Got to shoot it today, and there's a lot to like. Handles great, and I like how it balances shooting offhand. Stock is not only pretty, but comfortable & fits me well. Best I can tell it's all high quality materials, and they're put together very well. Showed some good accuracy potential, though the two things I don't like so much will be a hindrance until addressed.
Those two things are the sights & the trigger, & I'm sure neither is a big surprise to anyone here. Knew all about both of these things before buying, so not going to call them "complaints"... they were expected. That said, they'll have to be dealt with to really bring out the full potential of the rifle (in my hands, anyway).
The trigger is actually pretty crisp, just too heavy at almost 7 lbs. Sights are functional, just not my cup of tea. Tough to get real precise elevation adjustments, & I really do better with a rear sight closer to the eyes.
So that brings me to the request(s) for advice.
First, does anyone know a source other than Grainger for the spring that'll help reduce trigger pull weight? They're out of stock right now... not a huge deal to wait, but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if there are alternatives.
Second, has anyone added the Skinner rear peep that fits the Henry SS/NEF/HR? Interested in knowing if/how you had to address the front sight after adding the Skinner rear sight.
