Range Report: Oh Henry! Sighting In, 3/20/26

[BassCliff]

Hi,

Good shooting my friend . I have a Henry silver boy 22 mag I wish I would got a 22 lr and l like the finish on yours better . Silver boy too shinny I like the regular finish much better the sliver shows everything

Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, I pondered the Golden Boy and the Silver but I like the black and walnut classic looks. I was curious about the .22 magnum also but it shoots only that one caliber. The only other firearm I have that shoots .22 mag is my Heritage revolver, when I change the cylinder. So I went with the .22 Small Game, it shoots .22LR, .22L, and .22 Short. Here's the bragging page...

Hi guys,

.38 through the Henry is like a pea shooter. Even without a suppressor the giggle factor is pretty high.

The henry suppressed is as quiet as my .22 suppressed or maybe more. Pretty crazy quiet and fun as hell !

I appreciate you boys stopping in. Unfortunately, my Henrys do not have threaded barrels. I guess that just means I'll have to pick up a couple more.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,

Great play by play BC. Always enjoy your posts.

If you had half as much fun as I did, then I had twice as much fun as you.

I like sharing my fun. My hope is that the noobs who are even noobier than me can learn from my mistakes.

Thanks for the encouragement. All the best to you and yours.

I think this one looks fun . Can even mount a Picatinny rail (MIL-STD-1913) into the pre tapped top and mount an optic !

Hi,



They've got a nice product at a pretty good price. I buy mostly .357 and .45ACP from them. They're one of my top three vendors. I used to visit their brick-and-mortar "sister" store near LAX (LAXAmmo). During covid, while all the neighborhood sporting good stores had a few boxes of ammo on the shelves, they had cases stacked up around all over the floor. I thought I was in heaven.

Hi!

Nice shooting there Cliff, seems like the Henry likes you

Thanks! I'm waiting to see if Henry likes me at 50 yards. If so, we'll see if the love affair will last at 100 yards.

You call it meanness…I just assume the guy/gal next to me just can’t hit the broadside of a barn…

well this old man's shoulder might break under the power of a .357, dunt ya know.....

I first tried 38 special in mine and it keeps knocking me down, so i be scared to try 357 mag.

To be fair, I thought the same thing long ago (circa 1977+) when my M-16 targets at 100 yds ended up with more than 50 holes in them !
