Henry Frontier Long Barrel 22LR Accuracy
What accuracy are you getting off the bench with glass on your Henry Frontier Long Barrel (24") 22LR rifle at 100 Yards or Meters?
What ammo do you like best for 100 meters?
Under less than perfect conditions my best group of 5 at 100 meters was 1-3/4" shooting Eley Force (1.6 MOA?). The other two groups I shot were 2-1/2" and 2-5/8". The aggregate 15 shot group was 2-3/4". Might have been better with less wind and/or a better shooter, but it wasn't a dirty rifle.
I haven't been complaining but I heard of a guy who says he's getting better than 1 MOA. Whoa! 1 MOA would help me with those Rams?
Should I be expecting more out of my Henry?
For anybody with another rifle shooting 1 MOA or better at 100 Yards or Meters, what kind of rifle have you got and what kind of ammo are you shooting?

Re: Henry Frontier Long Barrel 22LR Accuracy
These are two consecutive groups my 24" Henry Frontier did from two different shooters with SK Std+, indoors at 50 yards with a Weaver V24. Puts it a touch over 1/2MOA with that ammo indoors. I shoot Aguila Super Extra in matches and get 1-1.5" at 100 meters with the cheaper ammo which is MOA or slightly worse. PLENTY good enough for LAS. It's a stellar rifle for the lever game.

I'm sad to admit Dhatch shot the better of the two.

Re: Henry Frontier Long Barrel 22LR Accuracy
I was AA for just the first three matches that I shot subsequent to purchasing a .22 LR Henry Frontier Long Barrel. I now consistently shoot AAA scores and a match winning Master score. The ultimate prize was a Grand Slam finalized at the last PA LA Regional.
The rifle has a Marble's tang peep sight yielding a 31" sight radius. The 3/32" factory front sight was replaced with a 1/16" front bead. My rifle likes Lapua Center-X better than SK Rifle Match.
Sorry I couldn't answer all your questions but I think you got my point that that rifle is the cat's meow.
