Just back from the range with four loads (three bullet weights).
31 degrees, total greyout, hazy.
The two best 100-yard 3-shot groups were a 150 at 7/16 of an inch & 1 inch even with a 178.
Leupold scope on it.
The gun can shoot.

Re: 2016 Henry .223, .243, .308 Levergun
Does it cycle smoothly, say as nicely as a well used Marlin? How's the trigger? Is there enough drop in the stock it would work with open sights, or is this one of those "scope only" stock configurations?DPris wrote:Just back from the range...
Re: 2016 Henry .223, .243, .308 Levergun
The mainspring was a little strong on this sample, which means it takes a little more effort to start the action cycling.
That's under discussion at Henry & will probably be lightened a bit, depending on how far they can take it without compromising ignition.
Once past the first 3/4 inch or so of bolt travel, getting the hammer cocked & the bolt off it, very smooth.
Clean trigger, 6 pounds.
That may go lower.
Bearing in mind that this is early, right now no sights.
Stock is angled for glass.
Discussions on-going at Henry about the possibility of an iron-sighted version, which would involve a different stock angle.
The emphasis is on long-range accuracy & that means a scope, at least starting out.

I take it there's a NDA against posting photos.
Boooo.

Nope, but there IS a thing about a techno-challenged forum member who doesn't know how & is too scared of the idea to learn.

Yeah, but not intentionally.
I've asked if I can forward a Henry-supplied image I have, no response yet.
I'll see what the answer is, but it's not a very clear image.

Henry's re-doing their photos of the rifle, supposed to be re-sending one shortly, time-frame unknown.
And, in case you get looking for the gun, word this morning is that its name has reverted back to The Henry Long Range Lever-Action Rifle.

Found this image today
Re: 2016 Henry .223, .243, .308 Levergun
Wow, that looks more sawn off than I guessed it would. Nice, slender taper, though. I do hope they offer a proper 24" barrel for it.
Re: 2016 Henry .223, .243, .308 Levergun
The LRLAR? Odd name.....
I wouldn't mind trying out one with irons and a scope option.

Thanks for the photo, saw some advertised for 809$ retail maybe that means 600-650$ wholesale. danny
Re: 2016 Henry .223, .243, .308 Levergun
HHmMmm , stick a front sight on it and drill it for a Lyman / Williams style receiver sight ....

Re: 2016 Henry .223, .243, .308 Levergun
That's most likely the barrel length they'll stick with.
It handles quite well as it sits.
A sighted version with a different stock angle may be on the horizon.
