Henry golden boy 22 - Don McDowell - 10-26-2012
Who's got one, what can you tell me about the accuracy, and how hard is it to adapt target sights to it?
RE: Henry golden boy 22 - chaneylake - 10-26-2012
I bought one after my 22 Win got stolen, I could not get mine to shoot accurately at close range with the factory sights, I ended up giving it to a guy down the road.
I really liked it, mine would just not shoot

Well keep tryin the thing knobs , you'll get it figured.
I heard if you take a pipe reamer to cut a crown on the barrel, they'll shoot better....

The guy in the Henry commercial does a good job hitting the irons
Earlier this week A guy was shooting one when I was at the range and I watched him knocking the sight over with a punch and hammer and I walked over later on and ask him how is it shooting? he gave me a crooked smile and said just got it but he said I don't think it will hit a squirrel up in the oak tree.

Kurt that don't sound to good....
RE: Henry golden boy 22 - Kurt - 10-27-2012
I don't know Don.
Some guys have a hard time shooting the barrel sights so it's hard to say.
I cant judge them till I get a chance to shoot one.

That's true.
I've seen some of the regular little henry's at some of the 22 matches that seemed to shoot rather well, but you can't change the front sight on them.
