Danny,
I thought my comments might be giving you an idea.
Apparently not.
The Henry is simpler to take apart and reassemble, for a FULLY detailed cleaning.
It does have a one-piece barrel, the Browning has a two-piece barrel.
How many Browning products do you see in gunshops? You'll typically see more Long Rangers (once they get that model fully up to speed) than you'll see BLRs.
That's not because people tend to hang onto them, it's because the BFRs don't sell in much volume. As in low demand.
The Henry barrel is free-floated, which reduces group spread as the barrel heats up, if you fire more than one or two rounds.
Also less susceptible to changes in weather in the field, which can affect the BLR more.
Better trigger on the Henry, different design.
You carry with a "down" hammer on the Henry, keeps tree parts, dust & other gunk from getting into the space between hammer & firing pin when carrying in the wilds.
Minor issue, but crud can get in that space while carrying the BLR on half-cock.
The rest of my commentary deals with Bush's apparent perceived "ethics" difficulties.
What else do you want to know about the Long Ranger?
Denis
