The rifle’s 6.75-pound heft provides a steady platform, absorbing recoil—which is minimal in .22 LR—and promoting accurate follow-up shots. Its 38.5-inch overall length makes it maneuverable in the field or from a bench. Here’s the thing—this is a rifle that fits out of the box, requiring no gunsmithing to be range-ready. Just pair it with quality .22 LR ammunition from brands like CCI or Federal, and you’re set. The price point of $866.86 reflects its commemorative status and premium finish compared to standard Henry models.

It’s a fantastic choice for introducing new shooters to rifle mechanics without the intimidation of larger calibers.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional fit and finish. Smooth, iconic lever action. High-capacity tube magazine. Low-cost practice and training. Striking visual appeal with its blued steel and walnut. Cons: Not a defensive firearm. Tubular magazine loading is slower than a detachable box. The premium price over a basic .22 lever gun. The ornate finish may deter those who want a purely utilitarian tool.

A: Absolutely. Chambered in .22 LR, it is an excellent choice for small game like squirrels and rabbits at reasonable distances. Its accuracy and quiet report make it a responsible choice for populated areas.
Q: What type of sights does it have, and can I mount a scope?
A: It comes with adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope mount, allowing you to easily add optics like a Simmons 22 Mag or similar rimfire-specific scope.

A: You load rounds directly into the tube magazine located under the barrel via a spring-loaded follower. It’s a classic, reliable system.
