Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to check out the humble H001L Lever Action Carbine.
Henry Repeating Arms I just bought my son this rifle for Christmas.... Can't wait to give it too him...😬
i love mine soo much till i dont fire it much and keep it extra clean and oiled
Henry Repeating Arms I just got one yesterday
Just picked one of these up on a great sale at Academy today. This makes two Henry's now, my other is a brass receiver 357 and it's a great rifle too. Keep it up guys, next on the list is a Long Colt =)
I love my Henry big boy 357 out of all of my guns it's my favorite awesome piece of American craftsmanship!!!
Made in America, by Americans and I am proud to say this American has several in my collection and several more to come. Anthony the owner is a top shelf human being and the customer service is the excellence of days gone by. Thanks Henry Repeating Arms.
Made in the United States
The very first gun I ever owned was given to me by my dad. It was this rifle, carbine length, standard lever. I still own it and I love it to death I'll never sell it. Many a small game this rifle has helped me eat.
That says leagues about this rifle
The rifle arrived today and I dialed in the scope just a couple hours ago th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL . I haven’t shot with a scope in probably 25 years. The X on the left was my target. (the shot almost in the bullseye on the right X was my father in laws first shot after I made adjustments) The two shots circled are my first 2 shots. Then I brought it down - shot once. Then brought it over to the left. From there zeroed it in to dead center. This all was from 25 yards out. Follow instructions carefully when mounting the scope. So far I'm very happy with the purchase.
This was my first rifle, and it's been nothing but good to me over the years. Thanks for the review!
This would make a great first (starter) rifle for anyone... my first rifle, when I was a kid, was a .22, as well.
Did you shoot it.
Cause mine went in the river
A young shooter will never be able to cope w this jamomatic

Glad he says “God Bless America, Long Live The Republic”. Most people don’t understand the United States is a Republic not a Democracy. There is an important difference and a good difference.
IRONMAN Democracy is mob rule. Which is something that the founding fathers didn’t want.
Republicans fight hard for the idea that the minority should lead the majority. I wonder why? 🤔
Sara Metz Majority rule = no property rights. Which means no mcdonalds and toilet paper for you.
Sara Metz Democracy has only exist in human history as a transition to tyranny.
@@hannesproductions4302 lol wow, what a leap, my dude. Don't worry, there are just as many boot lickers out there looking out for the corporations and shooting themselves in the foot. McD's might run themselves into the ground with rising prices and shit quality ingredients but democracy isn't going to kill them.
I bought this rifle and it's been great. Wife and kids aren't intimidated by it and everyone has fun plinking. My 7 year old hit an old barrel with his first shot and was really excited. We've had some great afternoons as a family with this gun.
I’ve had this gun since I was 8 years old. It’ll always be my favorite gun.
Just picked one of these up for plinking. Much better quality than I anticipated, nice hardwood stock, deep blueing and slick accurate action. A keeper!
I've had a Henry Big Boy in .357 magnum going on 7 years and it's an excellent rifle. The action was very smooth right out of the box, super accurate and has never had an issue. The only draw back was scoping the older models however within the last year or two they have resolved that issue making it much easier to mount an optic. I'm just getting started with teaching my soon to be 5 year old son with a Savage Rascal .22lr once he is big enough and ready to move up he wants a Henry and when that day comes the squirrels in NEPA are done for.
Nice review thanks for sharing.
Henry has fantastic customer service. I had to get the magazine brass tube with the plunger replaced because the plunger broke. They asked me a few simple questions about the model. Then they sent me the part straight away no cost to me. Thank you Henry
I have always liked leaver action rifles, not because of nostalgia, but because I’m a southpaw. Leaver action guns and southpaws just go hand in hand. I am looking forward to shooting my new Henry 22 magnum for many years to come.
