Got my Big Boy Steel 41 Mag Carbine today

[JEBar]

With that Im going to ask JEBar to start a new thread for any other responses because this we have wandered way off what the original topic was.

good point .... many of our threads tend to wander about and usually get back on track on their own .... starting with this post, lets get this one back to a discussion of 41 Mag .... anyone who feels compelled to discuss other topics involving loading gates is more than welcome to revive one of the many that have existed over time or to start a new one .... I'm asking the Deputy Marshals to help me keep an eye out to ensure that is the case

Moved to 'Why the .41 Mag' thread.

It'll probably be a few weeks before I get back home.

Well then, guess we'll just have to wait...

Might get home tomorrow for a day or 2.... maybe, not sure yet.

Hope so. Then you can tell us how your Henry and scope setup shoots for you.

I Called Swift just now to get some load data to get me started... very nice lady answered the phone and took my info, said she'd have their ballistician call me back when he got back in the office.

I can and will start without them, but I figured I'd see what they have... they seemed very willing to give the data.

I made it home...

Got the rail mounted and Loctited, the rings mounted, torqued, lapped, and aligned, the scope mounted, squared, crosshair focused, and ring caps torqued, and the hammer spur installed.

She's range ready...

I didn't really need the hammer spur, but I put it on there anyway... makes decocking a little easier. There was plenty of room for the scope to fit everywhere.

With the zoom set at 1.5 thru about 2.5 I can see the front sight through the scope, but its not bad...its down at the very bottom and out of the way... matter of fact, I think it'll come in handy, it can be used as a reference to make sure I'm lined up and parallax free if I need a precise close up shot.

The scope is awesome... fits nice and isn't too big for the little gun.

I'm gonna start a new thread for the load development.
