If you’re sold on the Western styling conjured up by a lever action .22 and want more stopping power for small game and varminting, the .22 Magnum is right for you. Featuring a deluxe checkered American walnut stock, a grooved receiver for easy scope mounting, and a 19¼” barrel that will deliver the accuracy you need.
The tubular magazine holds 9 rounds and weighs 5½ pounds with an overall length is 37½”. With regards to ballistics, in general, the .22 Magnum projectile travels nearly twice as fast as the .22 LR and produces more than triple the muzzle energy.
Clair Rees, who authored a Rimfire Column article in GUNS Magazine, had this to say about this rifle, “I’ve done enough shooting with Henry’s .22 Magnum to know it operates smoothly and reliably. Accuracy is good, too. At 50 yards, it produced 5-rounds averaging an even inch center-to-center with Winchester Supreme jacketed hollowpoints. This great looking .22WMR lever carbine delivers. This is a good buy.”
This rifle has had the tubular magazine permanently blocked in order to only accept 9rounds of .22 WMR ammunition.
