Ahh, I just have to brag. Been wanting a Henry for years. Finally brought one home. .41 mag. Will go well with my NMBH in the same caliber.
First 5 shots, right out of the box. No cleaning or sight adjustments. Wanted to see what was what before messing with anything.
Ammo: Underwood 210gr XTP (this ammo is loaded to +P pressures)
Range: 25yds
Stance: Offhand, no artificial supports
Trigger: Very smooth, clean break, no takeup slack. About 4lbs (est).
Performance: One flier was me, not the gun. Cartridge primers were all hit dead center. No feed or chambering/extraction issues. Action was smooth and positive. Sight picture was easy to acquire even with my aging bifocal eyeballs. Recoil was pleasant, and felt like I could shoot it all day long with no problem. Overall the rifle felt very good.
Next time out will be at 50yds, then 100. I won't be cleaning it until after that, and then back out for some serious practice before Bambi shows up.
I reckon I'll keep it.
