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.......

I thought an abused pink towel was obligatory in every household?

You are EXACTLY RIGHT! It used to be a white, terrycloth washrag. How it got to be that beautiful shade of the lightest of pinks, I have no idea!

It is, however, a great bench rag, and I will keep it forever, if not use it in future photo shoots, lest sharp-eyed viewers like Al take me to task! :D

Ours is original pink. It gets used for a lot of things, but nothing that would cause it to not be put through normal laundry.

Love the looks of that Leupold on your Henry and glad you love looking though it, too. That mount keeps the scope nice and low, which is all the better. Good for you, Evan. You do realize, of course, that these low power scopes are going to spoil you. Makes it real hard to go back to iron sights after using one. :)

Thanks for the kind words, NCG! I think the look works for that rifle, and the one-piece rail/ring set up that Talley makes for Henry makes for a simple, clean appearance.

AND, I may be about to find that out the hard way that going back to iron sights will be tough. I'm lusting after a BBB Carbine-length 45Colt right now, and I"ve vowed to put a Skinner Peep/Lyman globe set-up on it, just because.

And it IS a LOW power scope! At 50 yds, I can get a good bead on my aim-point, but I can't really see the holes after the shot. Way better than a peep sight, that's for sure, but I'm committed to some "old school" work in the near future!

Very similar to my own Evan. Yours looks great!
