It was a beautiful day today, the sun was shining and it was close to 60 degrees so I gave the 357-X it's first good workout. I took along both factory rounds & reloads, it didn't seem to make any difference although I had a few hangups with each which wasn't surprising and I'm sure it was more me than the new rifle. I really like the factory sights and did well with them freehand at 30-40 yards and that's probably all I'm going to ask of it. (If I want to shoot 100+ yards there are other guns in the safe for that.) I plan on leaving it stock but I need to check on getting leather wraps for the lever as it's a little harder on the backs of my fingers that the .22lr.
My overall impression is that it's short & light, easy to maneuver with very little recoil. It is a fun gun to shoot!
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
