My grandpa had one of the first run of Taurus Judge revolvers with a 3in cylinder. He passed away like humans tend to do, and shortly thereafter my uncle cleared out his gun cabinet as we divided his possessions . Lots of nice guns. Colt 1911 from the 70's. Ruger M77 MII .300 winmag. Ancient Stevens 311. Several others as well. Got to the Judge, gave it a smirk and said "it's just a Taurus, you want it?" Of course I said yeah. Kept it for a couple years, fell on hard times as 20 somethings tend to do and sold it. I regret it everyday. One day if nature follows it's course without interruption I'll get the other guns my uncle carried off with. I'll not sell a one of them I guarantee you that.
I had the Henry lever action .22 that I bought off a co-worker that he had bought new. It maybe had 200 rds through it when I bought it from him. I sold it to another co-worker and wished I still had it now. Although I sold the Henry to help pay for my new Sig Sauer 522 Classic I bought in 2011, that eased the pain of selling the Henry .22 lol.
I wouldn’t say never. I had a full sized M&P 9 and an M&P Compact. I liked them okay, but then I got a Glock 19 and decided I liked it better. As someone who owns guns more for practicality, I didn’t see a need to keep these guns that I wasn’t really into. I don’t regret selling them.
Great! Henry is bringing back all the old classic guns except they are as good or better than the originals, everything from the classic single shot shotguns and rifles to the lever actions, and now the pump gallery 22s. Wish they would bring back the old rolling block Remington and little Steven's crackshot. What a fine American company! I'm sure gonna keep them in mind for my future gun purchases.
I bought one of these little beauties about 6 mos ago. I went with the .22 WMR model. I am greatful that Henry still makes quality classic American rifles, made in America, with blued steel and walnut!
Bought my dad a Henry lever action .22 and he liked it so much that I had to go buy one for myself. Henry rifles are as smooth operating as a sewing machine. They're amazing. My lever action has become my grandson's favorite rifle already.
sootch, you are a faithful gun reviewer- every gun I've purchased in the last (10 years?) I've sought a review from you first. Keep it up brother, long live the republic.
I like it. My brother and I each bought one 2 days ago at a gun show. Both new. I bot the .22LR and he bot the .22 Mag. I'm so impressed with the quality of a Henry and the look and feel of it. I can't wait to get out next summer into a gopher patch. Great video. Thanks.
If your going to get your kid a first rifle to be proud of, the pump 22 sounds excellent for preparing for proper pumping appreciation and accurate aiming. heirloom!
That is a damn good looking little gun! I'm out for one now. Thanks for your nice feature video and thanks again Henry for giving us what we really want.
I own 5 Henry's and they are all great rifles !!! The pump is my favorite followed by the Lever action Octagon. ( all 5 are 22 rim fire) Well worth the $$$. Never had a problem or jam with any of them. All favor CCI standard Velocity except for the one 22 magnum, it shoot's the Remington 36 grain hollow points better than anything else. Regardless of Brand, they all shoot 1.5" or less at 50 yds. Best group ever was with the CCI Green Tag in the Lever Octagon.
I just bought one of these pump .22 can you help me with something. I realize when I pump it it's really stiff, is that normal? And I tried to run about 5 cci lead .22 lr through it it was jamming up not feeding good. Is it needing break in or what? Sometimes the shells would get stuck half way going into where it loads. Any advise please.
Great video. Just bought one today at an auction for $375, unfired and new in the box. Will soon take it to the range, good to know I got a great new .22.
wanted one for a long time, couldn't find them. Found one for $425 and it's my favorite gun to shoot. well worth it for the amount of fun I've gotten out of it.
I bought a new 22 Henry lever gun with octagon barrel few years ago. Only problem I had was when the black paint started peeling off the receiver cover. After removing the 4 screws holding the receiver cover on I discovered to my dismay that the cover was made of cast aluminum or zinc. It's hard to get paint to stick to aluminum or zinc material. Also a most of the receiver parts were made of same material. I repainted the cover and sold the rifle.
I just bought one during Hartford Days at The Bullet Stop in Hartford Missouri and got to meet Anthony Imperato in person. I can't wait to put it through it's paces. Mine seems just like sootch's and I hope mine handles and shoots just like the one in the video. Sooches price does not include any tax or fees. Be sure to allow for that. At least 10% more. Thanks for the review!!!
I have the Henry Golden Boy in 22 lr. I may buy this pump next. The buckhorn sights are surprisingly accurate. I like tubular fed because I can use 22 shorts for quieter shooting. Don't want to disturb the neighbors.
