For years the Henry Youth lever gun in .22 LR has been the go-to first rifle for kids graduating past a single shot bolt gun. The H1 Classic Youth in .22 WMR takes that same proven formula and gives it enough extra steam for real small game and varmint work. Same handy 16.5 inch round blued steel barrel, same 13 inch length of pull, same featherweight 4.5 pound build, just chambered for the faster, harder-hitting .22 Magnum. For a young hunter who has put in the range time and is ready to take squirrels, rabbits, or the occasional coyote seriously, this is the rifle that grows with them.
Nothing about the H1 Classic Youth feels cheap or scaled down where it counts. The straight grip stock is genuine American walnut, which you rarely see on a youth rimfire, and the action has that famously smooth Henry cycle that makes lever guns so addictive to run. The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds of .22 WMR, and at 33.5 inches overall it stores easily, rides well in a truck, and points fast in the field. The quarter cock safety keeps things simple and traditional without any buttons or levers to fumble.
Out of the box you get an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight paired with a hooded blade front, a classic setup that teaches proper iron sight fundamentals. When it is time to stretch the .22 Magnum's legs, the 3/8 inch grooved receiver accepts standard rimfire ringmounts, so adding a scope takes minutes and no gunsmithing.
The .22 Magnum runs considerably faster than .22 LR and carries far more energy downrange, which means cleaner takes on small game at distances where a .22 LR starts to fade. Recoil is still mild enough for young or smaller-framed folks, and the American-made build quality means this one gets handed down, not traded in.
It's one of the better options out there, especially for a young shooter stepping up from a single shot. The 13 inch length of pull and 4.5 pound weight fit smaller frames well, and the smooth lever action makes follow-up shots easy without being complicated. Since it's chambered in .22 Magnum, it also has enough power for real small game hunting, so it stays useful long after the learning stage.
Yes. The receiver has a 3/8 inch groove that accepts standard rimfire ringmounts, so a compact rimfire scope goes on quickly with no drilling or tapping. Many folks start with the adjustable semi-buckhorn irons to build fundamentals and add glass later.
The big difference is the chambering. The .22 WMR version fires the .22 Magnum cartridge, which runs much faster and hits noticeably harder than .22 LR, making it better suited for small game and varmints at longer rimfire distances. The tradeoff is capacity, with 10 rounds of .22 WMR in the tube versus 12 rounds of .22 LR, and magnum ammo costs more per round. Size, weight, and handling are otherwise nearly identical.
It uses a traditional quarter cock hammer safety rather than a crossbolt or tang-mounted switch. This keeps the rifle simple and true to classic lever gun design, and it's a great way to teach proper hammer control and muzzle discipline from day one.
