Tapehoser,
Great shooting for no optics! I am one of those rare individuals who do not like to use optics-for a few different reasons, so I can appreciate good shooting when I see it. It is all about the challenge for me.
You said you did this with a .44 Winchester. I know that Henry Rifles were the original precursor to the Winchester and I have been thing of getting a Henry Big Boy .44/.45. I know it has a brass receiver, and I have been told that this wouldn't be a good purchase because brass receivers heat up too easily and cause problems. Do you have any insight on this that may be of assistance to me? Or Any one else for that matter? I really like the look of the octagonal barrelled Henry lever action and want to get one. But if something like a regular Winchester .44 is a better choice, I could just as easily purchase one of those. By the way, what did you pay for your Winchester?
Thanks,
Robie