Years ago a buddy of mine had an original pump .22. I don't remember the make but I remember it was a lot of fun to shoot at the range. Sadly though someone broke into my buddies home and that .22 was one of several guns stolen and never recovered.
Glad to see that the .22 pump version works good, but I bought the .22 magnum rifle and had nothing but problems with it as also a friend of mind bought one to. After cocking a round in and pulling the trigger firing pin would not strike the cartridge. The bolt would always slide back where the firing pin couldn't strike the cartridge. Sent it back to Henry to fix, but it did the same thing again. They told me their wasn't much else they could do for me to take care of the problem. To bad other than the shooting problem it is a great quality built rifle. Had a coyote in my sights with it, pulled the trigger with a round in it and nothing happened.
I bought a Taurus M72 carbine in 2001 and never regretted it. A takedown rimfire magnum with 16.5" barrel, exposed hammer, top eject. it's boss. Very accurate and RELIABLE. Would never go camping without it.
With tube feeders, it is VERY IMPORTANT to double check after emptying it to make sure no more rounds have stayed in the tube. It very well could cause an accidental discharge or other accident.
You make some great videos and reviews, Sootch. My Dad wants one of these very much. He says it reminds him of the old shooting gallery days. I suppose we all have our nostalgic favorites, and this is one of his. Thanks a bunch for posting this!
I have this exact rifle. Got it at a pawn shop for $400. The quality isn’t as nice as the classic 22 pumps like Winchester 61 or the Remington 121, isn’t as trim as those, and its pump action is a shorter, stiffer action than the old pumps, but it is a really fun gun and is plenty accurate. It’s also half the price of those vintage pumps in good condition. Definitely not a lightweight 22 with that octagon barrel. Took a few squirrels with it. Have a 4x32 Bushnell Rimfire on top of it. Just have to make sure the screw in the forend is tight and shuck it like you mean it and it’ll be 100% reliable.
I own a golden boy .22 lever action and love it. this video really has me considering purchasing this pump action rifle. I imagine the pump is just as fun to shoot as the lever.
Looking for a Rossi/Taurus model 62 carbine actually. It's too bad you sold it. The Henry looks like a fine rifle, but I wish they'd make a carbine version - shorter and lighter. My kids would have a tough time shouldering that offhand.
I wish somebody would make a modernized pump .22 like that, taking Ruger 10/22 mags! It would be a top choice suppressor host, the best pest control .22 ever. The market may be rather small, though, considering that Ruger's 10/22-style lever-action, the 96/22, didn't last. America preferred traditional styling for it's lever-actions. The market has changed, though, and especially now that suppressors/silencers are popular the virtues of a fast-firing manual action would probably be recognized as very practical. Lightweight synthetic stock, threaded light barrel, handy rifle, red dot sight, 25 round reliable Ruger mags. I love the old gallery guns, but I wish there was also a less traditional "high-performance" option in the marketplace.
I just purchased a Henry pump 22 rim fire rifle. Looking for a addition to my 22 collection and I can say enough about this rifle, the fit, the finish,prints a 1.5 group. nice wood. Just a great rifle that is made in the U.S.A.
I have said for a while now that someone should start making gallery guns again. The market was clearly there. I doubt they actually listened to me, but I am still glad to see this. I will have to pick one up.
Just discovered from a retired machinist that Henry uses sintered metal parts in their guns. Sad. Just bought a very clean used Rossi miodel 62, as they use machined steel parts!-John in Texas
@@chadhaire1711 Look up Lakeside Machine-He retired from building belt fed designed machine guns of his own design and build-look them up. You're arguing Apples and Oranges.....
@@chadhaire1711 I do-that's why I replied:) BTW, most people are surprised when I tell them about this. Nothing wrong with knowing the truth....John in Texas
Let me start by saying that if you are one of those people that can shoot accurately, get down on your knees and thank God for a big blessing. I......am not one of those people. I bought a Henry .22 lever action, and it was the most fun that I have ever had with a gun in my hands. I could actually hit the target at 100 yards. It is a fantastic gun. I am looking forward to getting one of these pump action rifles. Always loved the looks of them.
Picked one up four days ago, love it, not as smooth as my (Henry) lever actions, but still love it, love the pumps, own the Lighting in 45LC. Thanks for this video, it help make up my mind, glade I did.🤠🔫
