifle is they can factory fit multiple barrels in multiple calibers. Mine has 5 barrels. I really wish Henry would do that.
I do not load my Big Boy with the action open. I tried in the past for safety and discovered that sometimes it causes a jam. I lower the hammer manually and let the transfer bar do its job. The Classic model may not have that issue. I love that Big Boy rifle (H006S). I'd like to get the H001 in the future.
Good point. I have been in contact with Henry since this and other videos on my Henry rifles and ask them why they don't recommend loading with the action open and they explained to me that in some rifles and with some ammunition it will jam the action exactly as you just described. I wish I could go back and say that in my video but once it's posted I can't change it. Thanks for pointing it out. I am going to pin your comment to the top so others will see it easier.
@@buffalosoutdoors OK. Yeah. I'd like to be able to leave the action open and never have the issue, but three times my Big Boy jammed because of it, so I am taking what I consider the next safest route and doing the hammer down/ transfer bar thing.
I wouldn't sell my Henry H001 ever. It really is a great all around 22lr. The walnut stock is great looking. The action works like a gun that twice the money I paid. I topped mine with a Weaver Classic 4x28 Rimfire scope. It really is a very accurate little gun for the money. Service is best for Henry rifles. My forearm was a little loose. The barrel band was as tight as it could be. I called and Anthony hand picked fancy walnut with the tiger striped walnut for me and sent me a half dozen barrel bands to make sure everything fit together perfectly..I was very impressed with the service..Especially on the lowest priced gun they sell...Great company. Next for me is a .357 Big Boy to match my GP100 357 to have the same ammo work for both..Great fun for some cowboy shooting and definitely good enough for some whitetail hunting up to 150yds or so. I will get a Long Ranger someday to when they start adding more calibers to the line up...My bolt gun is a very nice Rem. model 7 stainless chambered in 7mm-08...It is offered in .308 and I would happily take one of those also...Although the 7mm-08 outshoots its parent cartridge of .308. Meaning long range accuracy and energy...but a hit is a hit I always say....Having a metal box mag on a lever gun sounds awesome to me.
You got that right. The sights are really my only complaint on this rifle. They are hard for my eyes to pick up on a dark background, they work fine for my white steel targets but I wouldn't want to try to find them on a late evening or early morning squirrel hunt.
+Buffalo's Outdoors definitely get the Hi-Viz sight!!! The fiber optic rods it comes with are great for tough backgrounds, I'd highly recommend them. Cheers!
I bought one last year for $220 been one of my favorite rifles to shoot and I’ve got 8k rounds of 22 ! Love my Henry such a quality fun rifle to shoot!
I just bought the Henry HO-18 .410 shotgun for my wife for her birthday. It's a real little beauty. we've decided to buy a .22 Henry next. At first I was considering the Golden or Silver Boy versions but given how good this little HOO1 is I think we'll save some money and go with one of these instead. I'm kind of thinking about the Long Ranger in 5.56 quite a bit too, Henry is a bit like CZ in that they can become an addiction.
Great video mate. Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for the effort and info you provided. These are selling for about $569 here in Australia which is dirt cheap for us. Looks like a good little plinking rifle that deserves a spot in my gun safe.
Thanks Buffalo another enjoyable review . After watching this Im going to purchase a Henry Small Game Rifle 22 Magnum H001TMRP. Keep your videos coming.
Great review. Only thing I think is missing from Henry’s is not having a steel receiver and the 2 barrel bands in steel. I think it would be worth the extra money. Thanks
i put my verry first shots with this rifle yesterday, wow! THIS THING IS SOOOOO FUN TO SHOOT!! smooth, accurate, and was able to eat my cheap winchester 555 that im stucked with it since 2010 as my pistol can't shoot it!
Yeah they are very nice. Those Big Boys are a bit pricey. If they had a loading gate on the receiver I'd have bought one when I bought my Marlin 1894. That was the difference for me.
I've been working up some reloads for mine as well. Still haven't found anything really stunning but I have some decent recipes. I love the 1894, you'll see it soon, it's on the agenda for a video this month. I'd like to try one of the Henrys as well but I couldn't afford both and like I was telling UziNineMillomeetah, the loading gate being on the receiver was the tie breaker for me.
