Henry range report

bigdel · 12-23-2010, 04:13 PM

Took the Henry lever action to the range for the third time and started building some confidence at 25 yards. Here is a picture of my first attempt at 50 yards, with iron sites. I know I got some practicin' to do

Nuthin wrong with that! Ill bet you had a good time. I like your henry. Keep practicing and you will be knockin the center out real soon. Thanks for the report...

Works for me!

not bad at all for your first attempt,next time try not putting your trigger finger so far on trigger,looks like your pulling a little right old semperfi

Try shooting at coke cans, sometimes its easier to have a definitive target rather than a mass of black. Besides thats what 22's were made for anyway. Not that you can't use the silhoutte but I just find its more fun using cans, tennis balls, pingpong balls, gallon jugs with water etc.

Is that offhand? My Henry 22 mag at 50 yards off a bench scoped will shoot under a half inch if I do my part and use ammo it prefers.

im glad you posted this i have been looking at the henry and i really like the way it looks but didnt know about how it would shoot looks to me like it did good

bigdel · 01-04-2011, 08:46 PM

I was shooting off the bench. I think it will do much better once I get it better sited in. You are right about the target, but I do love shooting it

I have been coveting that gun for awhile. I have the Henry Bigboy .44 and think they would make a nice set.

Good shooting, but looks like you may want to move your poi to the left a bit if your shooting off a bench as it looks like most of your group is shooting to the right.
And as the old saying goes, aim small, miss small. You might try and set up a samller target and you'll be better focused on a smaller sight picture.

I just ordered the Henry catalog today. I would love to add another lever action to my collection. I only have one (Winchester 1894 trapper .44mag) and it needs like minded company!
