New Henry with 24" barrel
Any feed back?
Found a nice Marlin 39AS, nice shape, heavy barrel, which I like, pistol grip, matches up with the Winchester 94 I use for Big Bore. Got the trigger to not "boink" and is about 3 lbs and crisp.
Stock fits "Kinda Funny" to my face, but....
Every time I pick up my Henry, it screams "this is how it should feel"
Wondering how the longer barreled Henry's are working out.
Thanks

Re: New Henry with 24" barrel
have not got mine set up for matches yet ( waiting on front sights )
ammo testing with scope mounted this past week shows promise , dime size 5 shot groups at 50yds and a preference for wolf and 22 mag loves cci maxi mags and hornady 45gr
polished trigger and action along with spring change have netted a crisp 2lb break

Wife LOVES hers.... 22 and 22mag. Bore scope barrels when new and now with a couple bricks through them. They look good and are shooting very well. Mag really likes CCI maxi Mag TMJ and the LR show a preference to standard velocity ammo. Real easy to get a clean sub 2# trigger.

Re: New Henry with 24" barrel
Any hints on the trigger? Mine is about 4lbs, pretty crisp. Being a SR shooter for many years a 4lb is what I'm use to, but less is better
thanks

Re: New Henry with 24" barrel
Mine is 2.4lbs. Excellent trigger. Henry tuned up the action for me when I sent it back for a rebarrel and it's devastatingly accurate now.ChuckD wrote:Any hints on the trigger? Mine is about 4lbs, pretty crisp. Being a SR shooter for many years a 4lb is what I'm use to, but less is better

Re: New Henry with 24" barrel
Yeah because that's not your group. I decided to show a full five shot group and not four a shot group "and we all know where the fifth shot would have went". hahahahahadhatch wrote:Dodaddy. You failed to mention that I shot that group for you.

Re: New Henry with 24" barrel
What front and rear sight are folks putting this new Henry? Prefer Williams fool proof if it can be fitted to the rifle and a Steve Baldwin front sight.

I used the Williams Fool Proof with target knobs, extended elevation screw, Merit disc, 17AUG, and Sullivan fiber optic sight.40-65rl wrote:What front and rear sight are folks putting this new Henry? Prefer Williams fool proof if it can be fitted to the rifle and a Steve Baldwin front sight.
