if we were in the market for a Henry Long Ranger, the 308 would be our caliber of choice .... really looking forward to hearing reports from folks who buy and use them

I'm with you there. It would be a nice companion to my Ruger American Ranch rifle.

I finally found the load that works in mine, hornady 165 gr btsp Winchester brass,cci 200 primer and 45 gr of varget. Best 5 shot group is .930. With a clean barrel it starts out at 2 inches after about 10 shots it really tightens up.

I saw one at Cabela's yesterday. My honest first impressions on seeing one in person? It looked:

1. Short
2. Plain

To be fair, I didn't ask to handle it, as the sales people were very busy. It did look well-made, as I would expect from a Henry rifle. Would I buy one? Yes, I could see owning one.

Price at Cabela's is a bit high, too. I suspect, though, that when other stores get them, they'll cost less.

Seems like Cabelas got the first run. I don't live anywhere near one though.

I go right past the one in Hamburg, Pa. about once a month. I have dropped a lot of money there in the past and I like to eat at their deli and look at all their mounts and wildlife displays. Next time I might just stop on the way back and see what one of those new Henry's look like. But, I am not going to buy one.
