Checking in with my first Henry... a Long Ranger in 6.5 CM
Hoping to add a .357 CCH in my near future!

Welcome from California.
I'm jelouse, 6.5 Creedmoore is a pretty definitive cartridge.
If you don't mind, what lead you to a Henry Long Ranger for that particular cartridge?

Welcome to the HRF! Spot-on choices, 1911LVR, with your first Henry being a Long Ranger in 6.5 Creedmoor caliber. Hornady engineers did a super job creating the current version of a caliber that has a lot of history behind it. My SIL uses it to shoot long-distance competition and says it's the best he's ever used.
Here is a short historical article on your ammo choice, in case you missed it in the "Shooting Illustrated" publication:

Looking forward to any Range Reports you might have for us. Enjoy!

Been wanting a Henry and also wanting a Creedmoor since shooting my friends HOWA, so the combo came together as a Xmas gift from the Mrs. I picked it out, she paid for it.

Nice are there many places to shoot in your area without seeking out a regular range. Seems to me I hear of alot of people shooting out in the desert down that way.

Two official ranges are close, one public and one private, but both are an hour away from me. Lots of open desert around though!
