Good ole plinker with some fun testing....shotshell is always fun just not cheap....Good stuff...
Good point. I paid 5 dollars a box for those CCI and there's only 20 in a box.
Really like the look of the garden gun you ol short stroker. Great video Buffalo. Very useful information.
LOL! You got me. I'm a short stroker for life but I'm not ashamed ;)
Killed a big rattlesnake in my back yard 3 weeks ago with that same shot shell out of my 22 revolver. It works, thanks for the review on the shot shell and rifle.
Where do you live?
Awesome!
Many thanks buffalo for the video,that black ash wooden furniture is real nice looking I like that
I thought it looked nice too. It has a good feel to it as well.
Well done
I have has those break while being chambered in a golden boy, the shot made it lock up. They also pattern worse than the crimped type. I use them on red wasps.
Kill all those red wasps! Those things get me every summer!
Starling & pigeon removal
Yep! Good reason!
On behalf of that beat up piece of roofing, I both gave this video a 👍🏽 And it was subscribed to the channel whether it wanted to or not 😎 I think the Henry would also be a great platform for younger hunters to learn on before they hop on up to 30-30, or my personal favorite, the 45-70. Of course it would take a little while for kiddos to, not only learn the mechanics of the rifle, but also the 10 commandments of firearm safety! Great video as always!!
Awesome comment as I agree with you about it being a great teaching tool. Thank you my friend.
Always! Look forward to the next one!!
Great video, I using a Marlin 39A and it seems to be working well at about 7-11 ft. 5 shots, 5 rats.
I've only ever used .22shotshells in revolvers. One of my favorite tricks is to put 2 balloons 1/4inch apart& bet friends I can pop em both with one shot by shooting between them...of course I don't let em know I'm using a shotshell till after I shoot. It's a fun gag to play on them. PS, I didn't know Henry made a smoothbore .22. I've got the large loop short,long&long rifle Henry .22 carbine with the rifled barrel, which I love.
Your channel rocks, thanks Buffalo!
Very good video
Thank you!
So much fun.
Thank you!
Fascinating! Thank you! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
I'm Kenneth Edward Barnes and I'm an outdoor writer and author of many books of several genres. In the fall of 2019, Henry sent me their new Garden Gun and I tested it with several different shot shell loads and at several ranges. I also tested other smooth bore .22s and several .22s with riffling. I have an article about my results in my book "Barnestorming the Outdoors: Revised edition" on Amazon. I have used the little .22 shot shell since I was fourteen and that was in 1965. The CCI shot shell was the worse in pellet count and in pattering. The pellets in the shot shells from CCI are not uniform in size, some are number 12, but many others are even smaller and are size dust, which is the smallest size I know of. I tested the shot shells from Federal, Remington, Winchester, and one from Mexico.
Could you do a video of the 38 snake shot vs the newer 38 #4 shot shell. Thanks for your videos.
It might take me a bit but I wrote it down. It is on the official list! Thanks for the suggestion.
Love your accent.
Thank yee!
Zombie rats ,I've seen pictures! 👍
Man don't let that bug bite you if I saw it correctly it's a bug that we can text is here fear it's got a nasty bite next one you see kill it so it doesn't produce more it's a very dangerous bug, and thank you very much for the pattern demonstration I was curious about that myself I carry the birdshot in alternate rounds on a revolver when I'm out in the woods here in Texas
Shew man I don't want no bites! My sister had to have skin grafts and nearly lost here hand due to a secondary infection after a brown recluse bite about 10 years ago. Thanks for the comment!
I like that smoothbore! I just wonder how well, or if, it will shoot regular 22lr?
I had no intention of shooting solids through it but with all these comments it looks like I've got to give it a try. Thank you!
@@buffalosoutdoors I looked at the rifle on the Henry website but it didn't say if you could, or could not, shoot regular 22lr in it. If you can, and the bore is tight, I'm thinking it will still be pretty accurate at shorter ranges. Either way, be safe (I know you will!) 😎
Thank you but I think Winchester make a brass bullet you could have tried also
would this damage a rifled barrel? I'm relatively new to the gun market so sorry if its a really dumb question.
Strange, at 15 feet the pattern is way better than at 10 feet and at the same time it looks as the effective limit of those pellets.
Scorpion outdoors channel ?
Ha~ That's got a better ring to it than Buffalo's Outdoors!
I wonder how the garden gun would group with regular bullets just in case
whats the point of these when 410 is a thing?
I get .22 shotshells for a little pistol or something for snake or varmint on a mower or tractor, but if you are going out to the shed or field to target rats/mice/birds why would you ever chose this over a .410? I have only fired .22 shotshells from a pistol but could just be me.
I'm not arguing for or against, just showing what it does. Thanks.
