I have got to say, I have well over $100K in firearms in my own personal collection of 35 years of buying and collecting.... This may sound like I am full of sh*t, but I am excpetionally serious, when I tell you, one of my top favorite units in my Henry Arms, lever action .22LR smooth bore, mini garden rifle with walnut finish the H001GG. I adore that dinky rifle, and is one that I always have fun with. Every time at the range, people see me playing with a dinky miniature rifle and are like "what is that, and can I see it, can I shoot it?"..LOL.. it never fails to draw a crowd. That grey walnut so smoothly transitioned to the metal works is just beautiful. I wish I had a lager one to match it like in a 30-06 or something, oh wait, I do, never mind that beating the day lights out of my shoulder, LOL... But the mini's, as so dang much fun. I do not wear hearing pro's when playing with it in open field ranges, (I would recommend hearing pro for closed in areas) with any firearm. My and my buddy's each have a mini, and (well, I have 2 of them, will explain later) and we bring those along, when we bring out all the other toys, and it never fails, re all end up playing and competing in our own little match 25, 40, 50, 75, and 100 yards, we set up soda cans, as permission of the range officers, as this is something we have been doing for 7 to 8 years, and we all will be seeing who has the steadier off had shoots. Let us not forget, this series is smooth bore, no riflings in the barrel. the little guy starts to flop projectiles around at about 40 yardsand the grouping progressively opens up after that. 150 yards, you will be lucky at a 3 foot grouping, LOL, 200 yards, I don't know how bad it is, I have yet to find a barn side large enough to lay out a grouping pattern, LOL. It is known up front, what these are just trainer rifle for young boys and girls, like what were given in cub scouts, and boy scouts of America, some would graduate to a semi 10/22 REM's or the McCormics, ultimately, to be graded upon at the end of the training year, of all the newly skill sets learned, who well did a kid take care of the unit, etc... wonderful units for that.. now, to have a group of 40 to 50 year old idiots out there playing with kids toys, I realize it might look like we all lost our minds, But, I am just telling you, those dinky units, just like the unit you showcased in this video the H001 which is just like the H001GG, other then the wood is different and finished different. both are wonderful units. and they are so affordable. NEW from Henry Arms, pending the model you desire out of the mini garden rifle series, can range from $250 to $580. That is amazing, for the amount of fun me and my buddy's have had with them. Which was ALLOT over the years. I mentioned I have two of these units. Well, my second unit, with a .22 Lapua CenterX or other higher performing cartridges in that format, Out side of my weaker skill set of a steady hand, I can reach out to 400 to 600 yards with the other one, I changed the barrel out to what ended up being a 19.250" long rifled barrel, I wanted a 22 inch barrel, but my machine would only let me get the 19.250 inch long. Although i am biased towards this units, my buddy's laugh at it and call it the girraffe due to its strangely long barrel to stock proportions, LOL.. I did the best I could to match the blu-ing and the clear coat as the receiver color and shine, but it is off a few shades. that is okay though, I adore that unit. The barrel is out of a incorrectly ordered, wrong barrel received type deal of my buddy and the company would not accept it back as it was suppose to be a large diameter unit, and them sent a tapered barrel to him, or that is what his order form shows, meaning, he screwed up and not the company. but it has a Bergara barrel on it, machined to fit my dinky Henry Arm. One thing I wished I had thought of before doing this barrel was to machine it to be a hex O.D. barrel. that would have looked so cool. I don't know how the transition would have worked out to he receiver frame, but the idea of a hex barrel would have been so cool looking. it is modified politely for a more straighter weaver top rail and more sharply defined rail, for more bite on the scope rings frictional grip. I haven't had time to finish the miniature bi-pod system for it, with is QD for ones needs. just scaled down to match the dinky rifles look. the legs have walnut pec's or laminate outer layer to match the stock's color and look and finish. I am telling you, these stupid little mini garden rifle are so much fun and all the other toys, sure, they are fun, but there is always something that each one has that is a detractor from the fun aspect, but not the mini lever actions. grab a box of ammo (better grab a box of 500) and the garden rifle, throw it in the back pack, and head out to the back yard or range. so much relaxing fun, worry free. and the Henry ALWAYS WORKS, never once has it had issues. Ammo on the other hand, of course, that is the nature of the beast with rim fire, but, never the rifle itself.. LOVE THESE UNITS. pardon the novel, Just wanted to share that stuff, and how much fun these lil guys are.

There was a time you could even buy rimfire smooth bore guns made for using rimfire shot shells. I have an old box of Remington high velocity shorts with hollow point bullets.

Veteran - that makes sense - fiber plug transmits the impact pressure straight down, wax acts like a fluid at impact and transmits pressure to the side hydraulically.

I've tried to keep a small supply of 22 shorts in our safe just for introducing others to shooting sports. We also have some CCI quiet. It shoots very precise out of our henry lever carbine. That's a pretty block. Don't melt it was a good decision. And some of us would watch you shoot cans with a 22 for 15 minutes. Like the hat and shirt.

I've always wondered just how 'powerful' those 'shorts' are, now I know. Really interesting video, Thank you Sir!

I know a guy that shoots a lot of those 60gn Agulias...Like you said, they don't stabilize, So they are no-bueno for over 100yds. He is trying to get a faster twist barrel to test the heavier bullets with. Again, thanks for sharing.

Excellent video great to see all of these obscure round tested and accurate info regarding the sniper sub Sonics. I will eventually try them with a CMMG conversion

I haven't shot anything but LR for a long time. Pretty interesting and I might look for some of these locally.

...that Colibri is exellent for an indoor ranges...virtually silent from rifles...I use office storage boxes packed with old magazines as a backstop...

Good stuff! The ending with the different rounds sounds was interesting. I love the shorts in my Henry too - always gets a look at the range when you shoot 21 rounds lol

11 inches of penetration out of a .22 short? Never underestimate the twenty-two. Edit: 13” from another short. Damn.

I got a head shot on a pesky skunk with the Super Colibri and it was one and done. Don't count that ammo out. Also, for such low velocity, the Sniper Subsonic went through a 2×4 and 2 layers of drywall when I tested it. Aguila makes great and interesting products.

Thanks for doing this video. Very good selection of ammo for testing. Some I use for different reasons.

Very very interesting. The Golden short surprised me. But those Colibre loads are too cool. I need another lever gun, versatility is amazing. Take care brother
