INTRODUCTION
Henry H003T 22 Caliber brings back so many memories that are both happy and sad. Sad, because the iconic days of the American Shooting Galleries has passed into the dust of time. But, happy because I actually was alive to spend time at the carnivals that featured the galleries. At the end of the 1800s and early 1900s, the public was intrigued with sport/fun shooting. Winchester introduced their Model 62A slide action .22 and the fun began. Across Europe and the USA, shooting galleries sprang up, most frequently at carnivals. For a few cents you could try your luck with the fast shooting Winchester against moving metal targets, spinning bulls-eyes and wooden blocks.
Product Description
The Henry Pump Action Octagon .22 rifle joins faded jeans, Mom’s apple pie, a restored ’57 Chevy as an all-American icon. Now fitted with a blue octagonal barrel, it resurrects the great old days of the traditional shooting gallery.It also sports a grooved receiver for mounting a scope, and Marbles semi-buckhorn fully adjustable rear sights with standard 3/8″ dovetail slots enabling you to change sights if you choose to do so.The .22LR version can hold 15 rounds of .22LR and as much as 21 rounds of .22Short. If you must extract an unfired cartridge from the chamber, Henry has included a grooved release button at the right front of the trigger guard. When pressed back, the lever unlocks the fore end allowing it to be retracted to eject the unfired round. Shooting the Henry Pump Action rifle may be more fun than most people deserve to have. But we won’t tell.
DETAILS
Before heading to the range to determine the accuracy of the Henry H003T 22 Caliber, we mounted a Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40mm scope. Instead of a bag, we used a Caldwell FCX front rest for stability. Our targets were set at 50 yards. We determined that 10-shot groups would be a fair and reasonable test of the rifle’s accuracy. After burning through 250 rounds of .22 LR ammo, we measured our groups. The smallest measured 0.90”, the largest was 1.80” for an average spread of 1.25”. It really didn’t seem to matter the brand of ammunition that we fired. The gun cycled flawlessly with all brands (Aquila, Winchester, CCI, Remington, Federal). Bottom line – this gun is reliable, accurate and fun to shoot. Henry H003T 22 Caliber
