Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
In light of increasing ammo prices and what not, I'm looking for opinions on the Henry. It shoots 22 shorts, which is about the only 22 ammo available. $269 for a new one at my local sporting goods store.
Would that be a good addition to my lever arsenal?

Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
In your desribed parameters.......yes
I take it you do not have a large supply of ammo?

Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
I've had a H001 for several years and I like it. Its accurate and feeds pretty much anything I put in it. Now the front sight is a piece o junk but whatcha gonna do for that price. I say get one and enjoy. tom

Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
I have one of the .22 lr versions, and it is a great little gun. You will not be disappointed. If, for some reason, it should need to go back to the factory, the service has a great reputation. 86er had to send his back. He posted that he found the factory service to be excellent.

Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
My 22 lr supply is only about 450 rounds. The ability of the Henry to shoot lr and shorts is quite nice. Only 22 shorts available in my area at this time. I bought 650 wmr in the past couple weeks, so pretty satisfied with that for my 9422m.
Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
I have 3 of 'em and love 'em. I had one that would not do better than an inch at 25 yds off the bench. Had occasional flier too. Sent it in and got back new barrel, sights, smooth and light trigger. Shoots 1/2 in at 25 yds consistently. We use one with shorts of CB Caps for garage and yard shooting and never put LR in it. Works great and very accurate. Plus, I really appreciate this companies principles.

Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
I've seen a number of them with problems straight from the box, but the company always seems to make any problems right. I guess you can't really expect a 9422 for the Henry price though.
Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
I have a large loop Henry .22, outstanding gun right out of the box. Smooth, excellent fit and finish, and the wood is way too nice for the price, I don't know how they do it. All American made. If you email them the President will contact you back and solve your problem if you have one. You will not regret getting a Henry.

Henry levers are wonderfully smooth and easy. Pump version has nice heft, but is not as smooth to cycle, especially compared to a real winchester pump.
Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
Hard to beat. A quality American made traditional lever for a reasonable price.

22 short $7 per box of 50 @ local WalMart. They had 3 boxes.
Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
Was $3.27 at my wally world for golden bullet shorts. They have about 20 in stock. Sadly, the Henry got sold at my local shop. I do hope that they get another in.

Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
I bought a used one - is marked with NRA engraving - is from a friends of NRA dinner I think. But otherwise, it's a standard .22LR and shoots great! Can't say enough good about it. The only thing I wish they'd do different is the sights - don't really like the plastic but they do function just fine...

Re: Opinions on Henry 18" 22 cal rifle
Gentlemen,
Henry stopped putting plastic sights on their .22, H001-series leverguns a few years ago. Now, you can even get a HiViz metal sight for them:
http://www.henryrepeating.com/st-hiviz.cfm
The design of these rifles goes back over 40 years. Erma, of Germany, made them for Ithaca, IverJohnson, and Excam. Erma also sold them. Henry Repeating Arms Company bought all of the machinery, when Erma went out of business, in the late 1990s. They are currently made in New Jersey. The reciever cover, and the reciever, are made of ZAMAC (an alloy of Zinc), with the rest of the parts made of steel. My Henry H001L has in excess of 10,000 rounds through it. Here is some reference material, from my library, and from other sources:

Ithaca 72 deluxe:
Erma sold many variations of the design:
This one shoots the 4mm Long:
This one shoots blanks:
This one shoots a beam of light:
...and here are the pump versions of the .22:
Here is a photograph of the Henry version's reciever arangement:
