Henry Long Ranger

Yes, 2x7 is proper. Maybe even a fixed 4. Oh and no never used one, however yes beautiful gun.

I see the Browning BLR for a few dollars more but the trigger going for a ride with the lever bugs me, plus all the reviews seem to like the Long Ranger over the BLR..

The customer service are great with both...

I'm set on the H014S-308..if you can talk me out of iron sights, please do..

The Browning is a real meat and potatoes reliable rifle design. All the bugs have been wrung out over the years. Solid choice IMO.

Having said that I would take a real hard look at the Henry. It looks like a solid design and comes in some flat shooting calibers. Henry has a good rep for making things right if one of their rifle sheets the bed.

The Browning's actions are slick as snot and the rifles are pretty damn accurate for a lever rifle. The lever/trigger allows for wearing gloves and won't get caught in the arch area. Fast follow up shots are possible. I've had a chance to shoot a 270 and 22-250.
Instant gun lust.

I could go either way on this, but partial to the Browning.

Golf,
I just added 308 to my reloading capabilities. Specifically to shoot heavy lead bullets at 1500-1700 fps. Should answer the recoil issue.
We just finished the 30-06 program with great success. Now the '03 and '03A3 shoot all day without shoulder spasms. Not good for the gas operated Garands though.

Got to love that soar shoulder ...of course, I think rubbing it makes it all better

I've loaded a few for my AR308. Surprisingly the few I loaded did pretty well

That Garand has had my eye for years. I just can't justify it..like that's a reason

My son and I spent a few hours in the Mojave this morning dialing in the scope on his new Long Ranger. It seems to like the larger 165-175 bullets with a heavy charge of Varget and 4064. We kept getting spots of rain and it kind of threw me off.

After a couple shots the lever really smoothed out. I had a problem with one of the extra magazines that I bought. Called Henry and they're sending me out a new one.
