Very nice, i really like that henry, and the 338.
How do you like the loading method on the Henry? One of my next purchases will be a 44 mag lever action and I love the way that Henry looks, I'm just not crazy about the tube fed system. I'm really sit on a Marlin 1894 myself.

I love the look, feel and shooting of the Henrys but not crazy about the tube. It works out ok but 4 rounds isnt alot before reloading.

I concur on the Henry. Wish it had the huge loop like in those western movies. I bought the same one you did, but I did 44 mag so it matched my wheel guns.

Nice collection. Who's range?

It's apples and oranges. Takes like a half second to single load the Henry or 5 seconds to load the tube; but not as intuitive as the side feed of Marlin. But the quality is different (as is the price). The Henry you won't even need to dial in - just perfect right out of the factory. My Marlin is what it is - a reasonably priced lever action you don't mind taking in the woods and scratching up. So far I have a Marlin 336CS in 35 Remington and an 1894 in 45-70 and neither has ever broken down. The Henry is more of a safe queen you will leave to your son in your will.
My range.
Its 100 yards on the right
300 far left
And 400 in the middle which yoy can barely see.
Also have 25 and 50 yard further to the right.
Nice!
Thanks.

I love your range table. I went all ghetto and just did Lowes tables. ;-( I wish I did something more like you did so that there would be less vibration when I move. Also pondered concrete and gravel but did it more on the cheap. I wonder if it's too late now to pour concrete around it? And have the concrete settle in below the first floor?

Range table? That's a Cheektowaga deer stand.
I bought it frim a range that vlosed close by. I just moved it in big chunks and used reclaimed barn wood to fill it in. Two levels, one ground level and one elevatwd 15 feet. Ill get better pictures of it tomorrow.I love your range table.

Did you do concrete? I only did my post hold digger down 5 feet; then went with 6"x6" from Lowes (pressure treated). I pondered gravel and cement pad but then got sticker shock when I called the local cement people. If nobody is jumping around it's perfectly calm; but if someone is walking around on the second floor and I'm shooting on the first, I can see that through the glass. Kind of annoying. How many yards did you do?
Two bags of Quickrete in holes with 4x4s just to keep in place and firm. It kinda got out of control with adding on here and there. As you can see its starting to look pretty ratty. All the benches were built when I brought it there 16 years ago. I just built the floor and pieced it together. It is very sturdy but looks crazy.
The big pillars you see go to the ground but not into the ground.
i am so jealous of that setup!
Yes, very nice facility indeed. I would kove to have my own property to shoot on.

That really is a nice set up. I need to build a nice shooting bench myself, and seeing this thread motivates me to get to it.
