New for 2017 from Henry is a single shot model. I looked at it on Henry's website and it looks pretty nice. For now it appears to chamber modern high pressure rounds like .308 Winchester and a few others. I've written to(as I suggest you do also) the President Anthony Imperato to chamber the older rimmed cartridges like .22 Hornet, .38-55, .30-30, .45-70 and was told they are going to expand from the initial line-up but it's yet to be determined what calibers. Personally I think they would sell more rifles if chambered in rimmed cartridges of yesteryear and maybe they could do a limited run of other calibers each year for the collectors out there. There is a market for these type of rifles especially if they come with long range ladder sights like they put on their reproduction 1866 Henry. Anyone agree? What calibers would you like to see offered?

I never sent one of the H&R rifles l0back for fitting. I always bought barrels on ebay or some such places and fit them myself. Not too hard, but much more of a pain then the contenders. But the contenders were twice the price too.

Very interesting! As Sgt. Schultz used to say.- I will miss the accessory barrel program. I have H&Rs that have 5 different barrels fitted. Henry is on the move, for sure. Nice to see all that work going into a non-AR type. I predict they will bring out a nice bolt action before long. I'd like a very slim and trim bolt action with a minimal magazine capacity. Carry it like a Win. 94.

The new Henry Singleshot looks pretty good. They brought it out just when everyone is crying about the end of the Handi Rifle. Good timing.

I would like to see one in 50-110 with a 28” bull barrel.

Some of you know that I took a Handi Rifle single shot, rebarreled in 577NE, cast bullets, this hear to Africa for cape buffalo. ( The story “Never Mind the Bull” is published in the Jan. 2017 issue of The African Hunting Gazette and the YouTube Video is called “Brian hunts cape buffalo") I would like to take one of these Henry Singleshots on my 2018 cape buffalo hunting trip. They look like fun. I just hope that they do a big bore in a long heavy barrel. ( My Handi Rifle with a 27” barrel is still just as short as a ruger M77 Lightweight with a 22” barrel.)

martini type tilting block ??... heck i got one of them

ithica 49 in 22 lr .... mine is a ted williams model ... must have been fun for the previous owner ... the chamber is wallowed out .

but the point is good ...with cnc machining, a nice basic cf martini should go for about $440.

Sorry Sierra Hunter

I was momentarily confused (a normal state) as I have been watching the internet sources for one of these since this thread appeared. I just didn't want to miss a chance if they had come available.

LGS stands for local gun store. Maybe I should have made myself a bit more clear. My apologies.

Thumbs up to that! A nice copy of the cadet model would be nice also.

LGS? I am not familiar. Is this a distributer?

These rifles appear to be “single barrel shotguns". This doesn't bother me if they are well done and feel good in my hands. I doubt that I will even attempt to scope one. It will sit by the door of the hunting shack and go with me when I check the beaver dams. I already have plenty of heavy barrel range queens.

I like what I saw on the Henry site. The walnut stocks look much better that the birch on the H&Rs. For someone on a limited budget they are appealing, just wish they would add some “vintage calibers".

So do I.

If I live long enough, some day I am going to have one too.

Iv'e had a 12/15 action laying around here for years with the stalking rifle in mind. Motivation, motivation. And if I ever get to it, I going to attach the front sling swivel on the barrel too.

Obviously your vast armchair knowledge doesn't include the Martini RF target rifles or what a small CF Action Martini rifle can do when assembled by a competent smith. !

Those wobbly old Martinis have only one ball hanging down to grip and their tops are crooked plus sling studs on a barrel make them shoot crooked. They always were junk, get a Henry.

i always wanted to design and build a modern swinging block... such as the stevens 44... stevens favorite ... aydt ... but with modern materials .... and an additional manual locking feature ....kinda like a remington ryder crossed with a swinging block ... not a fast loader but about 5 moving parts and suitable for big bores ...

but still waiting for my gov't research grant ...

.22 Hornet and .218 Bee tapped for scope blocks if they were building a real rifle . That's a single barrel shotgun with a rifle caliber barrel . Not interested .

Please educate me on this rifle. I know very little about these rifles, so cost, maker, stats in general would be of great interest to me and I assume others.

Why not an affordable heavy barrel target rifle?

I don't think the LGS has a 45/70, but they do have a couple, 44 mag and 357 for sure, all under 300.
