Henry Rifle Forums

I haven’t shot in a long time this past winter. It’s hard to get in the mood when it’s minus thirty and the wind is howling. The Brewer game starts soon so I went out and got a few rounds off. I chose the single shot Model 68.

Love those older .22 rifles.

There’s a certain rhythm shooting them that makes them fun and accurate.

I have a couple of those pull-to-cock rifles, and it does get you a little more focused on the round in the chamber. Both of mine have exceedingly long trigger pulls too, so that surprise break really is a surprise.

Range reports from forty = spring!

Range reports from Sir Henry = SPRING!

Back to winter today.

Great to see a range report from way out yonder in the Northwest! Very nice bolt action 22 shooter too! We are in Summer weather this week with highs in the mid 80's and high pollen count too. Hoping I can get out next week as it supposed to be 60's again with rain coming up on Easter Sunday.
I have a VERY special handgun to try out too....birthday present to myself!

That’s a good looking old rifle Gene. I do look through the vintage guns at local shops. Still haven’t found one that is in good enough shape to bring home.
