Henry .22 Surivial Rifle
« on: February 08, 2015, 01:44:40 PM »
Anyone have one of these? Always wanted one since I was a kid and read the hatchet and have a chance at a great deal on one. Are they good enough to squirrel and rabbit hunt with?

Thanks

I own one and it I like it.  Important to realize it is a survival rifle.  Reasonably accurate.  If you are looking for accuracy for head shots this is not the tool except for close range.  You are better advised to buy a different model.  My 10/22 take down is more accurate.  But, if you are into toys than this is a good one to add to the pile.  Mine has a lot of miles banging around in the rig and a few times it has come in handy to tame a few cans and on occasions when I failed to bring proper grouse defense it came in handy.

Yeah nothing to add, I wouldn't hunt with one if I had another .22 available
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Wonder what happens when you accidentally pull the trigger while reeling in a fish?  Joust not sure this is a good combination.

ya, I'd skip the fishing pole idea and just have a nice knife in the stock, fishing line, mylar blanket, fire making stuff in the stock.

easy enough to get a stick to fish with

looks like it is only a single shot.  Does not state on the web page unless I missed it.

I dunno, honestly I didn't look too close at it. 

I'd want a bolt action tube fed gun.  Keep the tube fill and it isn't "loaded" by definition until you put the rifle together and install the tube magazine.

Shot a buddy of mines years ago and really liked it. would be a good kick around/keep in the camper/Truck gun. .22LR is so so with me as far as a survival/defense round, a little to minimalist for my taste. but all that being said I kinda want one too lol.

When I was a kid I thought these things were cool as hell and always wanted one.  Congrats on the Vday gift from the little woman and happy anniversary.  Mine was Feb. 2nd   I just showed one to my daughter, she thought it was cool looking but quickly told me she still wants the pink camo M&P 15-22 but that I could get one for myself if I wanted.  It's always nice to have the approval of a 12 year old.... :tup:
