Henry Pump Action Octagon

About the Henry Pump Action Octagon

The Henry Pump Action Octagon (model H003T in .22 LR, H003TM in .22 WMR) is a modern American-made pump-action rimfire rifle reminiscent of the classic gallery guns of the early 20th century like the Winchester Model 1890 and Remington Model 12. It features a 20-inch octagon blued steel barrel, American walnut straight-grip stock and ribbed pump slide, brass bead front sight with fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear, and a tubular magazine holding 16 rounds of .22 LR (21 .22 Short) or 12 rounds of .22 Magnum. Marketed by Henry as the H3 Frontier Pump Action, it is one of very few pump-action rimfires still in regular production today.

Pump-action .22s once dotted every county fair and amusement park shooting gallery in early 20th-century America, but as semi-auto rimfires took over, manufacturers abandoned the action type entirely. Henry brought the pump-action rimfire back in the late 1990s, and today the H003T is essentially the last mass-produced American gallery gun - a direct lineage from the Winchester Model 1890 that John Browning designed in 1888.

Octagon barrel is a signature feature, evoking the classic American 'gallery gun' aesthetic. Pump action allows for very fast follow-up shots while keeping the eye on target - popular for plinking, small game, and youth shooting.
