Henry Carbine

A new toy. Actually I can't lay claim to this one too much. I bought this for my girlfriend for Valentines Day. The hell with roses, we'll shoot them <G>.

Info from the web-site:

"Made in America, and Priced Right!", is the motto for the Henry Repeating Arms Company, named after its founder, B. Tyler Henry, forefather of the firearms industry. The Henry Lever Action .22 is a classic western-style lever action. It features an extremely attractive American walnut stock, the quality of which can only be found on guns four times the price. The action is exceptionally smooth - so smooth you will not believe it. The Henry Lever Action .22 also features side ejection, an adjustable rear sight, a hooded front sight and the receiver is grooved for a scope mount. The blued steel barrel features state of the art multiple groove rifling, making the Henry Lever Action .22 extremely accurate. Every single part in the Henry Lever Action is made in the U.S.A. The barrel length is 18 1/4", the overall length is 36 1/2", and it weighs only 5.5 pounds. The magazine capacity is 15 rounds in .22 Long Rifle, 17 rounds in .22 Long, and 21 rounds in .22 Short. The best feature of the Henry Lever Action .22 is the affordable price. Suggested retail is only $249.95, about half the price of the competition.
The Henry Repeating Arms Company is proud to introduce two new versions of its popular Henry Lever Action .22. The Henry Lever Carbine .22 features a large loop lever and an overall length of 34". The large loop lever is great for those with large hands, or when wearing gloves, or if you simply love its real western flavor. The Henry Lever Youth Model .22 is ideal for youngsters, and features a compact overall length of only 33" and a pull of 13".

A note or two from me.
From the description I was expecting a 15 round capacity. Chalk it up to a misunderstanding on the way it's described. The full length version of the 22 probably holds 15 but the carbine is shorter so it's not tooooo much of a surprise that it only holds 13. Other than that it's a very easy little rifle to shoot. Perfect for my girlfriend.

I ordered some speed loaders from CheaperThanDirt (look up item number ZWN-182) that seem to do exactly what I'd like them to do and aren't too expensive, we'll see how they work out.

Sarah didn't like the stock sights so I put a little ol' 2x scope on it for her to see if that works out. I may have to go to a full length scope to make it easier. Is it really that difficult to design a scope with variable eye relief?

Where did you want to be today?
