aarongraham, glad to hear that the Henry single shots are accurate.... they are significantly higher quality than the Cricket & Chipmunk in my opinion.
I actually have a single shot youth Marlin SS in .22lr with FO sights & wood stock, which I absolutely love and would never part with voluntarily. I have dedicated it to Aguila super colibris and it's really hard on the squirrels, pigeons, doves, and grackles around here. I have lengthened the LOP via a slip-on recoil pad.
But I want a .17 hummer (I think - again) in a rifle like this - a little longer barrel (maybe 18-20", not a 16" like this one), but in a light/sporter weight - but onto which a medium-large scope would not look too ridiculous. (the scope I have sitting in the safe ready to perch atop the future rifle is a Sightron S2 4.5-14x42mm with AO that goes down to 10 yards).
Edit: On 2nd thought, since you say they came in .17 hummer (I didn't realize that), maybe I should look for a used one. If it's really that accurate, I can possibly overlook the plastic stock and the funky look of a big scope on a little gun - thanks a lot. .22 mag would be interesting too, of course.
Only showing .22lr at the moment: http://www.henryrifles.com/rifles/mini-bolt-youth/