Dude your tke a wide stance and leaning forward like your ahooting a 4570! Bhahaha
Useless
Yes, you are.
I'm supposed to be editing my own videos but then I got your notification... great video and info
Thanks so much for taking time to check out my video Chuck. I know you're a busy man and I appreciate what you do buddy!
Yup....I would of tested that bird shot...on that spider...lol...
When I ask if he was a subscriber he raised one of his legs. I took that as a sign to let him live. Otherwise he'd have been blasted!
@@buffalosoutdoors lol..
Buffalo is refreshing after an impeachment searching and fishing day. I wonder what the range would be with bullets in the smooth bore?
I had a smooth bore bolt action single shot for rats... The pattern with these specific rounds was really random. Sometimes they were really clean like Buffalo showed. Sometimes the capsule stayed together and produced one hole. Weird.
I prefer a really old Charter Arms .22 revolver, with worn out rifling. Great at 10 feet.
Old hog rifle (garden gun) is Okay out to about 25 yard's or so with a plan lead .22rd. mine was anyway
@@michaelhedgepeth5106 Well, thanks bud that's good to know because a man's gotta know his limitations.
@@michaelhedgepeth5106 thanks for the info!
Subscribe to Mark Dice channel for actual news. He covers the stupid nonsense almost daily, with a very humorous twist showing the utter foolishness of the left.
Buffalo, I would love to see that smoothbore shoot regular long rifle rounds... if it shoots 2" groups at 30 feet, I can think of several uses for this little gun.
Also, Henry rifle, I would love to see a 2 barrel take down of this little gun.
I had no intentions of shooting solids through this thing but due to the overwhelming majority of the feedback I have received from this video it looks like you guys have forced my hand!
@@buffalosoutdoors Just be careful and don't blow it off!
R. Akers what uses??
That ash furniture would look great on a h001 model. Thanks for showing the garden gun first video I have seen on it.
Thanks Scott. I appreciate Henry for being open to sending me a T&E gun just to show the difference in patterns. The Ash sure looks different and it feels different too.
But... can you shoot hand thrown clays with it!!??????? Love to see that video just for fun
Remington made smoothbore .22s years ago. They even thought about have indoor trap shoots using .22s with smoothbores on small indoor targets. Great video, thank you.
They didn't think about it they did it for many years I have some old NRA clay targets made for .22 LR smooth bore competition they are just over 1" in diameter every body keeps saying they don't pattern good when they are using the wrong gun 😂😂😂 I bet their 12 ga. Rifled barrel patterns bad too 😂😂😂😂
I actually laughed out loud at the spider bit. xD
Didn't even know the garden gun existed, thanks!
Are you a Buffalo Outdoors fan? Are you subscribed to the channel?
Hahahahaha
".... yethhhh.."
He caught me by surprise! ;)
@@buffalosoutdoorswhat kind of spider? Northern mn is too cold for the bad spiders lol
Thanks for the test, Buffalo! I had been wondering if the Garden Gun was worth it or not.
I've got to buy a H001 to replace the one that I gave away. I fell in love with that little rifle!
They are sooooo much fun! Thanks for the comment Pat. Sorry for the slow response. I always appreciate all you guys' comments!
I think that’s a great idea but I think Henry should come out with a take down with two barrels one rifle and one non-rifle, I know Winchester used to make guns in multiple calibers like that same action just different barrels, I seen one that was at Winchester 1886 in 45-90 and then it had an extra barrel and 50-110
That would be handy as sliced bread!
Just bought a Henry Garden Gun today. Looking forward to trying it out.
I gotta know how accurate it would shoot normal 22lr ammo at different distances...bet that video would get plenty of views! Thanks Buffalo, you're the best!🙏👍🇺🇸
I had no intention whatsoever of shooting solids through it. BUT due to the comments I have gotten on this video it looks like you guys have forced my hand! I'll have to put a few through it just to see what it does just keep in mind it was never intended for that!
I figure you'd be better off buying a real cheap old 45 colt or 38 sp revolver and loading the snakeshot in those for much better results
I did not know they made a 22 smooth bores. That is pretty cool. How does it do with regular rifle rounds?
I haven't tried it with regular ammo but it looks like I will have to due to all the comments I've received! Thanks!
What a coincident i just sent a mail to a gunshop a order on a henry 22
Cool!
At night, we'd use to go into the barn turn the lights on knock rats off the rafters with 22 rat shot. Great vid!!
We shot them in chicken houses. Spent every dime I had on cci shotshells back in the 80s.
That sounds like a hoot to me! I'd enjoy the heck out of that!
Now the smoothbore begs the question, "how does it throw .22 lr & .22 short bullets"?