Rossi used to, and may still offer one. The pump action 22 and pistol caliber rifles in my opinion are perhaps one of the most under rated rifles ever produced. They offer the rapid repeat fire of a semi auto, but have the adapatablity of assorted rounds in the magazine. I wish more manufacturers today offered a pump action rifle in a pistol calibers, but in a design more sophisticated, and less expensive, than the Colt Lightening reproductions.
My understanding was the orange tip on the end of the loading tube was there so that. once you open the action, you can see the bright orange tip telling you that there are no rounds in the loading tube. When you did the empty check, the angle the camera was at didn't show the orange tip.
Oh me, another .22 I need. sootch, what about Browning .22 lever? I have a weakness for Brownings, want everyone I see. I only have two, Sweet 16,circa 1957 and Auto 5, 1995. Love them, both, hunt with both. But I've been wanting a Browning lever for years. But, now, I'm thinking I might want a pump even more!!
Thanks for the great review. Pump 22s are so fun and I absolutely love the looks. Im tired of everything tactical lol. Ive always wanted a Winchester pump but put off by the steep prices they command. Thought about the Rossi copies or the Savages before but never pulled the trigger. This is perfect but I dont like they went with a potmetal receiver.
Thanks for the great reviews, bought several based on your recommendations. So thankful for your recommendation of Jackson leather. Switching several holsters over to his. As for this pump I saw one in a shop this morning and started looking for reviews and yours was the first one popped up. Needless to say I am on my way back to the gun shop. Appreciate it!
for those of you who have never shoot .22 short before, they are hilariously quite, so friends and i once shoot a dozen Cooeys (Canandian made .22's) with .22 short, cycling the bolt actions was louder than the detonation of the rounds themselves.
Lubricity. Wow, first time I heard that word used ANYWHERE. Thumbs up! I have a Henry lever action rifle and I would certainly agree with you that the Henry's actions are extremely lubricious.
holy crap ...thing makes the old windchester .22 i got look like garbage with all the slopin the pump parts....clearly the henry pump is great too.... smooth
Nice video. I like the unloading option of chambered rounds. Also like the side eject and optics options due to the grooved receiver. The gun finish does look a bit cheesy. I really dig my 1983 Rossi 62SAC rimfire. It has top eject so no scope options and half cock safety makes unloading live rounds a bit dicey. But the Rossi is a takedown with 16.5" barrel, accurately shoots any .22 rimfire fodder; short, long, LR interchangeably and has no disconnector so rapid fire is possible. Some older Rossi's (like mine) have high gloss mahogany stocks and buttery smooth actions. I'll take the Rossi over this Henry anytime. I would, however, dig tryin' out this Henry pump. I paid $120 for my 62SAC in 1983. Would be swell to see a shootout between the Rossi 62SAC and this Henry.
It'll be hard to decide between this and the lever action for me, guess can't go wrong with either. I have a number of Ruger rimfire firearms, but my son has a Golden Boy and I love it. I can't get enough of the rimfire guns. Sootch00, keep up the good work. Enjoy your vids always and information is always thorough and well layed out. I don't understand the folks who have to criticize, not like we have to watch your vids. Your one of the handful of channels I watch regularly, genuine and likeable with obvious love for Country. The number of arrogant, Carlos Hathcock, wannabes is numerous. Their opinions are the gospel and everyone else is lame because of all their combat experience LMAO. I'm Retired military myself, knowledgeable but always learning. Peace out.
I have a Henry 44 mag. That’ll shoot 1 1/2” groups at 100 yds. constantly with my reloads. My 357 shoots a 1” group at 50 yards. And I am a so so shooter.
Just aboot a month or two ago, I bought 400 rounds of .22 shorts off of LuckyGunner... 24hrs later, gone. I have a Henry Lever-.22- just way too amusing throwing down 22 .22 shorts downrange... in California, no less.
I would say the Browning BL-22 is a better made lever action rifle, but, for the money, I don't think you can beat the Henry. The Browning will give you sticker shock. And the trigger on the Browning can be stiff until the gun breaks in. For the Browning or the Henry, I like Skinner peep sights. Henry actually sells at least two models that come with Skinner sights installed.
I have a little Henry .22 lever action that is an absolute laser. My daughter will learn to shoot on it, and I have no doubt if she has a daughter, it will be around for her to learn too.
Never sell any gun for any reason. 9 times out of 10 people always regret selling a gun. Great video by Sootch as always.

