Rimfire Henry: round vs octagonal barrel?
« on: December 04, 2007, 01:03:25 PM »
Thinking seriously about getting a Henry rimfire for smallbore Cowboy Rifle Silhouette.

Will more than likely go with the octagonal barrel model (H001T) as I like the look but are there any actual advantages/disadvantages to either barrel?

Thanks.

Not really. The only one is the octagon may weigh a tad more. I haven't noticed any other than that.
The sportsman lives his life vicariously. For he secretly yearns to have lived before, in a simpler time. A time when his love for the land, water, fish and wildlife would be more than just part of his life. It would be his state of mind

You should look into this.   I think the H001T has a dovetail front site, where the H001 has a plastic barrel band/front site.
If its true, I would go with the H001T just for this reason alone.

Henry will send a replacement band if needed and then you can get a metal site from the links in the stickys at the top of the page. ;D
