We have no doubt a Henry Mini Bolt Youth .22 is the perfect rifle for introducing youngsters to shooting and hunting. But of course, we're just a little biased, so why take just our word for it? Go ahead and talk to the knowledgeable folks on the U.S.A. Olympic Shooting Team who were so impressed by its kid-friendly performance and bull's eye-punching accuracy, they named it the Official Youth Rifle of their program.

Like all legendary Henry Rifles, it's crafted right here at our own manufacturing plant in the USA, so your child can enjoy all the same made-in-America reliability that you get from your adult-sized Henry rifles. The Mini Bolt's one-piece synthetic stock has an 11 inch length of pull and is ideally proportioned for small-framed shooters. Plus, its single-shot, European-style bolt action makes it a safe, reliable first gun to get your child or grandchild started on. Because it weighs in at feather-light 3.0 pounds, kids won't mind toting it to the range or in the woods.

To maximize safety, we outfitted the Mini Bolt with a manually operated safety switch that, when set, prevents the gun from firing even when cocked. This is so that young eyes can get on target easily, even in low-light conditions, and we also fitted the stainless steel barrel with high visibility Williams Fire Sights with two bright green fiber-optic dots on the adjustable rear sight and one brilliant red dot for the front bead.

And we didn't forget about the great looks that young people appreciate. The stainless steel elements contrast dramatically with the black stock and illuminated sights. The beavertail forearm includes wraparound checkering, making it easy for young hands to grip. We have the black stock in the shop, and can order this one with an orange stock special for you.
