New Long Ranger in .223/5.56

Post by Mags » Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:22 pm

Got mine this afternoon. :P . In the box, 2 piece Skinner scope mount and a one sided hammer extender.

Drew first blood with it when I got it home. Stabbed myself in the back of the hand when I racked the bolt back :oops:

Very nice-looking wood on your new Henry, especially the richness of the stock grains. Henry done ya proud! :D
Sure glad you didn't splatter all over the rifle!

Thanks! Nice looking wood is the first thing my wife said. I was afraid after the .30-30 shiny brass she'd think it anticlimactic. Everything on this Long Ranger looks well done. Wood meets metal smoothly. The white diamond in the buckhorn is centered under the notch. Front and rear sights centered on the barrel and snug. No defects evident in the bore or crown. No defects in bluing. Just got to get out and shoot it now.

Very nice, Mags! Absolutely beautiful furniture, front and rear! Look forward to reading your range report. Don't know how far you can reach where you shoot, but I'm thinking it will do well no matter what.
Nice accessories, as well, and thanks for including the Uberti. Al will appreciate that!

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.......

Love the wood, too. As always, have to hand it to Henry on the wood they supply on their guns.

Remember I'm a renegade to the adhoc same caliber in picture rule. So the picture includes my Uberti .45. (and my pink gun towel).

At my place I'm setup for 75 yds. I could do maybe 90-95 in my current setup, but would be shooting though low hanging branches. Another spot I could do beyond 100yds but it is mostly underwater this time of year. I was thinking I might try to do my first shoot today, but not sure I'll have the time. The Long Ranger opportunity kinda interrupted other things I had going on. And I need to stay focused on getting those other things done. So although getting the Long Ranger won out in priority, getting to shoot it is a waffling priority. Later I'll put a Brass Stacker sling on it and a scope. Those have to wait. It was $ stretch to get the Long Ranger, which will take a while to recover from.

Al has certainly shown his appreciation. We PM'd about it :P

There's gotta be a range report, right?
