Reached my first goal!

After making some changes, I finally got my SGC shooting point of aim! 25 yrds indoors using a front rest....

Here's what I did.....

From Brownells, I picked up the Lyman Target Sight 17 AUG and Lee Shaver Globe inserts.
This corrected the shooting high, but now it was shooting low! I now adjusted the stock peep stem, raised as high as it would go and still be able to
lock it in with the set screw. This brought my shots up.....but I didn't like being at the end of adjustments.

From Skinner, I ordered the Tall Peep Stem along with the Elevation Locking screw with Finger Knob and the medium .070 Aperture.
After a couple of adjustments.....you can see the results above!

I know I spent a little extra money, but for me, it was definitely worth it!
It looks and shoots exactly how I want it....and isn't that what it's all about!

Now it's time to put the front rest away and try for my second goal......to duplicate that target!

Our Henry SGCs are exceptionally accurate and easy-to-shoot rifles. Sure glad I got one, too.

Great sight-in POIs; good job!
Not to worry...the duplicate target will come. ;)

I have four SGC's and they are the most accurate Henrys in my collection. Looks like yours is really dialed in.
