pumper317 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I just got word yesterday that I won a gun from a drawing. I don't know much about the thing, so where better to check than here. It is a Henry Goldenboy .17HMR. Sounds like a nice gun, but does anyone here have any info on them??? Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracker x-2 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I dont know much about a henry hmr I have a savage HMR and its a very nice little tack driver. However if your planning on keeping it our selling it remeber if you fire one shot its automatically looses value ( found that out the hard way ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamptiger Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It's a reproduction of the old Henry Goldenboy lever in a modern rimfire cartridge. Congratulations - I think you will like it, especially if you are into older guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picksbigwagon Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have a friend with a henry lever action 22 and17hmr. They aren't golden boys. It they slick little shooters. I love the hmr round and if you do any kind of small game hunting you will be amazed at the accuracy this round is capable of and damge it can do too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamptiger Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Henry makes a standard model and a Goldenboy with a brass receiver. They also make a pump which is modeled after the old Winchester pump action .22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIBOWMAN Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have a Goldenboy in 22lr. Shoots great, action is smooth and the trigger is not too bad for a lever. Looks awsome with the brass receiver. If you are interested in selling I am interested in buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perchking Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 just did a quick search, neat little gun. Looks to have a value new of about 400 bills or so. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruthWalleyes Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Nice gun. I know someone who just got that gun for free, doing a little contract work for Henry Arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom7227 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 IMO the 17's are a little pricey to plink with and it takes some effort to get out and use it on smaller varmints. The rounds are just a bit too expensive to shoot up cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picksbigwagon Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I agree which is why i own 2 .22's for plinking. My 17 hmr is used for hunting squirrels and rabbits if they hop through the forest at the right time. It is a great small game rifle and i feel comfortable shooting it way past 22 lr range.
