best jr 22 lever action hands down , would buy again

The Henry Youth .22 Lever Action is a quality long arm, reasonably priced. It should appeal to most youths graduating from single shot bolt rimfires, offering smooth and speedy reloading. Buyers should understand that this is not a light weight rifle, however. The Youth model weighs nearly as much as a standard Henry or other adult-sized lever action .22. There is not much weight reduction in the slightly shortened butt stock and barrel length. Many online videos show youngsters firing this Henry from bench rests and supported by table tops, etc.. This is because it is not comparable to BB or polymer pellet arms, which children handle easily. For kids unaccustomed to a 5+ pound rifle, this could be an issue. Also, the front sight is difficult to see in dim light conditions. Fortunately, after market fiber optic alternatives are inexpensive, easy to install and readily available. For youngsters capable of shouldering its weight for an extended shooting session. the Henry Youth .22 Lever Action is a joy to own.

LOVE IT! It's loads of fun for my wife and I to shoot.

This is a smooth little rifle! I bought it for my son's birthday, and he loves shooting it. The fit and finish is perfect, and the rifle is as accurate as my son is. I think a Big Boy might be in Dad's future... Bud's service was outstanding. Highly recommend this slick little Henry for your young buckaroo!

Great to deal with would recommend

THIS WAS FOR THE WIFE. EXCELLENT FOR HER AT 5'3". THIS ONE WON'T BE SOLD. NO LEVER IS AS SMOOTH AS A HENRY. MADE IN AMERICA, OR NOT MADE AT ALL.

we love the henry. western and the manual action is a great attraction for the boy. he loves it and enjoys shooting it like the rifleman. smooth action, it will need a small break-in but maybe 50-100 rounds, with 22, that should go by quick. love the solid wood and feel. goes with our other henry rifles. buds is always a great option and great customer service. thanks hickok45

This Henry is very efficient, super light and very accurate. I'm very happy with it, the lever action is super smooth when reloading, and wherever you put your sights, rest assured that the lead will be there.

looks and shoots good. You must snap it closed like you mean it or it will jam. Its your fault if it does, kids catch on fast. Clear jams with a table knife.

I bought this to teach my grandson to shoot, and for my wife (she is petite, cannot easily shoulder and sight a typical rifle). It is the first Henry rifle I've purchased and I'm very impressed with quality, fit, and finish. Recommended!

Great firearm would buy again.

Purchased the Henry 22LR youth rifle and it arrived at the FFL in perfect shape. The Henry is all it's cracked up to be,
Super smooth action and almost dead on out of the box. Very happy with both Buds and Henry. Will do more shopping at Bubs for sure.

I'm a FFL, yet I purchase from Bud's because Bud's has stock and prices as good or better than most wholesalers. The Henry Youth Lever rifle in .22 LR, (H001Y) is an excellent rifle. This Youth model is almost full size, but with 4" off the barrel and 1" off the stock as compared to the regular model. I've given 4 to grandchildren. Realize, that the .22 LR cartridge achieves its maximum velocity in the first 16" of barrel. There is no benefit to a longer barrel for a .22 LR. While we have other .22 riles available for the grandchildren, this Henry Youth is the one that get used most, almost 100% of the time. For the money, (dollar versus quality) it is the best built rifle on the market.

This is one of two Henry .22LR that I bought for my sons to shoot. The other is a Mare's leg. We really love them. They are solid, well-made and the fit and finish are high quality. With the proper care, I have little doubt they will still be operational in 100 years. I have interacted with customer service at Henry. They are knowledgeable, nice and obviously very proud of their rifles.

Henry hit a Home Run. This gun was bought for a little lefty. He has been shooting soft drink cans with deadly accuracy. The action and trigger are smooth and easy, just perfect for a little guy. I have a Browning BL-22 it has a 7 LB trigger, and cost a lot more!

This is my favorite 22lr rifle l own and l have a pretty good pile of them. It’s a henry so there isnt much more to say other than if you’ve ever shot a henry, you will want one!! This gun performs flawless with any bramd ammo and the lever action is a smooth as it gets. The trigger is nice and crisp ! If you’re thinking of getting one of these, you will not regret it. These are quality beyond the price!!! You will not be disappointed in any part of it!! Don’t hesitate , you’re only missing out not having any of the henry 22lr’s in your collection!!

