I prefer the .17 to a 22 lr, I just like shooting it better, it doesn't ricochet as much, and it doesn't cost too much more for ammo. I always wanted a Henry lever gun, chose the .17 just because. This will be my go to gun for varmints around the house. I did pick up the youth 22 at the same time for my youngest to shoot. They are really fun guns to plink with. I did have one issue, the rear sight wouldn't go low enough to zero. I needed to take it off and file some material off the sight so it would sit lower on the barrel. Not a big deal and only took 10 minutes, but really shouldn't have to do that on a new gun. That is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.","textLength":709,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":true,"autoModerated":true,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":1,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[{"type":1,"dimensionId":3,"dimensionLabel":"Value","id":10,"code":"VAL04","label":null,"value":4},{"type":1,"dimensionId":4,"dimensionLabel":"Durability","id":15,"code":"DUR04","label":null,"value":4},{"type":1,"dimensionId":5,"dimensionLabel":"Quality","id":20,"code":"QUAL4","label":null,"value":4}],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":null,"firstName":"Jeremy","lastName":"Prahm","emailAddress":"[email protected]","externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":"2025-07-19T13:06:00-04:00","purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-11-03T23:53:16-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"catalogItems":[{"sku":"619835-H001V","title":"Henry Varmint Express Lever Action 17 HMR Rifle","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/619835-H001V","category":"lever-action-rifles","reviewCount":1,"ratingCount":1,"averageRating":4,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":0,"3":0,"4":1,"5":0},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]}],"offset":0,"limit":10,"total":1}"Full Description:\nThis is the rifle the range riders of the 1800's would have loved to have had close at hand for picking off varmints or just plinking at whiskey bottles. But, since the .17HMR didn't hit the market until 2002, it will be up to you to make it a legend. The Henry Varmint Express Rifle packs eleven .17HMR rounds in its tubular magazine. It features a 20" barrel, comes with a checkered American walnut Monte Carlo stock. Like all lever action Henrys, the action is incredibly smooth from the very first shot. It will enable small game and varmint hunters to take full advantage of the .17HMR with regard to velocity, trajectory, wind drift, ricochet resistance, quietness, and accuracy.<br />\nThis is the rifle the range riders of the 1800's would have loved to have had close at hand for picking off varmints or just plinking at whiskey bottles.
