[QUOTE="Roadking Larry, post: 1453484, member: 2833"] Spent a couple of "quality" hours sighting in and shooting this afternoon. The Weaver 1-3X20 works well and fits nicely on the Henry rifle. Shot 3 types of ammo, Federal bulk,36 gr, CCI mini mags 40 gr, some Remington hyper velocity 33 gr. Best group was with the CCI 40 gr load. but all were acceptable and about what I expect from a improvised rest. When we get some better weather I'll set up my good bench and rest. Right now I wouldn't hesitate to go after squirrel or rabbit out to reasonable .22 range with any of the loads I tried. I also shot a few mags of CCI shorts they also printed a decent group. The Henry rifle is fun to shoot. It functioned 100% with every load I tried. Fit and finish on the gun are above average, the walnut stock has a great finish and stock and forearm feel great in the hand. The only downer is the front barrel band/sight mount. While the plastic is perfectly functional it kind of cheapens the overall package. Bottom line is that I am very happy with rifle and scope combo and would buy another Henry in a heartbeat, same for the Weaver scope. [/QUOTE]