Zinc just like my $150 Heritage Rough Rider Revolver...works just fine, but wish they were all steel.

Agreed. So reliable and accurate

Nice rifle. my first rifle was a Rossi pump 22 with the octagon barrel it was a gift from my great uncle when I was 12 . Still have it.
"...pretty tight flippin' group..." @ 4:20 Love ya Sootch - you are the best.!
Ah what a beautiful rifle...I have always loved the .22 pump action Henry.
great video, I have the 22 and the 22 mag pump plus 7 other Henry guns. I love them they are so well made the craftsmanship can't be beat. Thank you
I have this one and the H001 lever 22. Both extremely fun to shoot and take out to the range!
About to join you on that mate
Wouldn't it be great if they scaled this up to take .357 or .44 mag? A "big boy" version if you will?
or .45 long colt
Dr. Barber Wonderstein 44 mag would be awesome
Dr. Barber Uberti, 45LC, very nice, have one.🤠
Dr. Barber and anyone else interested in that idea, google "IMI Timberwolf" or "Taurus Thunderbolt".
Timber wolf used to make one in 357
I like it. My brother and I each bought one 2 days ago at a gun show. Both new. I bot the .22LR and he bot the .22 Mag. I'm so impressed with the quality of a Henry and the look and feel of it. I can't wait to get out next summer into a gopher patch. Great video. Thanks.

Always wanted a pump-action .22. Even before the intro was done, I want a Henry's .22.

I had a rossi and gave it to a brother, missed it and bought the Henry a few days ago
these things look like even more fun than the levers!

Got me one in .22wmr. Never had a 22 magnum before. Dang! This lill fkr is loud! It is a fun rifle!
Love the way it looks too!
Another really slick Henry rifle,...man these rifles have smooooth actions.
Great review. This Henry looks like a lot of fun.
They should make a slam-fire version or feature.
I have several lever gun Henry's love em. I have a 1906 Winchester pump that seems downright small compared to the Henry.
nice. I have an old winchester pump my grandfather gave me. smooth as glass and accurate
I have this in the .22 mag. Great little rifle.

Looking for a Rossi/Taurus model 62 carbine actually. It's too bad you sold it. The Henry looks like a fine rifle, but I wish they'd make a carbine version - shorter and lighter. My kids would have a tough time shouldering that offhand.
Great video! Reminds me of one of my first rifle, a pump Winchester Model 62
Wood stock? No picatinny? No detachable may? Will it survive in the marketplace?

I wish somebody would make a modernized pump .22 like that, taking Ruger 10/22 mags! It would be a top choice suppressor host, the best pest control .22 ever.

I love the old gallery guns, but I wish there was also a less traditional "high-performance" option in the marketplace.
I know your comment is satire but I *have* noticed a general pushback against tactical recently (thank god).
It's Old School Tactical lol

1.5" group at what distance you dumb dumb?
I have said for a while now that someone should start making gallery guns again. The market was clearly there. I doubt they actually listened to me, but I am still glad to see this. I will have to pick one up.

Great review if Henry made this 22 mag. Pump in the silver Nickle, receiver I would already own one...

angle the camera was at didn't show the orange tip.
if you want to dry fire a rimfire with no damage a cigarette butt will cushion the hammer falling also a earplug works well
I'd like to have one in 22 wmr but I've heard they have a lot of problems. They look awesome and very vintage.
Oh me, another .22 I need. sootch, what about Browning .22 lever? I have a weakness for Brownings, want everyone I see. I only have two, Sweet 16,circa 1957 and Auto 5, 1995. Love them, both, hunt with both. But I've been wanting a Browning lever for years. But, now, I'm thinking I might want a pump even more!!
Sootch, isn’t that actually a receiver cover like the lever guns and not actually the structural receiver itself ?
40 seconds into this review and I want one!
40 seconds. Before I click the video 😂
5 yrs later the Henry .22 pump msrp is $630 and $680 for the .22 Magnum!!!😪
Nice rifle is a triggerguard made plastic and trigger too looks plastic to me ?
Thanks for the great review. Pump 22s are so fun and I absolutely love the looks. Im tired of everything tactical lol. Ive always wanted a Winchester pump but put off by the steep prices they command. Thought about the Rossi copies or the Savages before but never pulled the trigger. This is perfect but I dont like they went with a potmetal receiver.
Thanks for the great reviews, bought several based on your recommendations. So thankful for your recommendation of Jackson leather. Switching several holsters over to his.
As for this pump I saw one in a shop this morning and started looking for reviews and yours was the first one popped up. Needless to say I am on my way back to the gun shop.
Appreciate it!
for those of you who have never shoot .22 short before, they are hilariously quite, so friends and i once shoot a dozen Cooeys (Canandian made .22's) with .22 short, cycling the bolt actions was louder than the detonation of the rounds themselves.
Lubricity. Wow, first time I heard that word used ANYWHERE. Thumbs up! I have a Henry lever action rifle and I would certainly agree with you that the Henry's actions are extremely lubricious.
holy crap ...thing makes the old windchester .22 i got look like garbage with all the slopin the pump parts....clearly the henry pump is great too.... smooth
Great looking .22 rifle.
Nice video. I like the unloading option of chambered rounds. Also like the side eject and optics options due to the grooved receiver. The gun finish does look a bit cheesy. I really dig my 1983 Rossi 62SAC rimfire. It has top eject so no scope options and half cock safety makes unloading live rounds a bit dicey. But the Rossi is a takedown with 16.5" barrel, accurately shoots any .22 rimfire fodder; short, long, LR interchangeably and has no disconnector so rapid fire is possible. Some older Rossi's (like mine) have high gloss mahogany stocks and buttery smooth actions. I'll take the Rossi over this Henry anytime. I would, however, dig tryin' out this Henry pump. I paid $120 for my 62SAC in 1983. Would be swell to see a shootout between the Rossi 62SAC and this Henry.
The zinc casting was probably to keep the cost reasonable. Really don’t need steel. Taken from Rugers playbook.
It'll be hard to decide between this and the lever action for me, guess can't go wrong with either. I have a number of Ruger rimfire firearms, but my son has a Golden Boy and I love it. I can't get enough of the rimfire guns. Sootch00, keep up the good work. Enjoy your vids always and information is always thorough and well layed out. I don't understand the folks who have to criticize, not like we have to watch your vids. Your one of the handful of channels I watch regularly, genuine and likeable with obvious love for Country. The number of arrogant, Carlos Hathcock, wannabes is numerous. Their opinions are the gospel and everyone else is lame because of all their combat experience LMAO. I'm Retired military myself, knowledgeable but always learning. Peace out.
Sold it. Wish I hadn't. Story of my life brother
Do you like the pump as much as the lever?
Good morning brother Sootch! Have a great week! Nice .22!
Thanks Robert!
I have a Henry 44 mag. That’ll shoot 1 1/2” groups at 100 yds. constantly with my reloads. My 357 shoots a 1” group at 50 yards. And I am a so so shooter.
My dad has a pump action .22 rifle. It was the gun I grew up on, but I don't think it's a Henry, maybe a Remington? Was there a Remington Pump 22?
Yes. The Remington Fieldmaster. And they had a similar looking semi-auto called a Speedmaster.
Love this beautiful gun! Thanks sootch for another great video.
Just aboot a month or two ago, I bought 400 rounds of .22 shorts off of LuckyGunner... 24hrs later, gone.
I have a Henry Lever-.22- just way too amusing throwing down 22 .22 shorts downrange... in California, no less.
I would say the Browning BL-22 is a better made lever action rifle, but, for the money, I don't think you can beat the Henry. The Browning will give you sticker shock. And the trigger on the Browning can be stiff until the gun breaks in. For the Browning or the Henry, I like Skinner peep sights. Henry actually sells at least two models that come with Skinner sights installed.
I have a little Henry .22 lever action that is an absolute laser. My daughter will learn to shoot on it, and I have no doubt if she has a daughter, it will be around for her to learn too.
With some of the CCI 22 rounds out there this is no joke of firearm. Should imagine this make a good one for young teenage boy to hunt small game?
After firing, if you keep the trigger depressed and pump the action, what happens?
+Thekawasakinut that would make sense. Thanks
I have a Rossi 62, if you hold the trigger on it, it will fire as fast as you can pump.
Classy. Will be ordering one.
Did your shoulder hurt from the recoil?
No
***** I was kidding. Looks like a fun gun!
+James Bond - He knows
this isn't the original Henry rifle company and their products are of pot metal .
There never was a Henry rifle company. He was an employee of Winchester's.
How would you compare it to the model 62 Rossi
wish they would offer that in a stainless steel version chambered in .38spc/.357mag.
We have them is oz wish we had semi automatic weapons tho and pump shotguns
