My daughter shoots every hand gun she can get her hands on but has never liked shooting rifles.
Well happy days are here now. She was in to visit today and I showed her my latest acquisition. The Henry Small Game Carbine. She likes it, understood the peep sight immediately talked about how light it is, she shouldered it with a nearly proper hold and she wants to shoot it. I know she will like it and soon she will be shooting all my rifles. Hot Darn!

Re: My daughter and rifles
That is something to get happy about and it sounds like she does not like the weight of most rifles.

Re: My daughter and rifles
10-4 on her thinking they are too heavy, but after she sees how fun they are and I have her shoot some of the others from the bench rest, she will forget about weight.62chevy wrote:That is something to get happy about and it sounds like she does not like the weight of most rifles.

Re: My daughter and rifles
That is great. I love shooting with my 2 daughters. Simular to yours their favorite is the M1 Carbine but they also will shoot other rifles off the bench. Both of my girl also have taken concealed carry courses, something I've never done.

Very good, there is actually a lot to like with the Henry products.

Re: My daughter and rifles
I haven't found much fault with the Henry rifle. I was going to get a Rossi Lever Gun, but what I have been reading about their warranty, parts, and service turned me away.Ranch Dog wrote:Very good, there is actually a lot to like with the Henry products.
I got a feeling I will have to be getting Sheila her own Henry 22 Carbine soon. Weight seems to be her biggest concern recoil second. We all know she will work out of that soon. I will probably get the round barreled version that weighs more than a pound less than mine with the hex barrel, plus I will add the Skinner sights.