I ordered a catalog from Henry, and received an email from Mr Imperato the day after it arrived. I purchased a Henry Big Boy 44, what an outstanding rifle!!! Love the brass and octagonal barrel... Plus, it shoots GREAT :-) Great company, Outstanding Owner!!!
Thanks Sooch00
22.LR is definitely perfect for beginners! I'd highly recommend this rifle for newbies!
Oldies like the Henry classic 001 and I,m far from a beginner. 66 years young and still banging away. And 2 Ruger Wranglers to go with the Henry. :-)
I love my levers. Years of bolt actions limited my choices as a lefty. Plus you can shoot short, long, and long rifle. Still got my 1901 model '94 'Chester I love so dearly, and will adding more levers soon. Thank you Henry, Marlin, and Winchester for making great lever rifles!!!
Being from the peoples republic of NJ...This is the ONLY good thing that comes from this state. This was my first rifle purhase ever, I love it. Can't wait to buy the 38/357 version.
The 357 Big Boy carbine is a great rifle. Just got one about 3 weeks ago and I love it. Supposedly the 38 specials may have feeding problems but I use the 150 grain round nose Federal American Eagle for the 38 specials and they feed right every time. They are just almost as long in overall length as a 357 158 grain Semi Jacketed soft point which also feed great so that helps.
I had feeding problems with my Chiappa .357. I found that quickly working the action made .38s feed much better.
I too have the 357 mag. Big Boy for about 4- years. Found no problems with 38 spl. Very smooth action and a lot of fun to shoot.
They also come out of Wisconsin.
Yes you are correct. Still, it is the best thing that comes out of NJ, pizza and bagels being a close second:)
Aw man i love it! I just got one for my birthday and it's one of my favorite rifles to shoot and so smooth.. Just a great looking gun! Hell I just turned 36 and was just as happy 2 get my henry as when I got my first 22 at 7 years old..
Comprehensive review, from top to bottom, sights, triger reloading etc. Well done.
We have three of the Philmont commemorative models. I, and my two sons. Had their stocks engraved with the date they received their BSA Eagle Scout and the date, crew number info for their treks at Philmont. Mine has the dates and crew numbers for my Philmont trips. Great 22 rifles.
I bought one of these several years ago and absolutely love it!!! It’s so much more fun than semi auto and it’s so short and light it can be toted anywhere. It’s my favorite rifle and I own many. The open sights are right on the money. If SHTF I honestly might prefer to grab this little carbine and a few thousand rounds of ammo rather than a larger rifle and less ammo. I can carry enough 22lr to keep a army pinned down for a month
The sound of the action just sells it!
Sootch - I gotta say, this is prob the best overall review video you have done. Your turn of the century throwback clothing, the music, the action shots, data provided, Teddy comments, etc were all spot on. Throughly enjoyed it. Thanks for all you do!
It's how so many gun channels are doing lever action reviews after TFB said they suck.. I wonder if that's intentional. Personally I think they are AWESOME.
Gun channels gave been doing great reviews of lever-actions for as far back as I can remember. I think I've only seen one gun channel recently state they suck at about the same time they released a vid claiming bolt-action was superior. Whoever said these were bad have their heads up their own butts and are high on the fumes; lever-action are fun to shoot, are fast, and fill a depth-range that a bolt might not. These are Americana. Don't listen to the Troglodytes say bad things about these. FWIW, I'm looking to get a .38/.357 carbine next year, so perhaps I'm slightly biased.
Anyone who says Lever Actions Suck is a moron! Lol!
Love my Henry! Fun, economical to shoot, solid smooth action and "Made in America or not made at all".
I have the same one. Love the old school feel of the lever action. I also like the shorter profile. Fits my stubby arms just right.
I just bought my Henry rifle .. great gun ,!!
I want every single rifle Henry sells. I'll probably start with this one or the Golden Boy youth for my oldest son
Got my Henry 22 Lever Action Carbine!!
I just love this little gun.. :)
Must have watched this video 20 times! I cant wait to buy one.
