1. Stiff Trigger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lots of users complain that the .308 single shot rifle from Henry has a very stiff trigger making it very hard to pull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason behind it is in the spring, and Henry thinks that it has the right amount of pull force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though users don\u2019t like it, there is a safety reason too. Due to stiffness, it prevents the gun from accidental discharge by dropping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Henry doesn\u2019t recommend fixing this issue as it violates their safety concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one user swapped<\/strong><\/a> the spring with a Grainger 54-44. The problem with this swap was a misfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you are planning on some experiments, you will have to do it at your own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, you can find lots of guides to adjust the trigger-pull weight online. According to experts<\/strong><\/a>, you must not do it as a beginner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be better to take the rifle to a gunsmith because Henry officially doesn\u2019t lighten the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Accuracy Issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Henry single-shot rifles are pretty accurate and reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are some minor complaints about the accuracy of its .44 Mag model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me assure you that the accuracy of this model is still very good; only one every 4 or 5 shots go slightly out of the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the users in reply to this problem blame the iron sight of the gun. Also, shooting too far can cause this problem too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Unless you have practiced a lot with these kinds of single-shot rifles, using a scope will dramatically improve the shooting accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, you should be fine shooting within 100 yards. Also, having a 1\u201d group at 75 or 80 yards is considered good in terms of accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, I am sharing some tips to improve the accuracy of your gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
