Hey folks.
I work at a gun retailer, and recently had hands on a Henry "Long Ranger" chambered in 223.
Further digging revealed that there is a 308 version as well.
To make it that the rifle has long(er) range accuracy and to eliminate the typical requirement of having to use certain profile bullets for safety concerns, Henry made these so that they are magazine fed.
If you could accurately shoot 200 ish yards with 1.5 moa accuracy, I would think that a lever action magazine fed 308 with a 1-6 power scope, would be a great combo between a short to medium range hunting gun, but that also works really well in the brush too. It would be really cool, to dial in a 1 power on the walk to the stand, and if something flushes, take a shot, along with the ability to reach out to 200 yards and take elk..
If you could have an illuminated reticle, the close range shots get even faster. Any thoughts or other ideas or things I overlooked?