Finally did buy one I love it! Its truly a work of art.
@@johnharrington4757 I've only got $70 to go till I can buy one. Is it still really good?
Garrett Irwin yes it's so smooth. The action is very easy to actuate. very accurate .22lr but I noticed It prefers standard velocity. My favorite .22 by far.
@@johnharrington4757 ok I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the quick reply.
@@johnharrington4757 what ammunition do you use? Brand and name please, and how often do you clean it and how do you personally clean it?
great review on Henry rifles in my single shot lever action and pump 22 I like to subsonic CB bullets 20 green LED slugs no gunpowder they only work on the primer ignition source great for dispatching City Critters last squirrel season the slug penetrated the animal and did not go through the only sound you hear from the rifle is the hammer falling great channel
Great video, I love mine! I’ve had it for about 5 years, best .22 I’ve ever shot. I think the lever action is just more fun to shoot than the semi-autos.
I have a model 61 pump 22 Winchester---10-22 Ruger semi-auto and a Henry Classic 001 lever action . Some times it takes me 15 minutes to decide what I want to take out for the day.
Junk had one for a week , retention notch was not cut for magazine tube , jammed 3 to 4 times a magazine! Plastic front site ! Bought a Winchester still have it !
I have had one of these for years! It is a wonderful gun. Fun to handle.
@ 6:12 that spider on the top left was like WTF lol. Great review. I’d like one of these.
I really liked the contrast between a lever action and an autoloader, especially for beginners. It reminds me of how shocking it is that so many people start with an automatic transmission and NEVER learn how to drive.
Ok boomer
Man oh man, I bought one of these just like the one in the video except with a standard lever when I graduated high school in 99. I bought a simmons 8 point scope and a sling the same day and had less then 200 in the whole thing. I squirrel hunted with it for quite some time and killed tons with it. At 40 yards I could hit a dime size target spot every time with cci stingers, that was the load it seemed to favor best. Like an idiot I ended up selling it for 150 and could kick myself ever since. I finally bought another one later but the trigger pull on it was no comparison, it was very stiff. I sold it with no regrets because I wasn't very accurate with it and that bear of a trigger. I do still miss my old one just because and especially considering how they have went up in price as have all guns. Anyhow, i. like the video sootch but you make me miss my rifle man!
My dad got me one in 2000, still have it, has a great trigger on it. Much better trigger that my recently purchased Silver Eagle, but it's still fun to shoot too.
Nice rifle to get some one started in the sport . It's a good rifle at a good price and quality. Most important is to get some one started in the sport. Thanks
Slower than semi - auto ,but will feed and fire any 22, lr ,shorts,cb caps ,high velocity or match. Find me a semi-auto that will do that and I will buy it today! The Henry lever is a perfect prepper 22.
I own this gun and it shoots great. I would recommend it to anyone!
My Henry large loop carbine .22 is definately one of my top 3 favorite rifles.
Great rifles, I like the Frontier model with the octagonal barrel.
Couldn't agree more. My Frontier is a tack driver and has held up great after 1000's of rounds. I much prefer it to my Browning BL-22 which is a higher end .22 lever gun.
Cat Lubber . Oh, really? I grew up shooting my cousins’ BL22, but haven’t shot a frontier...yet....I should have it next week. It wouldn’t surprise me if I like the Henry better. The BL22 is definitely a nice little rifle though
Just got the frontier yesterday.... can’t wait to shoot it!
After a few thousand rounds through the frontier I can definately say I like it much better than the browning.👍🏻
I have a henry frontier 24" barrel, love it. Very nice wood, high gloss octagon barrel.
I have a 1913 Henry still in great condition in 30.30 caliber excellent condition smooth shooting rifle light in weight compared to my marlin an American icon thanks Henry for years of delightful deer hunting god bless
I own one of these in SA. What a great little gun! I love mine.
Just bought one today. Thanks for the video!
