The Henry Long Ranger is a reminder that the lever action rifle platform is still alive and well. When the need arises for a centerfire caliber that provides you with a removable magazine this Henry answers the bell. Retaining the traditional lever action operation with exposed hammer and forged steel lever the Long Ranger is not your Grandpa's Henry. It also features a geared action which drives a machined chromed steel bolt with 6-lug rotary head into a rear extension of the barrel for strong and consistent lock-up from shot to shot. The Long Ranger has no sights, but it drilled and tapped in order to accept a scope mount. The Stock is made from quality American Walnut and the Receiver features a hard anodized black finish, while the barrel features a blued finish.

The 308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) was introduced by in 1952. Based on the T65 experimental military cartridge, Winchester essentially jumped the gun with the civilian introduction; the 7.62x51 wasn't officially adopted (or named) until 1954. The military's intent was to create a shorter cartridge that would fit into a lighter version of the M1 Garand. This was successful beyond their wildest dreams: The 308 Winchester is essentially a 30-06 case greatly shortened to 2.015-inch, but it lags only about 100 feet per second behind the 30-06 in velocity, and with it shorter, more efficient case it tends to be more accurate. The 308 is suitable for any hunting for which the 30-06 is suitable--which means almost anything in the world short of large, dangerous game. The 308 is a standard chambering among most manufacturers and is found in all action types. Factory loads are legion, including a wide selection of very accurate match loads. — Craig Boddington