I have a few favorite loads for 44. I'm a Keith bullet guy myself when it comes to 44. I run 18 grs of 2400 powder for a general duty magnum target load, 20.5 grs of 2400 for a heavy magnum load, and 20 grs of N110 for a heavy duty load. All with the Lyman 429421 Keith bullet. If you want to run 44 specials, I love 5.2 grs of Bullseye with the same bullet. They are tack drivers. If you run the Keith in your Marlin, you may have to run them in 44 special brass because of how long the Keith bullet is loaded. I think I like 2400 powder and the Keith bullet because it was Keith's load when he brought the 44 "magnum" to remington all those years ago. He took the 44 special to heights nobody would have ever thought, and the 44 magnum was born. I shoot more 444 then anything else. Great video Buffalo
Get one, man. I found a Henry .357 at a Cabela's used gun rack for a price so low I did a double-take. It's probably the most fun rifle I've ever shot.
I had this same model Henry about 6-7 years ago bought it from a friend of mine that he had bought it new from Academy Sports. He wanted $200 for it and I thought that was good deal no more then he had used it. I kept it about a year and sold it to another co-worker for what I gave for it $200. I wished I'd never sold it,but I had the tactical fever back then and bought a Sig 522 Classic Carbine. I've been thinking about selling the Sig and buying another Henry or Marlin. I've gone back to my roots of firearms with wood furniture. Must be a thing about growing up in the 60's and early 70's lol.
Hey man you sound like me. I go back and forth sometimes. It seems like no matter how far I stray though I always end up with a lever action and a revolver in my line up.
I was born in the 80’s and grew up in the 90’s and early 200’s.. I’ve got a Glock and an AR for my modern needs but all my other guns are wood furniture lever actions and single action revolvers.. and like them more than the modern guns. I don’t think it’s the generation you were born in just the appreciation of beautiful guns
I was talking to a buddy about getting a lever action and thought, I wonder if Buffalo's has done a video on one, sure enough, here we are. I am definitely thankful to you for another rockin video - Happy Thanksgiving :)
I like the Golden Boy but I'm rough on my guns, I knew I'd be putting it through some briar patches and scuffing it up so I went with the plain classic model, I still won't enjoy putting dings on it but it won't hurt quite as bad....lol
Buffalo, That's a good point. The H001 is a great "hacking around" gun, especially if kids are going to be using it as well. I think of my Golden Boy as a "range gun." It's too pretty to take out into the back country.
Nice video, Buffalo. I know guys that wouldn't part with their Henry for anything and I know guys that wanted to smash theirs to pieces. This is my experience with Henry rifles. I purchased a new octagon barrel 22Mag about 4 years ago and after "breaking in" the barrel and shooting from a lead sled at 50 yards the best grouping was 3". I tried several different types of ammo and wasn't able get any better than 3". To me that wasn't acceptable so that one got traded. I also had someone ask me to check their 22LR because they felt it wasn't very accurate. Using the lead sled and firing 10 rounds the spread was 7" at 50 yards. The action was very stiff and also failed to eject constantly. I suggested he contact Henry for servicing. I've handled several Henry rifles in retail stores and for the money they "look" okay but my actual experience shooting Henrys hasn't been impressive. I've shot several and feel their workmanship isn't consistent. I shot one that was very accurate and had smooth action, one was very accurate but had a very stiff action and several with very nice actions but not accurate at all. I do agree they have great customer service.
Great comment. I think most viewers and certainly my subscribers understand that I only have one sample when I do a gun review. However there are a few folks that don't fully understand what that means and comments like yours help to get that across. My sample worked as advertised but that doesn't mean that every rifle Henry has ever produced has done so. I appreciate you taking the time to leave your comment here so others can read it and also the fact that you kept it clean. I get a lot of comments in my spam filter (I try to keep the comments section halfway respectable here) where people go on a big profanity filled rant about how I must be lying since their gun didn't work like mine did.
Great video! Great job showing and displaying this fine piece of American craftsmanship and also some fine shooting you have done here!! Keep up the great work! I have a H001 that just needs for me get there and pick up. :)
That issue with the screw is on mine that I just bought. Mine is damaged all around the screw as well and in a couple of the other screws as well. Mine is also from Walmart and seems to be the only one left in my area so I'm lucky I got it.
