Fiber Optic rear, Fiber Optic frontOptics: Drilled & Tapped (BB-RSM mount)Safety: Transfer BarExtras: Swivel Studs, Large Loop Lever, M-Lok, Picatinny Rail, 5/8x24 Threaded Barrel, Fiber Optic SightsThe H12 PlatformThe H12 platform is Henry's steel-framed lever action for pistol-caliber magnum cartridges. It gives you the handy size and light recoil of a pistol-caliber carbine with the muscle of rounds like the .44 Magnum and .357 Magnum, making it a strong choice for deer at woods ranges, ranch and truck use, and cowboy action shooting.About This ModelHenry's X Model configuration is the modern take on the lever action, with black synthetic furniture, accessory rails and features aimed at hunting, home and ranch use.Action, Barrel and HandlingThe lever action cycles smoothly and quickly, and the rifle feeds from a tubular magazine. Henry lists the safety as transfer bar. Learn how it works with an empty gun before you load it. The 17.4-inch barrel is round blued steel, with a 1:16 rate of twist. Overall length is 36.3 inches and the gun weighs 7.3 lbs, so it carries and handles well.Sights, Optics and FitSights are a fully adjustable fiber optic rear and a fiber optic front. For optics, Henry lists it as drilled & tapped and compatible with the BB-RSM mount. Choose rings or a mount that keep the optic low over the bore so your cheek stays on the stock. The stock is Black Synthetic in a pistol grip style, with a black solid rubber recoil pad buttplate and a 14-inch length of pull.Choosing AmmunitionThe .357 Magnum gains a lot of velocity from a rifle-length barrel, which makes it effective on deer-size game at modest ranges. These rifles also shoot .38 Special, which is affordable and has very light recoil for practice and cowboy action shooting. Always use quality factory ammunition that matches the caliber marked on the barrel (.357 Magnum/.38 Spl), and confirm your zero with the exact load you plan to use.At the RangeFor target shooting and plinking, the smooth Henry action makes it easy to stay on target and enjoy a long session. Start with paper targets at short distance to learn the sights, then move to steel or reactive targets as your groups tighten. Keep a log of the loads that group best so you can return to them.In the Hunting FieldBefore the season, zero the gun with the exact load you plan to hunt with and practice at the distances you expect in your area. Learn to work the action without taking the gun off your shoulder, keep your shots inside your proven range, and check the hunting regulations where you hunt for legal calibers, capacity and seasons.Care and OrderingWipe down the metal after each outing, keep the bore and action lightly oiled and store the rifle unloaded and secured.
