Thread: Interesting rimfire models: your reviews, pics, comments

I did like you said and tried that lever action.
Henry golden boy. mostly for the novelty, but short range around the house. I figured 100 yards is easy for 17hmr.
I got 17hmr because I have one already, same ammo flat shooting which should help being iron sights.
there are plenty of "they are not accurate" comments on this forum.
this is not my typical type of rifle I choose, I like big scopes bipods etc, I like to win.

so first thing I notice is, I didnt expect iron sights to be such hard work...mostly down to my aging eyes. but to be fair it grouped fairly well when I used a sand bag and close enough for my eyes to cope.
I figured this is hard I will get a mount and put a scope on it...

in the mean time I done my best on target, then tried on rabbits. first too shots, two dead rabbits, it worked fairly well.
I put this down to close range, flat shooting cartridge.

the scope mount turned up... but the stock is going to be too low for a scope in an ideal world.
I came to the conclusion a scope would be bulky, and the idea was not to be bulky but handy, somewhat light, it works well at short distance, and the whole concept of the rifle makes me smile, so its staying how it is. it does the job it was designed for, no issues. if I want better I will take another rifle out.