I have two of the Silver Boys, I did not like the semi buckhorn sights and changed them out to the Hi Viz made for the Henry. I had the Marlin 39 years ago and had to give it up to go to Germany in the Army. I think the Henry is as good if not better than the Marlin.
Way to go Buffalo! We have the H001, the H001Y ( Seraphinas )and a Big Boy in 357 . ( MINE ) Going to add to that collection as much as I can... looking toward a 45 70 and a 30 30. Skinner sights for all! Appreciate your channel!
I restored an East German Erma/Iver Johnson EG-712 lever action rifle last year. It needed a new Rcvr cover... The Henry H001 is an exact match to that rifle. They acquired the rights to manufacture it and I'm glad to see they remained true to its design.
I've seen one of the earlier ones with plastic barrel band and front sight. It looked fine, but I took a dim bird of the plastic. I prefer the "alloy" to plastic. I miss my 39M.
Just a comment here on Henry service...I bought 2 AR-7s a little over 2 years ago and my son was using his and while cleaning it decided to investigate the trigger mechanism. In the process he let a spring get away from him. Unable to find it he told me what happened and I said I would call Henry service and get a new spring.

I asked her if I could get a catalog and she transferred me to the proper line for that. I tried to ask her if I could give her my card number to pay for the spring set but she had already transferred me. After I gave my address to the catalog department I asked them to get me back to service to give info to pay for mt parts.

I hope to hear from them.
something similar happed to me got a new rifle and the store had scratched the receiver they sent me a new one grear company will buy many more
That’s great cost them maybe a few Dollars if not cents…But now they got a couple of hundred and a customer for life if not customers for generations because your son will not forget that and he too will purchase Henry products now that’s what America used to be all about and these other companies need to take notice.🇺🇸
I just bought one of these as a surprise Christmas gift for my 76 year-old father-in-law. He's had a rough year with losing his wife of 53 years last fall, and can use a dose of boyhood joy. I saw the Henry catalog he had requested on his kitchen counter, but I know he'd never spend the money on himself to get one.
Can't wait 'till Christmas, this year!
How did he like it? You spend some time shooting with him? God bless!
Awesome !!!
Made in America or not made at all. Damn right
Just love listening to this guy talk ‘rifle’. Obviously quite knowledgeable.
Love that rifle! I feel sorry for the squirrels in your area. I just recently picked up a Henry that I have been wanting for a long time. You will see it soon ;-)
Can't wait to see it! I'm really diggin your channel man.
Buffalo's Outdoors Thanks Buffalo! You are too kind :)
You tell 'em Scott. Kenfolk.
Bought one from WM and when I took it out of the factory paper wrap it had a scratch/gouge near the tang and tang screw. Contacted Henry that night, got a response the next morning and a new stock set 12 days later!!!! Great customer service! Now I have my eye on The Golden Boy! I’m hooked.
Fantastic customer service for sure and a quality product. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the great review. Henry is my favorite .22 rifle without a doubt. American made and just wonderful in every aspect.
Just bought myself the H001TRP model, first day I ended up putting 250 rounds through it lol I just couldn't stop shooting, this rifle is just dumb fun.
Hello from France.
I just bought one, I'm really happy. Very good rifle.
I prefer the Golden Boy, but it is too expensive in France, almost 900 € (1000 $). The H001 is half price...
kind regards.
Awesome, congrats on your purchase!
My first gun. Australia. $800. Love her.
I have watched a lot of videos prior to making my purchase on one of these rifles. You are the only person who has answered my question about dry firing these rifles. On freestanding that was a good group in my opinion.
I've had my Henry for 4 years, made a slight sight adjustments , It is chipmonk accurate at 30 yards! Love it!!!
Henry makes a beautiful rifle, no matter the cost
Agreed.
Not really. You should have seen mine out of the box. They aint carpenters.
@@dannyarmstrong2013 first time I ever heard that.
@@T.A.B.Videos me too.
Just heard from Henry, they are sending a new stock.
Dude...that was great shooting! I just ordered one for about $100 more than you paid. Prices never come down
That’s the nature of inflation/the fiat currency scam we’re stuck under!
This is one of those rifles that is meant to be shoot again and again and again!!! You are so right about that lever action and its smoothness!! Great video Buffalo on one very cool rifle!
Thank you! I wish I could have done it better justice. You will see this one again soon though and I'll try to do some better shooting.
