About This Firearm

The Henry H001 is a walnut-stocked lever-action .22 LR built for plinking and small game, and Henry now catalogs it as the H1 Classic. It has an MSRP of $440. It is chambered for .22 Short, Long and Long Rifle, so the tube under the barrel holds 14 rounds of Long Rifle and more of the shorter cartridges.

A hooded blade front sight and an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear are fitted, so nothing has to be bought before shooting it. The receiver is grooved for rimfire ring mounts and not drilled for a base, and the hammer needs thumb room under whatever goes over it. The safety is a quarter-cock notch on the hammer, so there is no button or lever to find. Nothing on the rifle adjusts.

If you're cross-shopping, the Henry Golden Boy has an MSRP of $670, with a brass receiver and a 20-inch octagon barrel, at 6.75 lbs against this rifle's 5.25 lbs, with 16 rounds in the tube. The Marlin Model 60 is a used buy that puts the same tube feed behind a semi-automatic action.

Best For

GOOD
First Rifle
At 36.5 inches overall this is a small rifle, there is no magazine for a new shooter to lose, and the hammer position can be seen from behind the gun.
GOOD
Plinking/Training
A lever makes every shot a deliberate one, and side ejection keeps brass out of the sight line, so a tang or receiver sight stays usable.
FAIR
Varmint/Predator
Squirrels and rabbits are inside what the hooded front and the buckhorn rear cover. Rimfire ring mounts limit how much scope will fit over the hammer.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths
  • The quarter-cock hammer safety has no spring-loaded part to wear or to get switched by accident.
  • The 18.5-inch barrel keeps the rifle short without costing tube capacity, because the magazine runs its whole length.
  • Henry builds the rifle in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and lists its uses as target, hunting and small game.
Limitations
  • Loading is one round at a time down a port near the muzzle, and unloading means cycling the rounds out through the action.
  • The 14-inch pull is long for a young shooter, and there is nothing in the butt to shorten it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Shorts and Longs does the tube hold?

More than it holds in Long Rifle. The shorter cases take less room in the tube, so both run higher than the Long Rifle count.

Which rings fit the receiver?

Rings cut for the receiver's 3/8 groove, which is the mount type Henry lists for this rifle. A conventional one-piece base has nothing to screw into.

What does Henry's guarantee cover?

The life of the product, with a personal satisfaction guarantee alongside it, and the cover carries over to the next owner.
