I love my three Henrys but they will have a difficult road to hoe to prove they are the equal of a BLR.
Does this .405 Winchester make my butt look big?

Needs iron sights IMO. Lever guns just don't look right without em.
Some people are educated beyond their intelligence.

Since they opted out on irons, a sensible thing would have been to have picatinny style slots milled into the receiver to accommodate weaver style, Z style, or pic style rings, or most of the red-dot and prismatic type sights.

If I want a gun that looks like a BLR, guess what I'll buy?
As for the long range thing, I shoot my Savage 99's to 800 yards. Are they implying theirs is better than a 99? I hope not.

Yeah, that's it, they are implying its better than everything. It's a hell of a lot better than a new Savage 99, that's for certain.

Looks like it's full of gears just like the Browning, that and being aluminum are two too many strikes for me. I've ginned up a strong dislike for gear guns being a Browning service center gunsmith.
But it's made in the US so I wish them well.

If it is made of gears, it's a pass.

Curious to know what the actual sticker price will be. The Henry Big Boy steel I had in .357 was smooth and very accurate. Would love to have one of these in a 6.5 Creedmoor or 7mm-08. ![[Linked Image]](http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c365/wheeler_/Henrys-Long-Ranger-brings-lever-gun-reliability-to-long-range-accuracy-with-chamberings-in-_223-_243-and-_308-1024x681_zpsy6xttczj.jpg)

I like the idea of a lever-action .223 as a utility rifle for around the farm, particularly an American-made one. Be interested in seeing what the actual retail price will be.

MSRP is $1014.95, street price probably between $850-$900.

Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.
