The Henry Singleshot .357 Magnum/.38 Special rifle is a classic example of simplicity and reliability, crafted with the discerning shooter in mind. At its core, this firearm prioritizes the essentials: accuracy, durability, and ease of use. The 22-inch round blued steel barrel offers an ideal blend of weight distribution and balance, ensuring precision shot after shot.
Featuring a twist rate of 1:16", it optimally stabilizes your rounds for consistent performance. This model comes equipped with fully adjustable folding leaf rear sights complemented by a brass bead front sight to facilitate rapid target acquisition under various lighting conditions.
The blued steel receiver not only enhances the rifle's aesthetic appeal but also provides robust protection against wear and corrosion. A drilled and tapped provision allows for optional scope mounting using Weaver 82 mounts — offering versatility whether you prefer iron sights or optical enhancements.
Constructed from American Walnut, both the stock and forearm exhibit natural beauty while ensuring resilience in harsh environments. The solid black rubber recoil pad minimizes felt recoil during extended shooting sessions without compromising on comfort or control. With an overall length of 37.5 inches and weighing in at just over seven pounds (7.18 lbs), this rifle strikes a harmonious balance between portability and stability.
This single-shot mechanism employs a uniquely designed locking lever that pivots left or right for unlocking — accommodating both left-handed and right-handed shooters seamlessly. Safety remains paramount; thus, it features a rebounding hammer system which prevents accidental discharge unless deliberately triggered alongside an interlock mechanism preventing improper cycling when cocked.
Designed for hunters who relish the challenge presented by having one round chambered at any time as well as those appreciating straightforward engineering excellence—make no mistake—the Henry Singleshot stands ready to tackle tasks ranging from target practice to large game hunting with uncompromising standards akin to their celebrated centerfire counterparts.
