Thread: Henry single shot 223

I want a rifle primarily for long range rabbit shooting and goats. I like single shots and one that will take 5.56 as well seems like a good idea. I like the simplicity and not having to worry about whether longer cartridges will fit in my magazine. The ability to break them down is a bonus too.
Has anyone used one of these? How would it compare to a baikal single shot?
A criticism I have heard is that the trigger is a bit industrial. Can anyone confirm that. If so can it be fixed.

there was great looking spartan model Bakail in forsale section last week...they are great...someone has the henry in 45/70 and wrote about it....3??? weeks back... love the look of them,reminds me of the winchester 410 I started my hunting journey using.

Bergara do single shots in .222 and 300BLK if that's of interest. Nice guns.

i would take a bergara over a henry anyday

Hmmm...I really like 223 as a calibre and can't be arsed reaming out a barrel. For the money I may as well grab a howa in 223

This Bergara is a lovely rifle, but reaming out from 222 to 223 you have an unusual beast a 223 with a 1/14 twist which limits the weight of projectile to 55g tops, perhaps 50g even more suited. Phil your 1/9 gives you projectile weight options. Don't know if you have read Nathan Foster stuff, its a great read about the history, of the 223 https://www.ballisticstudies.com/ go to Knowledgebase/ CartridgeRsearch
