Introduction

I’ve been eyeing the Henry .22 lever action rifle available at Walmart and wanted to gather some feedback before making a purchase. I’ve read some good things about it, but I’d like to hear from actual users about their experiences.

Why the Henry .22?

The Henry .22 lever action rifle seems like a perfect fit for my needs. I’m interested in using it for:

  • Recreational shooting
  • Teaching marksmanship to younger shooters
  • Small game hunting

I appreciate that it has a user-friendly design and is known for its reliability.

Questions I Have

  • Quality and Performance: How does it hold up in terms of shooting experience? Any feedback on accuracy and handling?
  • Walmart Purchase: Has anyone bought it from Walmart? Were there any issues with availability or pricing?
  • Recommendations: Would you recommend any specific accessories or ammunition to use with it?

Your Thoughts?

If you own a Henry .22 or have experience with it, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Any pros or cons, tips on maintenance, or anything else would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking to make an informed decision and any feedback would help me a lot!

Thanks in advance for the insights!

I’ve had my Henry .22 Lever Action for a couple of years now, and it’s been fantastic. The accuracy is exceptional for a .22, even at 50 yards. Highly recommend it!

Absolutely agree! I was surprised at how well it performs with CCI Mini-Mags. It’s my go-to for backyard plinking.

Reliability is where this rifle shines! I’ve shot thousands of rounds without a single jam. Best part? It cycles smoothly with every round.

5

That’s my experience too! I’ve taken it out in rain and sun, and it just keeps going. A true workhorse!

I love the classic look and feel of this rifle. It adds to the overall experience, making it just as enjoyable for target shooting as for small game hunting.

7

Totally agree! It’s like a nostalgic trip every time I pull the trigger. Feels just right in my hands.

Has anyone else tried different types of ammo? I found that bulk Remingtons are decent, but I still prefer those CCI rounds for accuracy.

I stick with CCI as well! What about its performance in cold weather? I’ve had a few hiccups in freezing temps.

I’ve shot mine in pretty chilly conditions, and it performed surprisingly well! A little lubrication goes a long way in cold weather.

For the price, I’d say it’s tough to beat in the .22 category. There are definitely cheaper options, but this is built to last!

12

I agree! You get what you pay for with the Henry. Sometimes, it’s worth investing a bit more!

13

And let’s not forget how fun it is to shoot. You can’t help but smile while working that lever! It feels like a nostalgic cowboy moment.

I’ve been looking into the Henry .22 Lever Action Rifle at Walmart too. They usually have it priced around $400. It seems competitive, but you might find it cheaper with local retailers during sales.

15

I found it at Academy Sports today for $375! Walmart may not have the best deal. Definitely worth checking a few places.

16

Totally understand the need to compare prices! I saw a deal on the Henry .22 for $389 at the local gun shop, and they even threw in a discount for first-time buyers!

That’s awesome! Discounts really make a difference. If walmart has no deals, other shops might be better even with a little drive.

I’ve been watching prices for a while; Walmart’s at $400 with no apparent fees, but I found it for $360 when I factored in shipping at another retailer. Overall value matters!

Wow, $360 is a steal! Maybe I should broaden my search beyond Walmart; you’ve got me thinking!

I think Walmart’s price is decent, but other stores often run promotions that could save you more. It really depends on what you value most, like immediate availability or price.
