I wanted to buy a lever action repeater since right after I bought my first gun few years back. Didn't know much about lever action, didn't know what caliber to pick (I love big caliber), and I focused so much on milsurp so I put this idea aside.
Then I purchased my first .22 a year back and discovered the fun of shooting rim fire cartridge. I started some research but still I didn't look into a lever action seriously.
Until last month I spotted a Henry .22 large loop. This little carbine is very affordable. The walnut stock on the stock photo is gorgeous. Then I searched on google to see if everybody's Henry has such beautiful wood. It turned out not all are as gorgeous but not too far. Barrel length is 16 1/8” , weight is a little more than 5 pounds. Ordered it last week. Took it from Volko yesterday then drove the Brookhaven. Action is very smooth. I didn't do well with the open sight shooting the Remington bucket pack hallow point ammo. But once I put the scope on, most of the bullets hit on the red at 50-yard. A very fun gun to shoot. And it's beautiful too. The Nikon Buckmasters is disproportionate to the carbine obviously. I makes the carbine a lot heavier too. But that was the scope I had yesterday. I have another two scopes in a storage box at home. Maybe I'll try them out next time. But... after using the Buckmasters for quite some time, how can you go back to a cheap scope?