As I read through these comments tonight I realize that now I must shoot some solids through it. I had no intention of doing so since it's not made for that but you guys have pinned me against the wall and now I NEED to know too...lol thank you for the suggestion!
Not well.
I want to see how lead bullets shoot from the smoothbore!
I am sitting here reading through the comments tonight and comments like yours are the overwhelming majority. You guys have forced my hand! I gotta do it! ;)
@@buffalosoutdoors Success! Thank you!
the demo of 15 rounds - did you get the spider? ;-)
I sure hope so! ;)
I wish they had a side loading gate
With a .22 I can kind of understand why the Henry's don't have a loading gate.
Rifled or Smooth Bore it doesn't matter - you're always on target, brother. (a little corny, I know ;) Thanks Buffalo!
I appreciate it corn and all my friend! I always appreciate your comments.
I've been using 22LR and 22MAG shot shells for years, glad to see the Garden Gun from Henry! Thanks for the demonstration :)
Guess you took twist rate out of the equation.
LOL! I reckin I did! ;)
Always calming and educational vids. Thanks again.
Thanks man! I appreciate that. I appreciate what you do with your channel as well!
It’s not going to pattern well out of a rifles barrel the shot is spinning in the barrel and gets thrown out. The best results would come from a smoothbore barrel. Oops maybe should’ve watched the whole video first sorry
You are correct. Thanks for leaving the comment!
Ok, now how well does the garden gun shoot regular 22 rounds? Without the rifling is it still accurate?
I love you guys! I am sitting here reading through all the comments tonight and comment after comment suggests that I need to shoot some solids through it just to see what it does. Thank you!
Buffalo's Outdoors it kinda makes sense you know if the rifled barrel won’t shoot rat shot will the smooth shoot solids?
My garden gun is a .410, my barn gun is a .410 and my boathouse gun is a .410. It hammers at 30 yards!
Good stuff!
hey i have a question, why are you soooo awesome, love your videos.
CHEEZ-ITs an Ritz crackers for sport shooting.. usta be a target throwers for these.
I would love to see a smooth bore Ruger Wrangler. That would have more utility for me than a rifle.
That would be neat.
Ive been thinkin on gettin one just so i can say ya i have a smooth bore 22. I got a few single shots and a marlin model 60 and a henry lever gun with rifled barrel. This one would just be for sayin i have one. But it looks pretty nice and that dark ash wood is different so well see. Thanks Buffalo
You're very welcome. It does have a very different look with that Black Ash wood. It feels different too.
Great test! It really did make a difference!
Thanks my friend! I appreciate you stopping in!
Thanks for the videos on the Garden Gun. As a kid, I remember my Grandfather having a .22 smoothbore, not sure of the make, but I always wanted one. I had to run out & order one, since they weren't released in the Western Mass area yet, or NH or VT, but one finally materialized in NH for me. I have a few other Henrys in .45-70, .44, & .410, & enjoy all of them. Best regards, Barry
Live Henry guns
So well made!
Just ordered one so I can shoot carpenter bees that are trying to bore into my house...looking forward to it arriving!
Awesome video and gun! Will you be putting a peep sight on that one? Anyways thanks for the video! Btw have you ever considered making a hunting channel?
I might put a peep on it for real. I tried making some hunting videos but found myself to worried about my camera set up to actually enjoy the hunt. Hunting is almost spiritual to me. I think I could make it work if I had a partner.
@@buffalosoutdoors totally understandable! A hunting partner is what most people use when filming anyways.
garden gun, slick!
I appreciate Henry for sending it over. It was nice to see how the smooth bore performed! Thanks.
Just stumbled upon your channel while looking for a review on the CCI shot shells. Good stuff. I’m now subscribed. Cheers!
Without a doubt some of the best produced videos along with great information Keep up the great work!!!
Barell said shot shells only, I’m guessing accuracy must not be the greatest with standard .22 ammo. Thanks for this video I didn’t know Henry made a smooth bore.
Exactly. It's not made to stabilize bullets. It's built for a very specific purpose.
Smooth bore rifle would be MUCH better for shotshell patterns. But that's a bit of a rare bird, and it's of no use with single projectiles.
Ha. And then I see the barrel stamp at the end of the video. Call me spider-winked.
Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate Henry for sending this one over for the comparison between the rifled H001 and the smooth bore Garden Gun. I'm in my mid 40s and spiders STILL creep me out! ;)
@@buffalosoutdoors Haha. They aren't cuddly, that's for sure. I'm really closing in on 40 myself.
Those .22 shotshells are made for about 10 feet. If a snake is farther away than 10 feet, it’s not a threat. Additionally, these rounds are made to be shot through handguns. To that end, you’d have a lot better results with .38 Special, .44 Special, or .45 ACP shotshells. They have more, and bigger, pellets.
