First time poster here.
I have a 6.5 Long Ranger that I have owned for about 2 years. I really want to love this gun, but problems keep mounting.
I am about to send it back to Henry for the 3rd Time.
The first time the bolt would lock up after firing and I could not open the action. I sent it in after hunting season.
When it came back, the bolt lever would not stay closed! The lever would fly open with the slightest bump.
So I sent it in again.
I took it to sight in for hunting season and I am getting multiple failures to extract and occasionally the action is locking up again. I am not babying the lever so it is not that.
In addition my accuracy seems to be pretty inconsistent occasional 1.5” groups @ 100 but sometimes up to 3.5. Zero seems to wander as well. My scope screws and bases are torqued correctly. Could be me but my 1895 is printing 2” in same sessions consistently. I know the barrel is this but still.
I am having some buyers remorse. I got the rifle because my kids are lefties and I like the look. But so far it’s been a lot of trouble. It could be that it’s because 6.5 isn’t ideal for this action. I was also thinking this could have been produced during Covid and that could have caused some QC issues.
any thoughts and anyone have similar issues?
