If you’re sold on the Western styling conjured up by a lever action .22 and want more stopping power for small game and varminting, the .22 Magnum is right for you. These rifles feature a deluxe checkered American walnut stock, a grooved receiver for easy scope mounting and a 19¼” barrel that will deliver the accuracy you need.
The tubular magazine holds 11 rounds. It weighs 5½ pounds and overall length is 37½”. With regards to ballistics, in general the .22 Magnum projectile travels nearly twice as fast as the .22 LR, and produces more than triple the muzzle energy.
I ordered a Henry rifle online this morning. As I was entering the information for my FFL dealer, I noticed I had ordered the wrong one. I ordered a regular .22 rifle but wanted a .22 Magnum. I called the number for the Sportsman Outdoor Superstore, having braced myself for the endless hassles I have grown accustomed to when trying to update an online order. A nice young lady answered the phone and, much to my surprise, she took care of getting the order changed to what I really wanted in a matter of minutes. I am a bit stunned because customer service like that is rare these days. I didn’t catch her name, but if that young lady reads this review, I hope she knows how appreciative I am. I was hesitant to write a review before I received the rifle, but if the outstanding customer service I received today is any indication of what I can expect if I have issues with the rifle, I feel completely safe in how those issues will be addressed. To quote Arnold Schwarzenegger, “I’ll be back,” anytime I want a new gun.
