Henry Rifle Forums

Got out on the back porch this morning for a little practice with this 1939 gill gun with the really tiny front sight - could barely see it at all . Haven't shot it in a couple three years. Shooting from about 40 yds with the rifle resting on the railing and me on my knees. Not the steadiest position as you can tell from the 2 flyers but at least everything was on the paper. Full tube (14) of CCI mini-mag HP.

steady or not, that ain't bad at all

I wish I could figure out how to put a scope on it without resorting to duck tape or hose clamps. I've got an old Tasco rimfire scope just sitting in a drawer that I'd be happy with.

Looks like fun. I really like shooting rimfire.

do a Google search for Aavage 6A with scope .... there appears to be mounts out there

I've done that in the past. They all require drilling or machining of the receiver, which I don't want to have done. My preference would be a set of rings that simply clamp on to the receiver without any machining being needed.

understood .....

Any pics. of the rifle?
Some nice shootin there.
