Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between .22 WMR and .22 LR, and why does it matter?

The .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire), commonly called .22 Magnum, delivers significantly more velocity and energy than the standard .22 LR. This translates to a flatter trajectory, greater effective range, and more stopping power — making it an excellent choice for small game hunting such as squirrels, rabbits, and prairie dogs, as well as varmint control. If you need more performance than a .22 LR but prefer a manageable rimfire platform, the .22 WMR is an outstanding option.

Can I mount a scope on the Henry Golden Boy .22 WMR?

Yes. The Henry Golden Boy .22 WMR features a drilled and tapped receiver, making it straightforward to add a scope or red dot sight using standard mounting hardware. While the factory adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight are excellent for open-sights shooting, adding a quality rimfire scope can further extend your effective range and accuracy — particularly useful for hunting or precision target shooting.

How does the tubular magazine work, and is it easy to load?

The Henry Golden Boy uses a brass-tipped tubular magazine loaded from the front of the stock. To load, simply unscrew the magazine tube cap, slide rounds into the tube nose-first, and replace the cap — no tools required. The Golden Boy in .22 WMR holds up to 12 rounds, giving you plenty of capacity for an extended range session or a full day of hunting. The loading process is smooth and intuitive, even for new shooters.