That dry fire knowledge gave you another sub. Thank you.
You are right about price versus materials. I bought a Browning BL-22 and that has an all steel receiver. It also costs over $600! And while it has nice checkering and all - the trigger is very stiff, almost 7 lbs. That might change after I break it in. I also got Skinner sights.

I got one and love it, had it for years. Never had one problem with it.
I done a lot of research, as I always do before I make a firearm purchase, and problems with these rifles are few and far between.
Yep flawless after thousands of rounds. Not 1 Misfire or Jam. Thank you henry!@ this one is a keeper
i own 5 henrys. love all of them. best currenty made rifles and awesome service.

Action and furniture are of a high standard on Henry rimfire models. Excellent value
Love of all levers including the 410..... thanks Buffalo .....
I love my new Henry. I bought the H001L which is the .22 Carbine with the larger lever loop and a slightly shorter barrel length.
Great rifle, Henry makes nothing else, love there guns, have 1/2 dozen, different calibers, bought this one (22 frontier) for the wife, got myself there 22 pump along with their 17 mhr golden boy, love them all 🔫🤠👍🏻
I agree they make some great rifles. I wish I had more of them!
Got one myself, love it

I've foolishly sold two of these. I'm buying another soon, and I won't be getting rid of it this time!
Thank you for another great vid.
These are great rifles to have around for many different reasons! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Buffalo's Outdoors
I got one for my B-DAY. It's my 3rd one, and I'm never selling it.
Walmart has them the cheapest
hey, my name is Everett and l am 10 years old and I'm going to buy a henry H001 can't wait thank you for this video iv been looking for a video like this.
Dont share your age, theres a lot of weirdos on the internet theese days. Im probably buying one too soon as well.
A great .22 rifle. Always fun to shoot. I would recommend a Marlin 60 as well....Get both! You won't be sorry.
My first gun was a Marlin Model 60. I'm hoping to get my hands on the Henry H001 as well. Love shooting .22.
I have this Henry and 2 Ruger Wranglers Great cowboy combo now all I need is a cowgirl hat LOL I like the marlin 60 but love my 10-22 Ruger and BX 25s
Just bought one and wanted to get a little extra info on it. Great review. I really like your easy-going reviewing style. I just subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate it!
yet another nice little rifle I'd be happy to own.
They are very nice, especially considering the price point.
I love the camera placement. feels like a video game.
Just ordered one for $370 from Sportsmans warehouse, and I'm stoked to take it to the range. The price is a bit more but they are very hard to find in my area these days. I checked 6 gun stores and 3 pawn shops and only found 1 golden boy which was more then I wanted to pay $600+. So I ordered from the SW mentioned
Best review of this rifle I’ve seen. Thank you!
I have that 22 and a 17hmr and 44magnum. I love them all. You just can't miss with the 22 so easy to shoot. Enjoy and happy shooting.
Thanks and I agree!
Man you're not lying when you say those Henry's are smooth, they really are! Great video once again!
Yep, probably the smoothest lever actions out there, thanks for tuning in !
Thanks, those rifles are awesome.
You're so welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
You're doing a great job on your videos and giving a real world review and assessment of the product. Good job, great videos and thank you much.

I have been in contact with Henry since this and other videos on my Henry rifles and ask them why they don't recommend loading with the action open and they explained to me that in some rifles and with some ammunition it will jam the action exactly as you just described. I wish I could go back and say that in my video but once it's posted I can't change it. Thanks for pointing it out. I am going to pin your comment to the top so others will see it easier.
@@buffalosoutdoors OK. Yeah. I'd like to be able to leave the action open and never have the issue, but three times my Big Boy jammed because of it, so I am taking what I consider the next safest route and doing the hammer down/ transfer bar thing.
I have the henry H010 steel in 45/70 and load it action open the drop one in the chamber for 6+1 and have had no issuse in the first 100 odd rounds.
The H001 is a great rifle. Have had one for over 30 years.
