Successful moose shooting with Henry 22LR

Post by t.r. »

I shot this moose 20 times with my Henry levergun at 50 yards. No tracking at all. :D

Magazine and calendar pictures are great fun for plinking!

Some of those shots look like they would been lethal.

Look at the size of those entrance-wounds - they must be six inches in diameter...!

You need to re-think your ammo selection. That moose is still standing!

I like the fact that the Henry is an American made product in the heart of anti gun country, NYC., that I bought 1 for the grandson. Might let him shoot it sometime :P

I bought a used Henry at Cabelas just like the picture above, minus the scope. It shoots great and is more fun to take to the range than any other rifle I have. The Henry IS AMERICAN MADE and a great product. Any other rifle I buy will be a Henry. Would love to get the big boy in 357 mag.
