Re: Good Henry Service Experience - so far

Joe,
+1 on the octagon barreled models. I own a H0001T and I absolutely love it. I have about 1500 rounds through mine and it seems to be getting more accurate all the time. Shotgun shells are no trouble at 40 yards if I do my part. :D

From what I understand the 168s work well at least to 600 yds. ....actually much further. The shooters who favor heavier bullets either want more energy and/or less wind drift.
