I have been lusting after a pump 22. Any input on the Henry H003T vs the Remington 572BDL, other than the Rem is ~$100 more. I have been looking for a used Win 06 or 62, or a Rossi, but have struck out so far. I don't have a dealer to use Gunbroker.
I have a Model 12 (which is the previous model; design changes are almost indistinguishable) that was my grandfather's and could not agree more. If I were ever so unfortunate enough to be parted with this rifle, i'd look no further than the same model for a replacement.In my opinion, the Remington 121 is the finest pump .22lr. They can be found used for less than the Winchesters and are every bit as nice, if not nicer.
Yep, looks like you'll be good to go with sights, too.henryrepeating.com said:It also sports a grooved receiver for mounting a scope, and Marbles semi-buckhorn fully adjustable rear sights with standard 3/8" dovetail slots enabling you to change sights if you choose to do so.
No, most of them have rifling, though a smoothbore variant is available. Accuracy would greatly deteriorate if using typical .22cal. rimfire in a smoothbore...the same is true of using .22cal. shot in the rifled barrel.Correct me if I am wrong but, doesn't the Remington 572 have a smooth bore? I would imagine that this could be detrimental to accuracy.
