Readying the Henry H00T1 Lever Action Octagon ~ Frontier Model 22

LASERLYTE GREEN LASER IN THE H00T1 OCTAGON BARREL

I'm happy to report that Henry Repeating Arms sent me their H00T1 Lever Action Octagon ~ Frontier Model 22 last week to field test. I was hoping to get the rifle to the range this weekend, but since there's been nothing but rain and sleet today, I figured there's no way the state range would be open this weekend. Instead, I spent some time today putting my LaserLyte green laser on the 22 and checking the sights to get the rifle 'on paper'. I was surprised to discover that the sights were right on the money, which I haven't found to be the norm. I then gave the barrel a good cleaning and took a few photos for this post. Tomorrow I'll lock in some range time for next weekend, though I will be out pheasant hunting again Saturday morning. Check back Sunday afternoon to see how I made out in the field and at the range.

"...new shooters enter the sport via the 22 caliber. By making 22 caliber ammo scarce, you are hurting your own sport"

One last thought. I was as Walmart today and could not find a single brick of 22 ammo. First we had the shelves emptied of centerfire ammo. Now that centerfire is plentiful in my area, 22 ammo is scarce. This is the first time I can ever remember this happening. I realize that people are shooting 22's more than they were due to the increase in ammo prices, but they're not shooting THAT much! The biggest gunshop in the state was literally cleaned out last week, and this is a store that always has cases of every kind of 22 ammo that you can imagine. It's obvious that people are hording again. If that includes you, realize the problem that you are creating. Manufacturers are cranking out ammo 24/7, so there's no reason for a shortage. Some of us would like to hunt and shoot, and new shooters enter the sport via the 22 caliber. By making 22 caliber ammo scarce, you are hurting your own sport and making it difficult for new shooters to enter the sport. These are people you and the NRA badly need to save the shooting sports in America. Give us all a break and STOP HORDING AMMO! Thank you.

NOTE THAT HENRY HAS MOVED FROM BROOKLYN NY TO BAYONNE, NJ