Henry is the best lever action guns ever made
Great editing work. one of the better firearms videos out there. Especially for what seems like solo work. Subscribed.
just got mine finally..love it..great action &
awesome accuracy out the box
I wouldn't sell my Henry H001 ever. It really is a great all around 22lr. The walnut stock is great looking. The action works like a gun that twice the money I paid. I topped mine with a Weaver Classic 4x28 Rimfire scope. It really is a very accurate little gun for the money. Service is best for Henry rifles. My forearm was a little loose. The barrel band was as tight as it could be. I called and Anthony hand picked fancy walnut with the tiger striped walnut for me and sent me a half dozen barrel bands to make sure everything fit together perfectly..I was very impressed with the service..Especially on the lowest priced gun they sell...Great company. Next for me is a .357 Big Boy to match my GP100 357 to have the same ammo work for both..Great fun for some cowboy shooting and definitely good enough for some whitetail hunting up to 150yds or so. I will get a Long Ranger someday to when they start adding more calibers to the line up...My bolt gun is a very nice Rem. model 7 stainless chambered in 7mm-08...It is offered in .308 and I would happily take one of those also...Although the 7mm-08 outshoots its parent cartridge of .308. Meaning long range accuracy and energy...but a hit is a hit I always say....Having a metal box mag on a lever gun sounds awesome to me.
Now that is customer service! Thanks for the great comment!
I’ve always wanted this rifle. Gotta buy one!
They are very nice!
Good sights always make shooting more fun.
You got that right. The sights are really my only complaint on this rifle. They are hard for my eyes to pick up on a dark background, they work fine for my white steel targets but I wouldn't want to try to find them on a late evening or early morning squirrel hunt.
Guess you are just stuck to hunting albino squirrels. :-)
+Buffalo's Outdoors definitely get the Hi-Viz sight!!! The fiber optic rods it comes with are great for tough backgrounds, I'd highly recommend them. Cheers!
Enjoyed it. I'm eager to get a Henry H001.
They are very enjoyable!
I bought one last year for $220 been one of my favorite rifles to shoot and I’ve got 8k rounds of 22 ! Love my Henry such a quality fun rifle to shoot!
Great video and demo, thank you!
A Very Nice Review on this Henry 22 Rifle.
Thank you.
I just bought the exact model. Beautiful rifle. Love the Walnut.
I just bought the Henry HO-18 .410 shotgun for my wife for her birthday. It's a real little beauty. we've decided to buy a .22 Henry next. At first I was considering the Golden or Silver Boy versions but given how good this little HOO1 is I think we'll save some money and go with one of these instead. I'm kind of thinking about the Long Ranger in 5.56 quite a bit too, Henry is a bit like CZ in that they can become an addiction.
Great video mate. Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for the effort and info you provided. These are selling for about $569 here in Australia which is dirt cheap for us. Looks like a good little plinking rifle that deserves a spot in my gun safe.
These are great plinkers indeed! Hello down under from Kentucky!
Thanks Buffalo another enjoyable review . After watching this Im going to purchase a Henry Small Game Rifle 22 Magnum H001TMRP. Keep your videos coming.
Thanks! I am glad you enjoy the videos!
Great review! One of my favorite guns made. So much fun. Extremely reliable. Easy to carry. Thanks.
You and I have very similar tastes in firearms. I don't know if it's because you turn me on to guns you like or if I turn you on to guns I like??? LOL
Henry makes my second favorite rifles. I have an oo1 in .17hmr, and in .22 mag. But im holding out for a Browning .22
Love your different tone steels. That's a fun sound.
I have the carbine in that model and shoot cci quites also. It's like shootin a cap gun. Love it!
I got my Hoo1 a few yrs ago, put a $35 RDS with grn/red lighted reticles and a red laser sight for my ol' eyes. As accurate as I can hold it! :)
Great review. Only thing I think is missing from Henry’s is not having a steel receiver and the 2 barrel bands in steel. I think it would be worth the extra money. Thanks
Receiver I believe is steel. It is the receiver cover that is not.
Aug '22.. just picked one up at Sportsmans Warehouse for $349 plus a 5% military/vet discount!! awesome little rifle.
Just got the 22 Win-Mag version, I put 100 rounds through it so far, SO MUCH fun to shoot!
you do a great job with all your reviews
This was a good video. On the subject of Henry H001 .22 and lever .22s in general.
My brother bought a .44 mag lever action and loves it, I'm looking to get one is .357 mag. Looking at them at the gun shop the quality looks flawless.
i put my verry first shots with this rifle yesterday, wow! THIS THING IS SOOOOO FUN TO SHOOT!! smooth, accurate, and was able to eat my cheap winchester 555 that im stucked with it since 2010 as my pistol can't shoot it!
