Hey everyone,
Just picked up my first Henry and first lever action.
Henry Long Ranger 223.
Not new to firearms. Background in research, fabrication, reverse engineering, etc.
I'll post my questions soon.
Thanks
David
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Re: New member 1st Henry
Greetings from the Show-Me-State, David.
That Long Ranger .223 is a very nice start to your Henry rifle collection.
Glad to have you join the Forum.
P.S. Adding this edit. I'm certain you have probably watched the "Henry TV" video produced last year on your model Henry. It was one of my favorites as 2017 was an exciting year during which Henry released so many new model rifles and shotguns. Anyway, here is that link. Sure did like the final group shot for this accuracy demo. Cool
rifle!

Re: New member 1st Henry
Thanks for the video link.
Looking forward to conversations here.
I chose the Henry over the BLR due to the BLR being more complicated and having a slow twist rate. The Henry has a slower twist rate than I like but not many other choices.
I'll post thoughts and range reports as I go.
Again, thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
As far as the video, I know it was "informal" and all that, but to me the range session was pretty useless, other to confirm the rifle is reasonably accurate, which I think we already suspected. To me, after the 3rd shot, the story is about to be told. But that is where this story ended.
How many groups have I ruined with the 4th or 5th shot
Beautiful rifle in any case, for sure.............
