Henry Single Shot Rifle .243 Win 22″ Walnut Break Action H015-243

Description

There is something refreshing about a rifle that does one thing and does it well. The Henry H015-243 is a break action single shot chambered in .243 Winchester, one of the most versatile deer and predator cartridges ever loaded. Henry built it the old fashioned way, with a matte blued steel receiver, a 22 inch round blued barrel with a 1:10 twist, and genuine American walnut furniture wrapped in a curved pistol grip wrist. At 7.10 pounds and 37.5 inches overall, it carries easy through the timber and points naturally when a buck steps out.

How the Henry Single Shot .243 Runs

The action is about as straightforward as it gets. A locking lever sits on top of the frame behind the hammer spur, and Henry designed it to pivot either left or right to break the barrel open, so left handed hunters get the same easy operation as everyone else. There is no external manual safety to fumble with. Instead, a rebounding hammer keeps the firing pin out of play until the trigger is deliberately pulled, and an interlock system prevents the barrel from opening or closing with the hammer cocked. Load one round, close it up, and hunt.

Sights and Scope Options on the H015-243

Out of the box you get a fully adjustable folding leaf rear sight matched with the same brass bead front Henry puts on its lever guns. When you are ready to stretch the .243 out to its full potential, the receiver comes drilled and tapped for a Weaver 82 style mount, and sling swivel studs are already installed for a comfortable carry setup. A solid black rubber recoil pad caps the 14 inch length of pull, though the mild mannered .243 will not beat you up anyway.

The light recoil and dead simple operation make this a natural pick for a first deer rifle, a truck gun, or anyone who appreciates the discipline of making that first shot count. Fit and finish are what you would expect from Henry, which is to say better than the price class usually delivers.
