The Henry Long Ranger 6.5 Creedmoor stretches the limits of lever action rifles to a whole new distance. In this segment with 22Plinkster, he takes a look at the long-range capabilities.
This Henry Long Ranger rifle has a 22 inch barrel with 1:8 twist rate. Comes with a hammer extender so your finger doesnt slip off of it as you fire. This Long Ranger holds 4 rounds. Sporting a VX3i Leupold target scope with 6.5×20 power to see what youre shooting at. Not exactly the best for hunting, but good enough for target shooting.
22Plinkster is shooting a steel target at 450 yards with 140 grain open tip match ammo. With the rifle tuned in on 200 yards, 22Plinkster would need to aim about 3 inches above the target due to the 30 to 33 inch drop. He first shoots it from the supported bench and tries his hand at free handed from the standing position. See the rest of 6.5 Creedmoor lever action rifle.
Who writes this stuff? Absolutely indecipherable
In other words, about average for 'Am Shooting Journal'.
I always figured they started out in Chinese, but I hadn't considered the auto-translator angle...
