I ordered a new Henry, 45-70 with 22 inch octagon barrel, with the loading gate, and brass receiver, has anyone ever shot one of these.. It also weighs 8 lbs, 1 ounce unloaded.
I have the same rifle and experienced the same performance. I load 180gr hardcast for mine and also a great gun at 100yds. I think Henry makes good stuff. I shoot 45-70 in Sharps rifles and Trapdoor, so i have no idea how it would do in a Henry lever 22". I suppose it would be pretty accurate up to 200yds if you loaded for it. I would think the recoil would be significant using something like 325gr Hornadys but would feel great with 405gr trapdoor loads.View attachment 1205571I have a 357 carbine, shoots 1.5 moa @ 50 yds never had a problem absolutely love it and it is fun to shoot
I’m curious as to who makes those scopes? I have see these brass decorated scopes a few times online in photos but no one posted details on who makes them. My nephew asked me about them and I had no info.View attachment 1205571I have a 357 carbine, shoots 1.5 moa @ 50 yds never had a problem absolutely love it and it is fun to shoot
