Limbsaver effectiveness H010
Re: Limbsaver effectiveness H010
Well I finally got around to trying it and......
Woo-hoo that was a blast!!!
The Limb Saver worked beautifully!!!
I didn't fire a bunch of rounds but considering I'm still recovering from shoulder surgery, I would rather work my way back a little at a time.

Absolutely no pain or bruising. I actually decided to go with my hunting round for the first round. 405 grain hard cast bullet at about 1600 fps.
I had my SIL with me in case I couldn't do it he could check out the sights for me.
The Skinner sights were amazing also.

I know, I only put a few rounds on paper before switching to reactive targets.
I am very impressed with both products!!!!!

Re: Limbsaver effectiveness H010
Not sure how I got three of the same picture, can't seem to delete the other two....
Can I just count it as three rifles??? Lol
NOTE : multiple copies of the same picture taken care of .... no need to count to 3

Re: Limbsaver effectiveness H010
It may sound crazy but this is my Grail gun.
I guess this is why I got so excited that I was still able to shoot it, and that the accuracy had improved so much with just a sight change.
I had some concerns that I might not be able to shoot it anymore after the work I had done.
Now, It's all Good!!!

all too well understood .... a heart issue put me on blood thinning meds for several years .... consequently, felt recoil became a huge concern .... at this link ===>http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... eez#p33403 <=== you can find a post outlining the mods I had made to our 45-70 and a 12 ga shotgun .... I'm no longer on those meds but I remain very happy with the results

That Skinner sight looks like it belongs there. Like it came from the Henry factory that way.
The Limb Saver looks cushy. I think I'm going to need one. After 60 rounds at my last trip (first trip for my Henry) to the range I had a knot and light bruise on my shoulder. Obviously there is no cushioning from the brass butt plate of the H009B.

Re: Limbsaver effectiveness H010
I did notice that the combination of recoil pads, although effective, did lengthen my trigger pull. It was almost a stretch to work the action. I could do it but, it was at the limit of my reach.
If I decide to stay with the Limbsaver ( more than likely) I will probably switch to the permanent one and fit it to the stock. That will reduce the length of pull back to pretty close to original.