Beautiful gun!!!! Can't wait til the video with standard ammo
You do a great job with your videos! Always impressed with your marksmanship.
Thank you!
You could shoot spider's, wasps, flies, excreta, just for fun. But those c.c.i. shot shell's are expensive. Just got some,15 bucks for 20 rounds!☹️
What kind of damage does it do to barn tin at say 10feet? Lots of barns have tin walls too and you wouldn't want to tear them up.
Or 1 foot? So many different ranges so little time!
At $400+- I personally couldn't justify the purchase but if Heritage made a 4" smooth bore revolver (and if it didn't have to be classified as a SBS) I'd buy one just for goofing around with.
Very cool to see a smooth bore. .22 avaliable again, One oppon a time in the 80s, we would shoot rat's in a mates Aircraft Hanger, that was a hell of a fun way to spend the weekends .. 👍👍🇦🇺
Man that does sound like a lot of fun! I'd be all over that! Thank you.
Birdshot in crimped cartridges is much more powerful than CCI’s capsulated.
Crimped cartridges = Remington & Winchester. Now that said, CCI’s 22wmr or “Magnum”, has a lot of power, even out of a revolver.
I’ve shot mice at close range with the 22wmr in a 5” barrel revolver and there wasn’t much left.
I had a rat issue last year & took care of several with the .22 shot shells at close range using a vinjtage single shot with rifled barrel. Once I heard about the Henry smooth bore I immediately went about trying to get one. Took over a year waiting for a Canadian vendor to finally get several examples so I snapped one up. Haven't shot it yet but it's nice to know via your video that the shells pattern much better. Money well spent for me. ;-)
You big girls blouse lol, scared of spiders! awesome video as usual Mr C.
HAHAHAHA! Thanks!
I see all of the other comments asking how this gun will perform with bullets instead of shot. I’m curious too, but......Your closeup view of the barrel show the warning from Henry that this gun is for use with shotshells only. Give Henry a call before you try bullets in it. Perhaps there is a bore diameter constraint which could elevate pressure to unsafe levels.
Good video. Cool that Henry sent you that to test for a video. *:-)*
Yeah that was mighty nice of them. I'm glad they did that.
Huh, didn't know about that one !
I'm like you on the spiders, not afraid of them just don't care to be around them! They give me the heeby jeebys ! 😊
Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
EXACTLY> I don't mind them if I spot them before they are on me. If I find one on me I bet I could when a break dance contest!
@@buffalosoutdoors
Now that would be a heck of a show,
with you and me both doing a crazy dance ! 😊
Always ☺👍🔥❄🎄❄🔥😊💚🌎🐬✨🌠
Thanks!
This little shotgun would be really REALLY cool if it had screw in choke tubes!
It would be interesting to see how a Marlin .22 with a microgroove barrel would compare.
“Looks OK to me.”
;)
Your probably the first person who has ever magdumped .22 ratshot 😂
I get MUCH better patterns out of mine. Killing shots on red squirrels at 25 ft.
Did you shoot regular 22s through the Henry Garden Gun? Enjoy your videos.
What a cool little gun. I have never heard of a garden and gun before. What is the intended use on their website? Or I guess I will have to go check it out for myself.
I guess I should have read that....LOL
Buffalo's Outdoors you sound like they’re salesman lol. That’s not a bad thing at all :) I feel the same way about their rifles.
www.henryusa.com/shotgun/garden-gun-smoothbore-22/
I inherited a Ranger bolt action single shot smooth bore 22. Shot some shot shells with it years ago, didn't seem to useful to me at the time. Maybe I should give it another shot.
I saw this gun reviewed by 22 plinkster quite sometime ago! It’s a very cool looking and effective done for it’s purpose. I’m glad Henry brought it back into production! Nice job on the video, you did a good job expanding on the guns limits and uses
Thanks for that. I saw plinksters video on the official Henry channel. He does an awesome job.
Oh okay in the last shots I see the heavy wood grain. Looks like an old fence post.
Somehow that’s appealing also. Lol
Sweet video! Now I know what Santa can bring me.
Good stuff Buffalo!!
Thank you!
Excellent scientific and a pleasure to watch. Big thumbs up to Henry for supplying the rifle for this test
Thanks! I couldn't believe they'd do that but I'm glad they did.
Buffalo you have some of the best gun content out there. Thank you!!
The federal shot shells are much better, more powerful and hold better patterns
THANK FOR YOUR VIDEO HERE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF MARYLAND AND PENNSYLVANIA WE HAVE SHOOTING MATCHES WITH SMOOTH BORE RIFLES AT 17 FEET CLOSES TO CENTER LOTS OF FUN GIVE IT A TRY OH WE USE WINCHESTER CRIMPED AMMO
