GAOS – Long Ranger with Sights by Henry Arms

Thursday, February 9th, 2017

I know it’s odd to see a lever-action rifle on SSD but the new Long Ranger with Sights by Henry Arms caught my because of the callers it’s offered in; .223, .243 and .308, making it an interesting choice for those who own plenty of AR family rifles but are looking for something different which uses their already existing ammunition supply. It’s a solid gun at 7 lbs.

These lever-action rifles rifles feature American Walnut stocks and 20″ barrels. However, unlike most lever-actions, they are fed from a steel-bodied detachable magazine which is flush-fit (5-round capacity in .223, 4-round in .243 and .308) with a steel floorplate and a blackened steel release button on the right side of the receiver.

This image from Henry Arms gives you a better view of the rear sight.

GAOS – AmericanSnipers.org

Thursday, February 9th, 2017

I stopped by the AmericanSnipers.org booth in order to see how things were going and to pick up a 2017 coin.

As you can see, it features a Viking shield at the front and a Sniper atop skulls at the rear.  It’s a hefty piece which will take a cord such as the length of 550 seen here.  Additionally, the edge is inscribed with a motivational saying made famous in an earlier coin. 

If you’re attending GAOS be sure to stop by booth #404 in the shooting sports hall. Otherwise, get your AS swag at www.americansnipers.org.  Proceeds benefit US military Sniper teams with much needed mission equipment.
