Henry Long Ranger or Browning BLR

[Just Plain Bill]

On a good day for me, I can shoot honest 5 shot 1" groups with Federal Premium 168 gr. ammunition. The rifle may be more accurate with handloads. And I'm an old guy whose vision isn't what it once was. In general, I'm happy with myself if I shoot under 1.5". The rifle is probably more accurate than I am.

I don't own either of them, but...

I like the Belgian BLRs with the oiled stocks more than the lacquered Japanese look of the later models. I'd probably rather climb into a stand with something that isn't a collector's item. The Henry seems like a winner, but it can be difficult to find them in stock.

I see this Henry Long Ranger thing that looks like a browning BLR advertised on the latest G&A magazine.

I have owned both. And both in .308. The Browning is still here. Bought new in ‘78.

Edit: The Henry just wasn’t as smooth as my Browning..
