Post by jkrijt » Sat May 11, 2019 4:53 pm

Today I attended the 'Dutch Lever Action Match 2019' in Wassenaar in the Netherlands It was organised by the WLASSH, the Winchester Lever Action Shooters Society Holland. I attended in the 'Trapper' class (25 meter) and the Legacy class (50 meter) with my Henry Small Game .22lr and I am happy with the results.

There were some more Henry rifles, some .22lr and some bigger.

I was very happy with my Henry.
Last year, I had a Norico lever action in 22lr and ended 34th place on the 25 meter
I did not compete in the 50 meter class because my Norinco was not good enough.
This year I was 17th in the 25 meter class (50 other shooters) and 12th in the 50 meter class (30 other shooters) so the Henry is absolutely a better rifle.
