Really like both of my SGC. 22LR and 22Mag. Nice shooting Esquared I have yet to put mine on paper but I sure have broke a lot of clay pigeons with them at about 50 yards. 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.......

The 22Mag was tempting, Al, but this SGC, for me, was more about plinking and range work than varmints!BigAl52 wrote:Really like both of my SGC. 22LR and 22Mag. Nice shooting Esquared I have yet to put mine on paper but I sure have broke a lot of clay pigeons with them at about 50 yards. Al

Re: SGC 22LR Dialed In...
Im not shooting vermits with mine right now either. I just bought it because I like the caliber. But in case I took off out of here on a trip I would have one I could use for that. I think I found some armscor 22 mag ammo pretty reasonable on ammoseek. So I bought a couple of bricks. But I get the plinking. Im a plinker also. Im like SH the SGC is the best levergun in 22LR out there right now. Just my opinion.ESquared wrote:The 22Mag was tempting, Al, but this SGC, for me, was more about plinking and range work than varmints!BigAl52 wrote:Really like both of my SGC. 22LR and 22Mag.

Have never tried Armscor, but have seen it plenty on Ammoseek. Have you ever tried it in 22LR?BigAl52 wrote:Im not shooting vermits with mine right now either.

Re: SGC 22LR Dialed In...
I agree 150% with your opinion, BigAL, on the SGC being the best out there.

Re: SGC 22LR Dialed In...
I havent tried it yet. I have so much other 22 ammo I havent had the need to buy anymore. But I wouldnt hesitate to buy some. I have seen it for less than .04 cents a round when you buy 5000.ESquared wrote:Have never tried Armscor, but have seen it plenty on Ammoseek.

Re: SGC 22LR Dialed In...
So a quick question for those of you with “dialed in” SGCs... I haven’t shot mine yet as I just got it on Tuesday, but I’m curious as to whether or not they actually sight them in at all when test firing. I only ask because my Skinner is installed quite a bit to one side, and I would think if they don’t sight them in, they would more or less center the rear sight.

Of course they do ...The crack team of Henry Marksmen painstakingly tune the sighting on each and every Henry Rifle.
