  • Lever-action rifles aren't typically chambered in full-powered rifle cartridges like 308 Win, but the Henry Long Ranger isn't your typical lever-action rifle.

    For hunting rifle I see no need for extended mags. I much rather have that flush mag for ease of carry.

    • @MegaAppleshit
      @MegaAppleshit 10 місяців тому +4

      Well you can use the flush mag if you want, but they should still have larger mags available. Personally, if something has detachable mags and you can't get mags of at least 10 rounds, I would rather have a hinged floorplate because there is little point to the detachable mag. It is just one other thing to get dropped in the woods. Replacements are always stupidly overpriced too.

    I love my Henry long ranger in 308. It’s a target rifle for me and though the recoil is manageable I had the barrel threaded for a muzzle brake for faster follow ups. Time to go slap some steel.

    For some reason this would be a little cooler if it were 16”. Also just noticed that the Tikka Arctic 308 is gone, that was on my radar as well. When are you gonna do a live chat, shoot the sh?& about the WWSD carbine, the lefties etc.

    I like it...The mag feed needs a redesign...maybe a short action that does not go as far down so a longer mag would be possible. An 8 or 10 round mag would be fantastic imo.

    I've watched several review videos. It seems that the action is kind of stiff and clunky
    especially when ejecting the spent cartridge. Looks like ejecting is almost a two stage deal.
    lever goes about 1/2 way and stops or at least slows down and then continues the rest of the way.
    Anyone with a Long Ranger notice this? I have two Henry's, a golden boy, and a 22mag version. The action on them is smooth as can be.

    How soon you Soyboys forget about the 45-70 Govt - not quite a "Revolver Cartridge" is it? I guess that's par for the course from folks that don't like that kind of recoil and need a Salon Pas after a shooting session. Oh, and I own Henry Rifles - have for 20+ years, to include the 45-70 Govt, Henry Big Boys in .45 LC / .44 Mag/.357 Mag - as well as the Big Boy X Model...in any case - Jim must appeal to the softer side listening to his comments about the weight etc.

    terrible review. The rifle weighs 7lbs and you're comparing it to a 9.5lb Garand? The checkering is laser cut, not pressed. Lazy, lazy, lazy.

      Get over yourself buddy nobody gives a fuck whether you watch or share or if you even get up tomorrow morning or not. Maybe if you didn’t have the attention span of an ant you would have heard him say kind of like an M1 Garand but not quite so heavy. There’s nothing wrong with that statement, all the man was saying is that it’s a solidly built rifle that has some heft but not so much heft like the 9.5lb Garand. If anybody is lazy here it’s the guy who doesn’t bother to listen and understand before they start talking shit and passing judgement on others.
