My New Henry Rifle

[Sibyrnes]

Got myself a new Henry Big Boy in 357. I have wanted one for years and finally made the move. Several years ago I got a good deal on 1000 rounds of Federal .38 Special lead round nose bullets, so I though I would try them out in my new Henry. 30 Yards, seated position(elbows on knees) with Hi Viz sights I installed. Pretty happy with the results:

I think I needed to add another photo:

Nice, she’s a beauty. How’s the large loop?

 

[Fonedork]

Sweet, I have the exact same one

The jury is still out on that. My Win 94 and Henry 22 both have the regular style loop, so that is more what I am used to. The large loop is nice when wearing gloves.

This is the ammo:

Beautiful wood on her!

Nice shooting. I've been very happy with my Big Boy Steel carbine in .38/.357

Very nice. Are you able to use the stock front sight with your Skinner Peep Site?

Yup it works, just barely - I have the Skinner lowered all the way. It's shoots a little high @ 50yds (but not enough to worry about) and is spot-on @ 75 yds.
