Buffalo Classic - first time out
« on: March 22, 2009, 02:50:09 PM »
Range report as promised:
29gr H4198
405gr Precision Cast (local caster)
Temp 40*F
This is a 50yd target as I ran out of time and didn't get to the 100yd range. What a fun gun to shoot and recoil was very mild. I was using the post insert in the front sight and a Williams FPTK receiver sight on the rear. It seems to be a good combination so far. I'm loading a bunch of different combination's of bullets and powder for the next time out. This gun is so much fun, I better start buying powder in the 8lb containers!!
I have other H&R's (doesn't everyone?) but this one seems to have more attention to detail and a little better build quality than the others.

The trigger feels like 3-3.5lbs (I haven't measured it yet) but it breaks like glass. I really have no problem with the trigger pull at its current weight. All my H&R triggers break really clean so I haven't "adjusted" any of them. They also got better with use and I don't want a 2lb trigger turning into something less so I just leave them alone on H&R's. I have target rifles and pistols that have very light pull weights but they see range use only. Besides, this thing is so much fun to shoot (as is) I'm afraid to change anything.
