Mine shot high also at 25 yards. Henry sent me a new front sight that I ended up not using. I ended up putting a Lyman Globe sight that I already had on it. Works very well now. Point is that Henry sent a new sight no problem.

 

My issues were different than yours, but I experienced that same "bad taste", having to send three of my four Henry 22s back to NJ for service.

All three were repaired to my satisfaction but of course it was a pain to ship them back. I was certainly not as impressed as some with my customer service experience either. Clearly the CS reps are trained to try to send out new levers as a catch all solution, as this happened to me all 3 times I dealt with them.

Actually, my small game carbine is the only one that was GTG out of the box, with the sights being about dead on at 25 yards with no adjustment needed.

 

My Small Game Rifle - H001TRP arrived this morning with the same sight issue . It's shooting 2-3 inches high at 25 yds with the peep sight bottomed out.

Looking at the 'straight line sight plane', the top of the mounting plate for the Skinner sight is really close to the same height above the barrel as the top of the front sight. Rifle need a taller front sight.

I expect Henry will send out another front sight like they did for jstanfield103.

 

I did a 3 hour round trip to see 'The Canadian Warranty Guy'. He changed out the front sight with the tallest he had on hand. I believe he said it was one for a 357 model. Now I'm putting CCi Std. Vel. right in there at 25 yds.

Canadian's can't deal directly with Henry (shipping guns back & forth) because of ITAR. Warranty goes through their Canadian Warranty depot, so we are at the mercy of his available part supply or you have to wait for parts.

So ya I'm not left with a "warm and fuzzy" feeling about Henry's Warranty, but it is fixed.

 

My Henry small game rifle was the same prob shooting high at 25 yards with no adjustments left in rear sight.... I ordered the front sight from skinner web sight and prob solved... I’m happy with my gun it shoot quarter size groups at 25 yards with the skinner sights

Yup...me too except I went with a .410 tall Dawson fiber optic front sight...I also went with a smaller insert for the Skinner rear sight.... Shooting great now

If Henry installed the Skinner, they should also have made sure the front sight was high enough so that the rifle did not shoot high. Although the Skinner is a PITA to adjust, did you runout of adjustment to center the left/right?

I've been waiting for this simple issue to be addressed by Henry, before I will purchase. And how this frequently occurring issue remains while customer service gets praise is odd. Quality control is the front line and heart of good customer service.

 

I just bought a Henry H001 TPR which is the Henry Frontier Small Game Rifle in a .22.
It comes with a octagon barrel, large loop, brass bead front sight and a factory installed Skinner rear peep sight.

I've never owned a Henry before but was excited to get this gun. The gun looked very nice and true to form, had that "smooth as silk" Henry action. Upon closer inspection, I noticed what appeared to be a flaw in the finish of the stock on the top side right near the rear tang behind the hammer. When I flipped the gun over, it looked like the same imperfection directly below it on the bottom side.

Putting 2 and 2 together it's my opinion that the wood was fractured and possibly glued to correct it and it started to show up after the finish cured which can happen with glue joints.

Moving forward, I went to test fire the gun at the range since I was already there and the gun was shooting 4 1/2" high and 1/2" to the right at 25 yds. I'm thinking a simple adjustment of the rear peep should get me where I needed to be but the rear sight was out of adjustment or so it seemed because I could not turn it any further to move my point of impact.

I'm in no way bashing Henry as I feel they make a top quality firearm and after contacting them, they issued a shipping label and said they would take care of everything.

After reading many reviews on Henry rifles, my expectations were really high and then my first Henry I purchase has issues. I've heard their warranties and service is second to none but it kinda leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you run into something like this.

I would like to purchase a few more of their rifles but I guess I'll see how this situation gets handled first. My question is......has anyone else experienced any issues like this right out of the box with any of your Henry rifles? Particularly the H001 TPR?

I own a HOO1 Henry with octagon barrel. Mine shot 3 inches high and 3 inches right at 35 yards out of the box.

For elevation you adjust the rear sight via the ramp.

For left/right you need to loosen the rear sight screw and hammer it.

You need a brass dowel and small hammer or you will marr up the sight.

Just watch that video.

 

I agree that if Henry is putting the Skinner sight on the rifles they should have them set up to sight in at 25 yards.

The only reason I bought my SGR was because I figured Henry would have the correct front sight set up for the rear peep sight. They should have corrected this by now at the factory level. Shame on Henry.

I ended up ordering a fiber optic front sight(0.570) from skinner and one size smaller peep.

 

Seems really tall... How did that work out?

I ended up putting a Lyman's globe sight on the front of mine. Works great now.

 

Would you please be more specific? Which Lyman sight series, and what is the height?

I just ordered the H001TRP Small Game Rifle and from what I'm reading here, it sounds like I'm going to have to swap out the front sight. Thanks.

 

falcopilot,
No problem. I put a Lyman .494 High 17 AMI on mine. item #3171078.

I tried the Lyman 17 AUG .584. It was too tall. The .494 has the rear sight with good adjustment both ways. Luckily I had one of each on hand.

Any more questions just ask away. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. Just got the rifle and took it to the range to sight in. It was a few inches left and low at 50 meters, but I got it dialed in pretty close before it started raining. I'll try again tomorrow.

Only thing I don't like about the Skinner rear is the method of adjusting elevation, particularly if switching between 50, 75, or 100 meters.

 

I really like the features this model has to offer(short octagonal bbl, large loop, peep sight) and considered hunting one down for purchase.
A lever gun is sadly missing from my cabinet but after reading some of the issues here I'll be looking around some more....

 

Lot's of similar complaints about the 357 mag and ESPECIALLY the 44 mag carbines and rifles. Seems like a simple thing that Henry should have got right from the start. I want a 44 mag carbine, but I'm not going to get one until Henry fixes this issue. I should not have to swap out a front sight to make a gun shoot correctly.

Apparently Henry's sights are calibrated for loads with light weight bullets (especially in the 44 and 357), but a lot of people who buy them want to use heavy loads for hunting (HSM, Buffalo Bore).

This would cost Henry almost nothing to fix. . .
