It might help accuracy with the 50gr if Henry would tighten up the 1/16 twist a little. Ruger does 1/14 twist on the 22WMR, and they typically shoot the 50gr very well. Enjoyed the follow-up, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! I plan on scoping this rifle and doing another ammo test here soon. I figure with a scope I will be able to finally figure out which ammo it likes best.
I'm glad to hear Henry took care of you, & am looking forward to the next follow-up. FWIW I watched (tried to watch 😅) this while women's beach volleyball was on, Brazil vs Canada in the Gold Medal match.
Thanks James! I have the scope i want to use on another rifle that I plan on doing a video with here soon. After that I'm switching it to the Henry and will test some different ammo through it. Hoping I can tighten those groups up.
Yes, that is frustrating. But, Henry did fix the rifle, whatever the problem was, and got it back to you quickly. No keyholes! I think you need to try another ammo weight just for more data. The new cardboard was an excellent idea. I see that at my range, trying to teach a new shooter in that little NRA bullseye target, and not being able to track the misses. At this point, all you can hope for is consistency so you can diagnose the problem. Thanks for taking us along. BTW I'm doing a 10/22 project for a friend. That's kind of fun for both of us.
Thanks Frank! Anytime I get a large box or any other big piece of cardboard, I stash it in the garage. Makes it a whole lot easier to put up targets on the palate. What kind of 10/22? Target? Take-down? The 10/22 is the most customizable 22lr on the market. And has been for decades. The next step for me will be putting a scope on the Henry and like you suggested, try a few different loads. Hopefully I can find one that it likes!
@@texmexshoots A 1980s base model. New Adaptive Tactical RM4 Ruger 10/22 Stock, BX trigger, recoil buffer and "slingshot" bolt release from Volquartsen. I've already done the upgraded magizine release. The stock bolt release is Code 3 super annoying! For what she wants I don't need a new barrel. Maybe... a red dot(?) BTW I forwarded your videos about the night vision scope on to a friend. He was super impressed that you could video through the scope, and that it was a mid-range investment.
@@frankhinkle5772 I was impressed with the scope. I honestly hadn't realized that quality of night vision was accessible at that price. Sounds like it is going to be a nice 10/22. I think I have an extra BMX trigger. I think my LVT came with one and I swapped it out for the KIDD. That KIDD trigger is amazing but basically doubles the cost of the rifle.
I thought it was going to end on the first night, but then I got some next day footage too. I had the hardest time getting my Skinner peep on my Rossi 357 mag sighted in, but that is my problem from not being used to a peep sight I assume. I did finally get it sighted in. My issue was more the ammo than the sight. That's the ammo that was key holing and blowing primers out. Oh, I just put a scope on my Henry H001 22 LR in preparation for the Captain America Challenge. I don't plan on leaving it on there but with my eyes you never know. Thanks for the update and looking forward to the next one.
I’ve tried rear hiviz sights and found they don’t work at all for me. As long as there is light the fronts give you a great sight picture no matter the light angle.
Thanks for watching swamp donkey! I see your point. I do prefer a brighter front sight. Usually helps me with my aim. But it wasn't as much of an issue when I was younger.
@@texmexshoots even when younger side lighting makes it tough windagewise when the light is low and hitting one side of the front sight. All my iron sighted firearms wear the front hiviz and i swear by them. I hate to scope a levergun, kinda takes away from the slim carry and handiness.
