I’ve always wanted a lever action local shop had a Henry frontier 22 so I bought it. Anyone have any experience with one how accurate do they shoot. Can’t decide if I want to scope it or not. I’d guess 50yards would be a long shot for squirrels in the woods I hunt.
This year I hunted exclusively with my CZ 455 Lux (euro iron sights) because that was the only threaded 22 barrel I currently own.
I've decided I'll either be getting a scope for it or using a different gun, as I body shot too many squirrels. As @Mallard8629 mentioned, squirrels are a b%#&h to skin and clean if they are shot in the vitals, especially when you hit them twice. Last year I used my 10/22 exclusively and except for a few, I had all headshots, and cleaning/skinning was a breeze.
