Hello from Kansas

Post by leverjc » Fri Mar 13, 2020 5:51 pm

Good evening

I just bought my first Henry a Big Boy in .357. I have had it to the range twice and it is one of the most accurate lever rifles that I have owned. I wish it had a better trigger and a 24" barrel but it is a Henry. I will be predominately in Lever Action Sihloutte and the extra sight length would be nice and I like how the extra weight up front feels when I am shooting off hand. I am doing things about the 7.75lb trigger it came with and only have a little bit more work to make it acceptable.
Looking forward to learning from everyone at this forum.

Thanks

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.......

Welcome from Nebraska. Glad you are happy with your 357. It sounds like you are capable of making it sing. Enjoy.
