Henry 5.56 Long Ranger 

AmbGun Minuteman Review of the Henry Long Ranger in 5.56
Add a cheek riser, an optic in low rings, and a canvas GI Sling and the Henry Long ranger is capable of exceptional field accuracy.
My only perfect score on stage 4 of the Appleseed AQT is with the Long Ranger 
At 500 yards, from prone, the rifle put 5 rounds into 5 inches. Luck, but the rifle helps push you closer to that lucky group.
The chassis is optimal for a 6.5cm or 308, a bit heavy and overbuilt for a 5.56.
Mags are expensive, especially on a $’s per round basis
The Henry Lever action is a perfectly mirrored ambidextrous manual action and much faster to operate than a bolt action.
20” barrel extracts maximum velocity out of the 5.56 cartridge and doesn’t have much more muzzle flash than a 16” barrel fitted with a flash hider. 
Beautiful anodized aluminum receiver paired with the elegant walnut furniture is way more aesthetically pleasing than modern sporting rifles like the AR. 
A terrific option for those in 2A violating states or those who want to maintain a low profile…the Henry Long Ranger.
To improve my chances of recreating the 5 in 5" at 500, I'm going to use the Remington Premium Gold Medal with a 77gr Sierra MatchKing bullet. I'm going to deviate from my normal use of the Leupold VX-Freedom Ping-Plex reticle in favor of a calculated trajectory that will line up better with the Leupold's BDC stadia.  400 yards at bottom of the pig plex circle with 500, 600, and 700 matching the next aiming points. 
A 30/230 zero.

Why Turkey Neck Cheek Weld?

While I have not personally tested the Maven RF1 rangefinder, I do like that it is made in the Phillippines rather than the PRC. It looks like premium quality from a Lander, WY optics manufacturer.
