It's here..... The Henry single shot in .308 that I've wanted ever since they came out. Nobody around here could get one and places like Cabela's were always showing them as backordered. Was in the local Runnings home, farm,and outdoor center on Dec. 24th talking to the head guy in Sporting Goods. He checked their computer system and said he could have one here in 2 or 3 weeks. I put a down payment on it right then. They called me Jan. 7th and said it's here; I picked it up Jan. 8th.. Haven't even fired it yet but it's a nice, light, easy handling piece. Only complaint is the seven plus pound trigger but I already knew about those triggers from internet comments that I've seen on forums.
View attachment 820991 The game plan is to load some 150 gr. bullets to a mild 25 or 2600 hundred something velocity over the chrono ( no hot rodding ) and enjoy the single shot experience. They come drilled & tapped so now a scope has to be selected and I hope someone will soon introduce a synthetic or laminated stock for these. The wood that it comes with is so nice that I don't want to see the scratches & dents that always show up on hunting rifles. This one's gonna go hunting !
