One of my single-shot rifles has recently been discontinued,,,
Not long after I got back into shooting,,,
That was in the spring of 2007,,,
I saw a Henry Acu-Bolt.
In hindsight I don't think I would have purchased it,,,
The rifle with it's Henry branded scope was just a bit under $300.00.
$289.00 plus tax if I recall correctly.
My CZ-452 that I purchased years later was only $358 delivered from Buds.
There was just something about it's looks that attracted me to it,,,
Then I ran the bolt a few times and hefted it,,,
I liked it's feel and loved it's looks.
I had no idea the price was a bit high for a single-shot rifle,,,
So in my naivety I whipped out my Cabela's Visa,,,
And took that pricey gun home with me.
I've never regretted the purchase,,,
It's a very precise little rifle,,,
Light and very pointable.
That cheap 4X scope held it's zero for years,,,
I loaned the rifle to a friend of mine ,,,
His son enrolled in a 4-H program.
So we pulled the scope as required by the program,,,
The Williams Fiber Optic sights were very useable.
That's when we found out the rifle had been discontinued by Henry,,,
My buddy tried to order a new one for his son,,,
He's still looking for a used one to buy.
One of my range acquaintances has one in .22 Magnum,,,
He can keep a group in a 1.5" circle at 100 yards,,,
I can't do that with mine but he comes close,,,
Younger eyes and all that stuff.
The only thing I don't like is the actual trigger,,,
It has a clean break and low weight,,,
But it's a cheap stamped part,,,
It needs a shoe of some ilk.
It's a quality rifle with a unique look,,,
Pick it up and handle it if you ever see one.
You might like it as much as I do mine.
