Range Report: .22WMR Winchester and Henry

Post by Sir Henry » Wed May 18, 2016 7:07 pm

I shot these three firearms today. All are .22WMR.
Image

I made this one from a .22LR a couple years ago before Henry started offering them. It was quite the project and I made two. The other one was made from an octagon rifle barrel.

I started at 25 yards with all three. Here is the Winchester on my crude benchrest.

Left: My first five shots of the day. Right: This would have been the best target of the day had I not blown the first shot.

I only shot four rounds with the Mare's Leg at 25 yards.

Left: I know poor shooting for 50 yards benchrest. Right: And it only went downhill.

Left: The Henry did about the same. Right: I made a slight adjustment and shot again.

Last and worst target of the day.

I had a great day even though the shooting wasn't all that great. Saw a few friends at the range who I haven't seen for a couple of years. And I got to shoot a Kentucky Rifle replica.

The few old friends made it a great day at the range. Thanks.

Pokin holes in paper, fresh air, old friends, and some beautiful firearms. I'd take that over my best day at work anytime.
Glad you got out to the range.

That's great shooting, I really like the stock on your Winchester.

Always when I read "I had a great day..." that means a great range report is also coming along.
~~~ Rifles are very cool (agree with Dutch on that Winchester stock -- it absolutely glows!);
~~~ Targets look well beat up;
~~~ Your "crude benchrest" suits me just fine;
~~~ And you didn't forget your coffee cup!! ;)
