Is it wrong to want one of each

[North Country Gal]

As for how many is too many, just depends if you are looking at it from a shooter's point of view or a collector's. I'm a shooter and it's all I can do to rotate through the guns to see that they get shot on a regular basis. Most of the time it's a losing battle, though, because naturally there are favorites. Others get shot just often enough to keep dust off them.

Thanks for the nice comment, PT. I love sharing my experiences with these guns. Labor of love, actually.

[quote="PT7"]A good side-effect of your affliction, "too many guns, too many cartridges" disease, has given us Henry Folk the benefit of your experience & knowledge. Appreciate your way of describing our affliction (fascination) with firearms and the shooting sports.

Out of curiosity, NCG. What do you consider to be "too many guns?"

Come on PT theres no such thing as to many guns. Problem at my house is there isn't enough money to buy all the ones I want.

Hey, BigAl,

Cool that your comments touched on the follow-up thread topic I mentioned to NCG. Especially that "theres no such thing as to many guns." Interesting.

Maybe we need to come together and decide on an accurate name for the incurable "chronic affliction" many of us Henry owners have! I always remember Sir Henry's signature line when he wrote: "Hi, my name is Gene and I'm a Henryholic."

BTW, is the .22 mag rifle you're looking at the Henry model? I had one of the H001M Henrys, and like my .22LR SGC, it was very accurate and a lot of fun to shoot. It would be a great choice.

Im looking at a tenth one now so I hope not or Im in trouble. I found a 22 mag in a small game rifle about 60.00 cheaper than the carbine. Im thinking for that much difference I can live with the 20 inch barrel. Besides it will hold 2 more rounds.

PT
Yes its the long barrel version of the SGC. I have been looking and looking at 22 mag asking all kinds of questions about CZ and other 22 mag models but Im still a lever guy first. SGC arent around right now and several have sold off GB. There is one on there but the price on this small game rifle with a 20 inch barrel is about 60.00 less and in fact its less than alot of the 22 mags I have seen for sale. So I think im gonna jump on it. Al

I'm ok with just a couple of guns, but I sure do have a 45 Colt ammo hoarding problem; can't get enough!

[BigAl52]

Ya but you gotta be ok with one or two guns in that case Ranchroper because at the price of 45 colt ammo you could buy that Golden Boy 22 u been wanting for a 1000 rounds of 45 colt ammo.