Very nice man. I've had my eye on one of those Henry .357 guns. Little pricey but the Henrys are so classy looking.
Yeah they are very nice. Those Big Boys are a bit pricey. If they had a loading gate on the receiver I'd have bought one when I bought my Marlin 1894. That was the difference for me.
I have a Marlin 1894 in .44 Cal. and love it. I worked up a reload for them that shoots Very well in it and my Thomson Center pistol too.
I've been working up some reloads for mine as well. Still haven't found anything really stunning but I have some decent recipes. I love the 1894, you'll see it soon, it's on the agenda for a video this month. I'd like to try one of the Henrys as well but I couldn't afford both and like I was telling UziNineMillomeetah, the loading gate being on the receiver was the tie breaker for me.
I have a few favorite loads for 44. I'm a Keith bullet guy myself when it comes to 44. I run 18 grs of 2400 powder for a general duty magnum target load, 20.5 grs of 2400 for a heavy magnum load, and 20 grs of N110 for a heavy duty load. All with the Lyman 429421 Keith bullet. If you want to run 44 specials, I love 5.2 grs of Bullseye with the same bullet. They are tack drivers. If you run the Keith in your Marlin, you may have to run them in 44 special brass because of how long the Keith bullet is loaded. I think I like 2400 powder and the Keith bullet because it was Keith's load when he brought the 44 "magnum" to remington all those years ago. He took the 44 special to heights nobody would have ever thought, and the 44 magnum was born. I shoot more 444 then anything else. Great video Buffalo
Get one, man. I found a Henry .357 at a Cabela's used gun rack for a price so low I did a double-take. It's probably the most fun rifle I've ever shot.
I had this same model Henry about 6-7 years ago bought it from a friend of mine that he had bought it new from Academy Sports. He wanted $200 for it and I thought that was good deal no more then he had used it. I kept it about a year and sold it to another co-worker for what I gave for it $200. I wished I'd never sold it,but I had the tactical fever back then and bought a Sig 522 Classic Carbine. I've been thinking about selling the Sig and buying another Henry or Marlin. I've gone back to my roots of firearms with wood furniture. Must be a thing about growing up in the 60's and early 70's lol.
Hey man you sound like me. I go back and forth sometimes. It seems like no matter how far I stray though I always end up with a lever action and a revolver in my line up.
I was born in the 80’s and grew up in the 90’s and early 200’s.. I’ve got a Glock and an AR for my modern needs but all my other guns are wood furniture lever actions and single action revolvers.. and like them more than the modern guns. I don’t think it’s the generation you were born in just the appreciation of beautiful guns
really appreciate how your production value has been going up big time lately. Thanks man! keep rocking it
Thanks for noticing! I am always trying to learn new things to make better quality videos.
Great video, always enjoy your commentary and sincerity, happy shooting stay safe, from Barry here in beautiful central Pennsylvania.
Love my Henry too!! As for the .22 long I actually found some CCI at Sportsman Wharehouse for $9.99 and funtion well in Henry
Cool. It's finally making some appearances here as well. I buy a box every time I see it just because it can be so hard to find.
I was talking to a buddy about getting a lever action and thought, I wonder if Buffalo's has done a video on one, sure enough, here we are. I am definitely thankful to you for another rockin video - Happy Thanksgiving :)
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well! Thank you!
I just got one of these. They are super fun to shoot.
Another great video Buffalo. Congrats on the purchase.
Thank you.
My local dealer has the Golden Boy with the large loop lever in stock,,I'm about ready to make the plunge.
I like the Golden Boy but I'm rough on my guns, I knew I'd be putting it through some briar patches and scuffing it up so I went with the plain classic model, I still won't enjoy putting dings on it but it won't hurt quite as bad....lol
Buffalo, That's a good point. The H001 is a great "hacking around" gun, especially if kids are going to be using it as well. I think of my Golden Boy as a "range gun." It's too pretty to take out into the back country.
I've got a couple of older 22's for beating around the woods.I'd keep The Golden Boy in a nice carrying case and just use it for target shooting.
It's very important to keep a beater rifle or 2 around!
garageguy879 plunge on!!!
Loved this. Thank you.
Delightful video...informative and 'down home' entertaining. Great job!
