Side-Loader Woes
Side-Loader Woes
Hi all,
I've got a video review of a brand new side-loading rifle (H024-35) coming out soon. The review was going great right up to the point where I started shooting. The first thing I noticed is the sights were WAY off. As in about 10" low and 7 aches right from a distance of 50 yards. I had to move the elevator to the next to the last notch to get the proper elevation for that distance. The next issue was the accuracy which was less than stunning (4" give or take at 50 yards). Lastly, the rifle was routinely (but not every time) failing to eject the fired case. I used 2 different types of factory ammunition (Hornady and Remington). Has anyone else experienced problems with these rifles, or did I just get a Friday afternoon gun?

Re: Side-Loader Woes
that doesn't sound anywhere near normal .... if it was in my hands I'd contact Henry .... in your review covering where it is and adding Henry's customer service along with how it preforms when they get through with it might help tell the full story

Henry will make it right. Can’t wait for the video and like JEBar said include the Henry customer service.

I'm already planning an update. I suspect this is just an anomaly and not representative of the entire line. I was just curious what others have experienced.

Henry had to put a couple of barrels on my BBS but there CS came through with a good one. If you have a bore cam you take a look. Looking forward to the video.
