Any more Long Rangers in the house?
Re: Any more Long Rangers in the house?
Those are most excellent looking rifles . The craftsmanship and the attention to detail is outstandingly evident in both of them. Thanks for posting and I am sure we are all looking forward to a range report.

Re: Any more Long Rangers in the house?
I picked on up a week ago. It is shooting 165 grain ballistic tips and 175 grain ELDX bullets around an inch. Trigger is excellent. Fit and Finish is excellent. I'm very happy with it so far and expect to improve accuracy with some more reloading work. Not that 1" groups need to be improved on. This is my second Henry, Got the 45/70 about 6 months ago and accuracy with it has been excellent as well.

I'm also interested in how they shoot.

Re: Any more Long Rangers in the house?
Really starting to like mine. It is really tightening up after the first 50 rounds. Using 178 grain Hornady ELDX bullets. Is everyone else carefully using a cleaning rod from the muzzle end or using a bore snake? I'm using a rod and trying to be very careful with the crown. Gonna try 150 grain partitions and ballistic tips as well.

Re: Any more Long Rangers in the house?
Still haven't had a chance to get out to the range with mine yet. I'll have some time tomorrow and the weather forecast looks promising as of right now. Will definitely let you know when I get a range report up.
On another note, I had stock watches set up on several websites when I was looking for my 223. I just got an email today from Kentucky Gun Co saying they are in stock. Here is the link if anyone is interested: https://kygunco.com/Product/View?ItemNo=60216
