Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose .17 HMR over .22 LR for varmint hunting?

The .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) offers a significantly flatter trajectory and higher velocity — typically around 2,550 fps — compared to .22 LR. This makes it far more effective for small game and varmint hunting at distances of 100–150 yards, where the .22 LR begins to drop noticeably. The Henry Silver Boy in .17 HMR is an excellent choice for prairie dogs, squirrels, rabbits, and similar targets where precision at longer ranges matters.

Can I mount a scope on the Henry Silver Boy .17 HMR?

Yes. The Henry Silver Boy's receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory, making it straightforward to mount a standard Weaver-style scope base. Given the flat-shooting nature of .17 HMR, many shooters pair this rifle with a quality 3–9x40 rimfire scope to take full advantage of its long-range accuracy potential. Iron sights are also fully functional and adjustable right out of the box.

Is the Henry Silver Boy a good option for new lever-action shooters?

Absolutely. Henry lever-action rifles are widely praised for their smooth, user-friendly action and consistent quality, making them one of the best entry points into lever-action shooting. The Silver Boy's manageable .17 HMR caliber produces light recoil, the controls are intuitive, and the American Walnut stock fits a wide range of shooters comfortably. Henry also backs every rifle with a lifetime warranty, giving new owners added peace of mind.
