Evilv Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Anybody thinking of parting with an immaculate Henry Varmint Express by any chance, before I go out and buy a new one?

Evilv Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Just a little bit of info http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=285303 Hey thanks for that Rabbithunter. Sorry for not replying earlier, I just found this today. Very interesting and confirms that I will probably be getting one. Only thing I would change about it if I could would be that the receiver was made out of case hardened steel with that kind of lovely blueing that gives. I'm a bit put off by the painted nature of the receiver, but the damned thing works well, and I like the shape, so that will have to do for now. I could see if they do the GoldenBoy in 17hmr, but I doubt they do. I won't have it moderated though. Would ruin the looks, and I expect that the bullet crack is so loud the muzzle report won't frighten them any more than the crack of the supersonic bullet. If I want 'quiet' I can have it with the cz and subs. This is for style and longer shots. Edited July 25, 2008 by Evilv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio1ham Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 i had one of those in .22 cracking little gun only thing wrong with the one i had it wasnt threaded for sound moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilv Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) I'm actually toying with the idea of selling on the cz452 and getting one of the octagon barrel, frontier models as well as the varminter express. To be honest, I reckon I could shoot a rabbit at 50 yards with open sights every time anyway and this .22lr is really nice in my opinion. radio1ham - I'm noticing that noise is not such a deterrent for most of my rabbiting, and with sub sonic ammo the report is tiny anyway. The cz with a mod is quieter than an airgun and the thwack of the rabbit being struck is FAR louder than the unmoded shot. The rabbits usually don't even notice even that right nearby.

I shoot on a place with a lot of horses too. They don't generally seem that frisky though when I shoot off a stinger and they are loudish without the mod on. Anyway - The variation came through (on the phone - it will be posted out in a short while) so I bought a new Winchester 9417 I found on Guntrader. I had the 9422 in WMR twenty some years ago so I know the gun and they are excellent. I like this better than the Henry's because they are steel receivers rather than alloy. They stopped making these in 2005 and I didn't expect to be able to find one at a sensible price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
