This video details a practical shooting drill using the Henry Supreme 300 BLK rifle on a T-Rex Arms 50-round carbine course. The instructor demonstrates various stages of the drill, including timed engagements at different distances, reloads, and movement. The review highlights the rifle's performance, potential malfunctions due to cold and lack of lubrication, and compares its speed to AR-15 platforms, concluding that while slower, it offers a capable alternative, especially in restrictive states.

Quick Summary

The Henry Supreme 300 BLK, while a manually operated rifle, offers a capable tactical lever-action platform. It completes a 50-round carbine course in 57.31 seconds, slower than an AR-15 but faster than traditional lever actions due to its magazine feed. Proper lubrication is crucial, especially in cold weather, to ensure reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Henry Supreme 300 BLK perform in a tactical carbine course compared to an AR-15?

In a T-Rex Arms 50-round carbine course, the Henry Supreme 300 BLK completed the drill in 57.31 seconds with a hit factor of 3.72. An AR-15 achieved a time of 38.9 seconds with a hit factor of 4.64, indicating the AR-15 is faster but the Henry offers a capable lever-action alternative.

What are the main advantages of the Henry Supreme 300 BLK for tactical use?

Key advantages include its magazine-fed system for faster reloads compared to older lever actions, the versatile 300 Blackout caliber (supersonic/subsonic), and a soft recoil impulse making it manageable for extended shooting. It can also be a viable option in states with AR-15 restrictions.

What are the primary drawbacks of the Henry Supreme 300 BLK for tactical applications?

The main drawbacks are that it's still a manually operated rifle, making it slower than semi-autos. It lacks a full-length rail for mounting accessories like weapon lights and optics traditionally, and the action requires significant force, especially when dirty or cold.

How does cold weather affect the Henry Supreme 300 BLK's reliability?

Cold weather and a lack of lubrication can cause feeding and cycling malfunctions. The video notes that the rifle ran perfectly after being lubricated and with supersonic ammunition, suggesting proper maintenance is critical, especially in extreme temperatures.
