357 Big Boy first day out

Post by whittlebeast » Mon Apr 23, 2018 5:31 pm

Amazing gun out of the box. This is about the limit of my eyes on 1x glass at 50 yards. That was shot standing with my front hand knuckles resting on a tree.

Nice job for sure. I bet you really like the way that carbine model handles. I have one in a 45 colt and it is really a great handling gun. Al

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~.jpg
Yes, the .357 BB is an excellent Henry, Whittle. For the first time out with a NOOB rifle, the "limit of your eyes" was not a problem. Your target shows some impressive POIs......good shooting!

My best comment is last. That wood on your Henry is really beautiful. Sure glad that MO has a part in supplying Henry with so many great-looking stocks and forearms! :)

Thanks for your Range Report.

My .357 is so popular, I can't get it out of my son's hands.
