At the range, constantly having to eject, reload and reseat the Long Ranger's detachable magazine quickly became irritating to our shooters, who generally prefer open top receivers. We would have much preferred highly polished steel parts with luster bluing and a gloss anodized receiver, in the manner of the previously reviewed Henry Lever Octagon .22 WMR Rifle. The oil finish completely fills the wood pores. The site of the Creedmoor range lies in what is now Queens Village, part of New York City’s five boroughs. This item NOT eligible for our “UNDER THE TREE GUARANTEE”. If the results of my limited testing are any indication, this amounts to only 20 percent of what this rifle is capable of. Those out West would find this to be the perfect combo for a truck or scabbard gun, with 3X dealing with close-up or moving targets handily, but also having enough magnification in reserve to reach out to that coyote some distance away. The NRA would hold its annual matches there in the following decades and attract international competitors. The initial caliber offerings are .223 Remington, .243 Winchester and .308 Winchester. But if you hunt the open expanses of our great land, anything under 500 yards is sometimes considered a chip shot. All Rights Reserved.

The Long Ranger can be single loaded, as long as the magazine is in place, by inserting the nose of a fresh cartridge into the chamber and closing the bolt. If your shooting distances are limited to 100 yards or less, as they would be for many whitetail hunts, this is of little concern. If you want to take distance to a new frontier with a gun similar to those that won the West, look no further than the Henry Long Ranger chambered in the impressive 6.5 Creedmoor. With a front locking bolt to control case stretch, it is also just as good for reloaders as a bolt action and much better than an autoloader that throws brass around. There is an external hammer and a traditional style lever. When Henry first introduced the Long Ranger series, it released models in the time-proven calibers of .223 Remington, .243 Winchester, and .308 Winchester; this gave shooters options for everything from varmints to elk. The gun lacks any superfluous safeties, relying on a transfer bar to keep the gun drop safe without adding any unnecessary steps to getting a round off or to interfere with trigger feel. Basically, the proven designs were a one-piece bolt locking against the rear of a heavy steel receiver, as in the Savage 99, or a front locking design with a rotating bolt head, as used in the Winchester Model 88 and Browning BLR. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. The lever must be up, or at least not all the way down, to remove or insert the magazine. And the receiver lockup with a lever gun is usually about as secure as a factory bolt gun’s; this gives them an upper hand when it comes to accuracy potential. The flush mount, all steel, detachable box magazine holds four .308 size cartridges in a staggered column. The pointed bullets and higher pressures of bottleneck cartridges have many advantages when pushing the distance envelope. So, for years, lever guns relied on heavy, flat-nosed projectiles to get the job done. Not only are they easy on the eyes, but they just work well.

Having your long arm share the same ammunition as your wheelgun meant that you only needed to keep one type of ammo on hand. We think a lighter trigger would have resulted in even tighter groups. This item is eligible for our “UNDER THE TREE GUARANTEE”. The flat meplats found on typical lever rounds limit their ballistic qualities; long-distance properties typically suffer because of that and the straight-walled cartridges they occupy. The wood to metal fit is very good and, despite what is says on the Henry RAC website, the barrel of our test rifle is not free floating. But my fears were unfounded; the action was just as smooth as it was on every other Henry I have had the privilege of using. The hammer, lever and magazine bottom plate have a matte finish to match the receiver. Another characteristic of Henrys is that they are just flat-out fun to shoot. This beautifully figured stock is graced with extensive, diamond pattern, wrap around, laser cut checkering on both butt stock and fore-end. I didn’t bother with any match offerings, as 200 yards isn’t a sufficient test of this rifle’s accuracy. It is easy to load. SIG Unveils Custom Works P320 FCU, Dives Into Custom Market. Unlike a semi-auto, however, you never need to worry if your ammo produces enough pressure to cycle the next round. By most contemporary descriptions, the farm already looked like an English “moor,” or a “tract of land preserved for shooting.” As a result, the range was named Creedmoor when it opened on April 25, 1873. The magazine release is a small (about 2/3 the diameter of a dime), flush mounted button in the right side of the receiver. We attributed this mostly to the 4.25 pound trigger pull, although barrel heating could have also been a factor. It also has an Argon/Krypton filled, one-piece, 30mm main tube with a fast focus Euro-style eyepiece, index matched lens system, blackened lens edges, DiamondCoat external lens coatings and 1/4 MOA fingertip adjustments. In fact, the single stage Long Ranger trigger is commendably clean with little over-travel. In my testing, it took 7 to 7.3 pounds of pressure to break the trigger. The laser checkering was done slowly and carefully, without singing the wood. While mention of that name now is sure to bring visions of tennis matches, the English venue originally held shooting contests, with the winner of the signature 1,000-yard event taking home the Wimbledon Cup, a handcrafted tankard comprised of the finest silver. But Burris did just that with the Veracity. Resupply runs were much simpler, especially if the nearest town was a distant outpost that received a limited number of shipments each year.
