Long Ranger

[TraderVic]

Browsed a gun shop about 45 minutes from my farm awhile ago. They had a Henry Long Ranger 243 sitting there. Did not have time to handle it, but did notice the price on it. Is $ 689.99 ball park for these rifles ?

I've never actually priced a Long Ranger but with an MSRP IS $1,066 that price doesn't seem to bad ....

That's a rock bottom price on a LR. GB is all over the place, but generally $800+. Big Box guys are at about $920.

Your $689.99 is the best price I've heard of. Best price I've seen elsewhere, $790. An LR usually retails between $800 and $900. But can be $1000+.

Id be all over that if I wanted a LR in 243. thats a great price.

At this time I'm still studying the LR and caliber(s). I'm hoping Henry will expand the short action calibers a bit in the future. After all, this is still the first year of this new model and Henry is "testing the water".

Looks like a nice rifle though...

My criteria in choosing an LR is cost of ammo and long term ammo availability. At the moment .223/5.56 ammo is the least expensive centerfire and I figure it is going to be around for a long time. My wish for the LR would be for a longer receiver to allow forward throw of the lever to not bump into an extended magazine. A 10 round magazine to me is the sweet spot in mag size.
