The Winchester is great for what it is. I just needed a good 22 plinker because it was getting way too expensive to shoot my other rifles just for fun, and I like to shoot for fun! It has a picatinny rail molded into the top of the receiver, and Skinner style peep sights, which I prefer, instead...
Just picked up a Tasco ProPoint, model# TRD130T, for $32.50 at Walmart in Easton MD. It’s a 1x30 tube style, red 5 MOA dot, and comes with very nice mounting hardware, battery and lens covers. The dot is very round and very sharp. It has 11 brightness levels and the control is very functional...
I was sorry to see Family Meal close. My wife and I loved the restaurant. Even after we moved from Frederick to Kent Island a few years ago, we would always stop there every time we were in Frederick. I thought the prices were fair, staff were always friendly and helpful. Food was always great...
Just purchased a Hawke Vantage red dot - model 12 104 (30 mm). This is my first red dot, and so far I’m very happy with it. Have used it on my Henry 44 mag and my Henry 22 mag levers. Paid a little over $100 for it new. Very wide and clear field of view, red dot stays sharp and well defined even...
I need to put an Optic on my Henry 44mag rifle. I want to go with a modern optic system, as opposed to a traditional style scope, because I see myself using this as a 100 yard or less hunting rifle, or a much shorter range personal defense gun. I have older eyes with a slight astigmatism. The...
Just wanted to post a follow up. At least one person wanted to know how this came out. Both sets of sights came in this weekend (Skinner and HI VIZ). I installed them and went to the range. Both sights are compatible with either rifle. I wound up putting the Skinner on the Henry Golden Boy 22...
Thanks for all the great input. Just ordered a Skinner from their website. Also ordered a Hi Viz from through the Henry website. Both sights are compatible with both my Henry rifles. Might have them by the weekend. Can't wait to try them out.
Thank you to all the responders for the great info! I was already looking at the Skinner sights but it was good to hear some endorsements that didn't come from a dealers website. Thanks 'dink' for the long detailed response, a lot of helpful info. I'll probably start with a Skinner and see how...
Hello, new member here.
I recently purchased a Henry lever action chambered for 44 mag. It has the standard Henry semi-buckhorn sights. After several sessions at the range, these sights just don’t seem to be working for me. I’m 67 years old, and although my eyes are not bad for my age, I don’t...
