Mr. Longbeard

just a quick range session with the Henry big boy steel 44 mag... First off trigger pull 5lbs 😏... Shot 3 shots at 50 yards with iron sights.. My leupold VX2 1-4x20 will be here next week... Anyhow shot 3 shots with American eagle 240gr hp and group as low left about 4"... Had a hard time picking bullseye up in sights... Then moved target closer to 25 and shot my reloads (22.8gr H110 Hornady 240gr XTP) 3 shots in a clover leaf low left... That's it not going to shoot anymore till scope is mounted... Gun rely good I just realized my eyes ain't worth a dang with iron sights... Scope should cut that groups in half I would think

I hear ya. I am hoping after I get my cataracts removed and have the lenses implanted I will be able to use iron sights again.

Learned that same lesson quite a few years ago. I can still shoot handguns well unscoped for defense since I have shot instinctive for most of my life but my HUNTING handguns are scoped except for the 2 .45 Colts...But I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from the INSIDE with a rifle open sites anymore.

Hope that Henry works out for you.

Put a rear peep sight on there.

Those buck horn sights suck no matter what they are on.