I bought a Henry h001 and I’ve cleaned it many times and put more than 3 or 4 thousand rounds through it and had little to no issues with it it’s a great gun

.. Loved your coverage on the Henry .22 lever action.
.. When I was 12, I got a Winchester 62 .22 pump. That will be 60 years ago this coming Christmas. I still have it.
.. I was vacationing in South Dakota at my father's parents farm. We were able to go out to the fields to get some game, any time we wanted. Back then, .22 shorts really saved money.
.. I learned how to reload (or top off) while in the field. I would withdraw the spring tube far enough to expose the loading port. Holding the rifle in my left arm, kind of like a baby, I would be able to pull ammo from my jacket pocket and feed the magazine tube until full. When full, I would grasp the receiver with my right hand and reach up with my left hand to pull the spring tube into the magazine tube.
.. Your review of the Taurus TX22 has be wanting to get one. The magazines cost $22 each. They now have a loading aid for pulling those buttons down.
.. I really enjoy your videos and the way that you inform me of the features, etc.

I don't know what it is about lever action, but I love it.
I’ve got a safe full of rifles including some really nice 22s. I picked up a Henry the other day. Took it to the range today and it was the most fun I’ve had with my pants on in months.
Picked one up last week for $440, first .22 lever action/rifle i've owned. i took it out today and put 200 rounds through it without a single issue, its very straight shooting and super fun to target shoot with! love it
My Henry .22 lever action short cycles all the time!
nothing beats feeling the round enter the chamber on each shot, feels more connected to the firearm. I'm away from home for work out in the west and having my henry 44mag and mares leg 44 mag shipped within the month, cannot wait to shoot it again
Excellent review, thank you! I just purchased this exact rifle after watching this video ($299).
Great video Sootch!
love my Henrys I got to add this Lil one to my collection great video
nice job.
i just bought the Henry "Evil Roy" .22 lr lever action carbine and LOVE it!
THIS is the Henry lever action .22 to own!
the gleaming stainless finished receiver and barrel band against the luscious deeply blued octagonal barrel and rich dark American walnut stock and forend just drips with beauty!
its got a nice slick action as always and my trigger is super nice with zero creep or takeup and a nice crisp break with a good bit of overtravel as most lever guns tend to have.
its got a nice flat brass bead front sight and all steel buckhorn rear sight with a white diamond.
its just a beautiful little rifle.
it holds 12 rds of .22 lr ammo (mine holds 13 rds) in its brass tube magazine and goes through all of them lightning quick if you want.
mine seems quite accurate. ive only tried 2 different ammo brands so far but both produce about 3/8"-1/2" groups at 25 yds with one 3/16" group using iron sights.
i plan to add a gloss black 4x scope in see through stainless rings for a bit more accuracy potential.
man this thing is sweet! if you get a chance check out the Evil Roy model! id love to hear your take on it!
Love my H001 ! Nothing but great reviews from me , great value 👍
ive noticed that this guy never says any negative of the guns he talks about. im sure people who invest their egos in their guns love this channel.
He is forth right about the reviews. He does not review products he does not like.
I only review things I like after a lot of research. There is too much work & time that goes into the final video you see for me to get motivated to do any less. As far as saying anything negative, I mentions issues in every review but unless it's inaccurate, malfunctions or is not durable, the gun sells on it's own merits. Complain when you can tell me something I've missed, then I'll listen. This little carbine is top notch.
I don't know if it was you or the rifle, but my Henry which I've owned for close to 8 years now is far more accurate that what was shown on this video. I love this rifle and am happy to have it over a Japanese Winchester any day.
butt corn sights, never heard of those ;) awesome review as always, keep it up scootch!
once again.....a great review of a fun rifle. It never fails that sootch covers all the details and produces well thought out videos
Most of Henry's walnut comes from Missouri, or it did on my .30-30. I wish I had one of each flavor of everything Henry makes. I'm working on it. But this company is such a pure example of fine American manufacturing, and under sound patriotic ownership and management.
