Single Shot Level Action Shot Gun...Thoughts?

[Catskillkid]

Saw this email come through from Henry about their single shot/lever action shotguns. I've never handled one before and was just curious if anyone else ever did. Don't think I'd ever get one (I'm a pump or semi-auto shotgun guy myself) but it's kind of neat if you ask me.

I love the dark one, if the price is right?
ejector, extractor or nothing, what does it have? (Extractor is best)

A lot of money for a single shot.

A very VERY rare level action! In fact, the only level action I have ever heard of! Did a carpenter invent the level action?

Some people Hate Innovation!

I personally don't own a Henry (yet). I've checked out a number of them at the stores. They certainly pay attention to fit and finish on them. Seems a bit pricy but if the quality is there......................

Removable chokes. Nice. My old H&R and Spesco were fixed full chokes. Back in the day they cost me $80 new.

Henry makes some nice rifles..but for that price Id get something else

For that kind of cash you are into a Mossberg 590, and a whole lot more firepower.

I don't think they are imported here yet . looks a bit on the cool side .

The "level" action will only operate if the firearm is perfectly level and plumb.

That's what I was thinking. Targets have to be very close, and exactly on the horizon.
