Henry Rifle Forums

Wanted speed and accurate out of my 44 mares legs. I put a Marbles bullseye sight on it left the front as is. After a few hundred rounds of practice. Today I said good enough. I use a trigger stick standing and put five rounds HMS 305gr Bear load into a 1 1/2" group 25yds with three holes touching in under one minuet,about 40 seconds.Bear season opens back up sept. first.

I hope the bears are ready for what's coming at them.....LOL

We need pictures!

Not smart enough for that yet,techno challenged. Heck I shoot lever action rifle and single action pistols.

I am guessing that speed and accuracy would be essential when facing down a bear.
Good luck and stay safe up there in big critter country.

I guess I just don't get the mares leg, why?

having taken black bears with two different Ruger 44 mag revolvers, I certainly agree that accuracy is a prime concern .... but then that's pretty much the same with all big game .... speed helps and at times can be critical

Hey seak89 - did you really hunt Alaskan brown bear with a 44 mares leg?

Wow! I almost feel sorry for the bears! (Almost, but not quite!! )

I still do and also use my Talo Ruger SBH 3 3/4" 44mag. My Henry and Ruger both like the HMS 305gr bear loads,very accurate.