I collect the henry lever action and the Uberti single action pistols. They go well together. I never had the 22 though until my dad passed away. I inherited his collection then added the leather butt stock and sling that holds all the rounds on it. I also added a picatinny rail and scope. It's a lot more accurate that i would have guessed. I can shoot it all day for minimal dollars.
I've had two of these. I sold them both. They're very well built, but in the end, bolt and semi auto savages are more convenient for how I use a .22lr.
I bought this carbine 2 months ago. shooting it with a scope is much much more accurate than using the iron sight. I've been having a lot of fun with it.
I have the same gun with a different rear sight it is now "in the white" because the receivers coating started chipping so I just stripped it down to gun metal gray. I have had it for years and it is a tack driver but the best thing is Henry customer service. I bought my gun long enough ago that they still had plastic front sights and plastic barrel bands, one e mail to Henry and they sent metal front sight and band for free in like 2 days and I broke a firing pin I called they sent a new one free. In my experience they have the best customer service of just about anyone they have really taken good care of me.
Just ordered a Golden Boy in .357 after shooting my Dad's Golden Boy 22LR....such smooth action...my nicer than my Winchesters.
There is NO comparison rifle made. I own this and a Golden boy....wonderful rifle with a scope, it's deadly accurate.
Picked up my first Henry 22lr 💪🏽👏🏽👍🏽😍
Bought one just a month ago at Wal-Mart on sale for $240. This is a nice lightweight rifle as he said and won't wear u out while u enjoy shredding a few targets. The sights have me hitting in and around the center in a nice grouping from 75ft.
Thumbs up for the Mr. Haney reference.
The one con that led me to sell mine in favor of a vintage Marlin Mountie was the inability to separate the action for cleaning. I agree that for the price it can't be beat. The "safe queen" 1964 Mountie cost me nearly 3 times as much as the Henry. Also the Mountie is heavy for a small kid learning to shoot. I LOVE 22's and I enjoyed the video!
I sure love mine! Safe, accurate....great with CCI Subsonic’s (“Quiet”) no louder than a pellet gun. I can shoot without scaring the wildlife or “pilgrims.” I don’t really like loading tube mags at the muzzle, but understand why no side gate. Could Henry do one for single-shot firing? That would be fun with youth.
I got my H001 Plain Jane for my 37th birthday from some fancy location Walmart Upstate New York n June 2017. My serial number is just under the 1,000,000 mark. The week after i got mine, Henry celebrated the one millionth.
I didn’t baby mine. It’s got signs of honest wear because i use it a lot. Thinking of getting a large loop for it as well.
great video as always..
been eyeballing one of these on Grabagun. just might have to pick one up.
thanks again for all you do!!
Just bought me one of these. Not even close to my first gun, but for the price point and the quality you get for that price point I'm incredibly excited. If it's anything like my .357 big boy its gonna be a staple on my range days
Loved the video , love the Henry product . The carbine is my go to rifle when it comes to hunting rabbits , its light and very accurate.
Sootch your are the best!!! - Yet another great gun review...I just picked one up today & I will be enjoying it alot here in Western North Carolina! longlivetherepublic
Very good, Thank you very much
Just bought one,right out of the box very accurate. Very happy with it.
I have 2 black Ruger Wranglers and wanted a good lever action to go with them . I picker up a Henry Classic 001 lever action , love it. All 3 shoot the same ammo . When the grand kids come out we load them up with CCI cb .22 shorts 29 grain , 710 fps. And shoot at gallon milk jugs full of water. They love it.
I hunt with CCI Mini mags 40 grain , 1235 fps , and shoot large varmints with CCI Velocitors 40 grain hollow points ,1435 fps. Plinking ammo for me is Federal Auto-Match--Coke cans. The Henry 001 and
the Wranglers will shoot all most any .22 rounds from cb shorts to CCI Stingers.