I have a few Henrys.
Gonna get that Evil Roy version soon!
beautiful little rifle. thinking about getting one
Great info thanks for your expertice. I'm taking advantage of black friday to add this model to my colection 😉
Awesome!
Hello, really great presentation on your video. Good job!!
Thank you!
Nice video, Buffalo. I know guys that wouldn't part with their Henry for anything and I know guys that wanted to smash theirs to pieces. This is my experience with Henry rifles. I purchased a new octagon barrel 22Mag about 4 years ago and after "breaking in" the barrel and shooting from a lead sled at 50 yards the best grouping was 3". I tried several different types of ammo and wasn't able get any better than 3". To me that wasn't acceptable so that one got traded. I also had someone ask me to check their 22LR because they felt it wasn't very accurate. Using the lead sled and firing 10 rounds the spread was 7" at 50 yards. The action was very stiff and also failed to eject constantly. I suggested he contact Henry for servicing. I've handled several Henry rifles in retail stores and for the money they "look" okay but my actual experience shooting Henrys hasn't been impressive. I've shot several and feel their workmanship isn't consistent. I shot one that was very accurate and had smooth action, one was very accurate but had a very stiff action and several with very nice actions but not accurate at all. I do agree they have great customer service.
Great comment. I think most viewers and certainly my subscribers understand that I only have one sample when I do a gun review. However there are a few folks that don't fully understand what that means and comments like yours help to get that across. My sample worked as advertised but that doesn't mean that every rifle Henry has ever produced has done so. I appreciate you taking the time to leave your comment here so others can read it and also the fact that you kept it clean. I get a lot of comments in my spam filter (I try to keep the comments section halfway respectable here) where people go on a big profanity filled rant about how I must be lying since their gun didn't work like mine did.
Very nice review.
Cool that you got your own 22 leveraction now.
I think you got yourself a good one.
Thank you. I really like it. I had been needing one for a while.. :)
How could one not want one of these?
Super presentation..appreciate all your videos. great safety explanations envious of your Ky. range. keep up the great work
Enjoyed the video and the information. I have the .30-30, the .22 is next.
New subscriber here. Outstanding review! I'll be looking for one of these at the gun show in town tomorrow. Thanks!
Welcome to the channel!
That's what I am looking for it's a nice looking rifle price sounds great thanks
Great video! Great job showing and displaying this fine piece of American craftsmanship and also some fine shooting you have done here!! Keep up the great work! I have a H001 that just needs for me get there and pick up. :)
Thanks! I really like this rifle. Go pick yours up!!! :)
That issue with the screw is on mine that I just bought. Mine is damaged all around the screw as well and in a couple of the other screws as well. Mine is also from Walmart and seems to be the only one left in my area so I'm lucky I got it.
I have two of the Silver Boys, I did not like the semi buckhorn sights and changed them out to the Hi Viz made for the Henry.
I had the Marlin 39 years ago and had to give it up to go to Germany in the Army.
I think the Henry is as good if not better than the Marlin.
Way to go Buffalo!
We have the H001, the H001Y ( Seraphinas )and a Big Boy in 357 . ( MINE )
Going to add to that collection as much as I can... looking toward a 45 70 and a 30 30.
Skinner sights for all!
Appreciate your channel!
Pretty cool rifle I think I will get one of those
Very nice review!
Thanks!
Thanks for reassurance regarding occasional dry fire
HAY buffalo how are you great job on the video iam thinking about getting one for my self it would be my first rifle thanks God bless
I have the 17hmr and I can promise you it was NOT under $300 but it is a smokin' little rifle.
I restored an East German Erma/Iver Johnson EG-712 lever action rifle last year. It needed a new Rcvr cover... The Henry H001 is an exact match to that rifle. They acquired the rights to manufacture it and I'm glad to see they remained true to its design.
Thanks for you post! You taught me something today.
My pleasure... I really like the channel.
Didn't ya have a Henry Youth 22 a few years ago? Great review Buffalo!
Yes, it was actually a loaner from a friend of mine. Great little rifle.
I've seen one of the earlier ones with plastic barrel band and front sight. It looked fine, but I took a dim bird of the plastic. I prefer the "alloy" to plastic. I miss my 39M.
After you take the receiver cover off are the insides steel? Another great video by the way.
