Owners of the Henry Frontier in .17 HMR tend to appreciate the octagon barrel and walnut stock combination, citing it as a well-made rimfire that feels more substantial than most modern tube-fed rifles. The 13-round capacity gets consistent praise for a rimfire lever gun.

In the field, the straight grip walnut stock and the semi-buckhorn sights work well for small game and varmint use where the .17 HMR excels at distance. A few shooters note the adjustable rear sight is serviceable but that a scope mount is the first upgrade most make.

The Frontier's trigger gets generally positive marks, though some owners find it heavier than expected from the factory. Fit and finish on the blued receiver and octagon barrel is considered solid, though opinions on the aluminum receiver vs. a steel one remain mixed.