Left one out, last summer I a got a boarder collie puppy he was outside and was barking and crying to get in. He had dug up a nest of ground bees and they were stinging him. Got him in the house and took care of him. Went to the gun safe and pulled out the Henry , filled it with rat shot . Declared war on the
bees. Henry 11 bees 0. Up to 15 feet Henry was deadly on bees. Love my .22s.
I just turned 11 and my grandpa got this for me I absolutely love it and can’t wait to go hunting with it 100% would recommend for a first tim Hunter 👍
Love the details you mention. Another entertaining and informative review. Thanks sootch00!
Jolly well done!
Had the firing pin break on my .22 mag Henry..They were really helpful in getting it fixed in a few weeks completely cost free..Great warranty and customer service in my one experience since owning it for 5 years
22 short is the easiest rimfire to come by around here (Portland OR). These lever 22s are a real treat with shorts, especially for kids
As far as I'm concerned this Henry is a staple for every shooter.
Buetiful and reliable.
Had this for a while now.
Great Sunday afternoon can shooting with the wife. And kids. And there friends. And thier kids. And thier kids friends....
And with burgers and dogs on the grill....
Potato salad and slaw.
Lemonade.
As a Star Wars guy, I lol'd at the "No, not the Star Wars Republic" disclaimer, especially since that's my first thought when anyone says, "For the Republic!"
I want a lever action Henry to teach my son how to shoot. Looked at a 10/22 and didn’t want any accidents because of the semi auto ability of it, a lever action is perfect for what I want. Also, I can take it on a a trail ride with my side arm just Incase, nobody will have an heart attack or call the police like they would for my M4’s.
They are fed by a lever , so they can shoot .22, .22LR, and .22short one after another. So that means you can shoot all 3 rounds as needed (or available). Right? Mine is scoped and you can see the open sights under the scope for up close. Very nice value and well made and all USA made.
I just picked up one too day loving it beautiful rifle my first Henry I have a few older Marlin 336s and lever guns are my favorite rifles to shoot I'm picking up another henry in 357 will be money we'll spent
I have the small game version of this rifle with the Skinner sights. Awesome little rifle, very accurate.
I believe Anthony Imperato's father bought the name and rights to Henry way back 80s? possibly. Check out their history with Anthony. I have several Henrys and Communicate with Anthony occasionally, but I try to keep it to a minimum because he is a very busy man!!!!! Thanks for the video!!!! These videos keeps me wanting to shoot my Henrys!!!! Sometimes they include a Henry rifle history with their catalog and a news letter.
As always, great video. I've been a fan for years
Be careful with the finish on the receiver. It's some kind of baked on powder that scrapes off pretty easy once you scratch it somewhere.
I literally scraped some off with a fingernail while messing with a scratch.
I literally scraped some off with a fingernail while messing with a scratch.
Not to mention the receiver is pieced together and made of cheap pot metal. Be careful adding scope base mounts on that low quality receiver. He said there was no cons that he could think of. I just mentioned 2. The barrel is also pinned to the receiver. Thats 3.
Won a Kimber 9mm micro at a NRA banquet and traded it for a Henry frontier 22 mag version of this before leaving. Love it and didn't need another 9mm.
I love my Silver Boy. My only complaint is that it's too pretty for everyday plinking. I do have my eye on the Frontier model.. with large loop of coarse. Great vid. Glad to hear you're just South of the Border!
Nice Mr Haney impression
What no one ever talks about is that a Lever rifle is the lowest maintenance and cleaning firearm. With a lever rifle, all you really have to do is clean the barrel with a couple of patches. you do not need to take the henry levers apart..... just brush some lubricant onto the sliding parts once in a while. PS, this made me get the 357 big boy.
I recently bought a Henry Big Boy Steel in .357. I would put it's quality right up there with my old Winchester 94.
Scrapping the 10/22 jamming machine for this
