Henry Rifle Forums

Yep, 2-1/2". I agree on shot placement. I'm leaning towards the Henry, but I got to get a peep sight for it. Already have a peep on other two. I got til weekend before Thanksgiving to get one ready.

That's the same weekend our reg gun season opens.
Good luck again, will be lookin forward to successful hunt photo.

Thanks. Oldest Grandson coming over to get some meat out of freezer. Usually put 2-3 in freezer every year, but my wife has got to where she has problems eating deer meat. So think I'm gonna just shoot 1 this season.

When you cook the venison, mix a little beef fat in with it.

I just bought Miss T a Mossberg 500 410 pump to use around the farm. 3" slugs cycle fine and the 24" barrel with twin beads should be accurate. We have been waiting for temps to drop below 100 so she can shoot it. It's legal for deer, but I can't eat it and she will likely just use it for Yotes. On reading the reviews, they are said to be great little deer guns.

It's just been too hot to do much shooting here also. I bet she will like that 410.

She has a mossberg defender pump, with the short barrel and broomhandle forend. I bought her the longer barrel for slugs and varmints and vermin as well as hunting if she chooses to now and then. She hunted deer for years, but not lately.

A little late now but looks like I started something I didn't finish. Especially since deer season been out over a month. But I already had peep sight on the Rossi single shot and was using it for squirrels. So I checked it first with the slugs at 25 yards, and I didn't have to adjust the sights. Since it was on, I didn't even sight in the mossy or Henry. Plus I didn't have to many slugs. Next season I plan to use the Henry more.