Rifle is very nice.. Easy to handle, and shoots accurate.. I have shot both short, and long rifle with little to no problems loading or ejecting.. As we know, if we are not firm with the lever, it can cause a jam, or problem because of that.. I am a senior, 6'1" and I have no problem handling this rifle, nor do my grandkids.. I have a cheap 4x scope on it, and with my old eyes, it makes it a really easy shooting rifle, and I don't even notice the slightly shorter length of pull..

Great fun and cheap to shoot. Very good grouping and no recoil. First gun my girlfriend ever shot and she loves it.

Henry has hit a HomeRun with this petite little carbine. My wife is small, has arthritic hands, and not much upper body strength -- but she can handle this very lightweight carbine quite well. The short barrel, short Length of Pull, and 4 1/2 Lb weight is exactly what is needed by children and small women. If anybody else is making a carbine like this, I am not aware of it. The Fore End wood is very streamlined, NOT bulky like most lever actions. The action is surprisingly Smooth, and easy for a small woman to operate. The Trigger Pull is also surprisingly good -- only a faint hint of creep if you really look for it, and it measured 2.6 Lb of pull, 3 times in a row. The fit and finish are also surprisingly good for under $300, and the Walnut stock has nice grain and is well finished. Our specimen came with an extremely dirty bore, out of the box. We were in a hurry to shoot it on Christmas Day, so instead of cleaning it, we just shot the crud out of the barrel. It took 8-10 shots to blow out the manufacturing grease and crud, but then it settled down to shooting nice groups. I plan to do a Complete Disassembly, Scrub the Bore from the Breech end, and do a thorough cleaning & lube of the action. The owner's manual says NOT to take it apart, but for those of us who have the skills and a good set of Hollow Ground screwdrivers, I strongly recommend that you go to the Henry Website and view their EXCELLENT videos on Disassembly & Reassembly. I've never seen any manufacturer provide such incredibly detailed, professional-quality videos like these. I can't believe that it took me so long to discover this nearly-perfect little 22 LR carbine. And no, I'm not being paid to write this review -- I hate reading reviews that were bought & paid for, and I'll never do that. But, Henry deserves credit for realizing that women and kids are the future of our sport, and they need firearms that FIT them. Now I don't have to Shorten the buttstock on my $900 Marlin Mountie, which would still be heavier, anyway.

I bought this riffle for Great Grandson I got it 2 days after I ordered it was a real nice gun as all Hennery riffles are it looks great an works great he loves it I hope to get another Hennery soon for myself I would like to get 30-30

I bought this gun to carry on my 4 wheeler. I was looking at the carbine model, but I didn't want the big loop. I like the nice compact size and the dead nuts accuracy right out of the box. Will buy from Buds again!

Great gun. Fun to shoot. It has a shorter length of pull which I like even though I'm an adult. Lighter than full size Henry's. Look forward to lots of fun with this gun.

I, mom to three boys, bought this for myself and my three boys to shoot cowboy lever action matches. It is awesome. After the first two matches I realized right away we needed to upgrade our front and rear sights. We put on the Williams FP-GR-TK for the rear sight and the Lyman 17AHB (.404 high) for the front sight. MAKE NOTE: Before we could put on the front sight, we had to send off the barrel band to be modified. Based on recommendations from other match goers, we sent it to Skinner Sights. If you want a different front sight to a Henry Repeating Arms Rimfire round barrel lever action rifle, you will discover that the one piece sight/ramp/barrel band combo that comes with it leaves very few options for a change. Skinner Sights offers a modification to the steel front sight/ramp/band combos that will allow mounting the front sight of your choice and its only $25. We love this rifle and it has been great for matches and look forward to all the bonding time it has brought and will bring to me and my boys. Dad uses it, too, but he is probably going to get the H001T with octagonal barrel. Oh, the boys use it for the 4H Shooting Sports as well.

what a great buy I am now jealous of a 6 year old everyone needs a henry

purchased two Henry .22 youth lever actions first one sometimes when chambering a round would jam but could move gun back and forth and it would chamber second would not chamber round at all round in a bind had to send gun back to Henry also sights are hard to see and does hold a good group started grandsons with a marlin single shot and they never miss but with Henry sight is not as easy to see as with the marlin and they can shoot as tight as group miss a lot a little bit disappointed overall with the gun
