In the same vein as ESquared's above post. The more I follow and read all the Forum air gun chats, the larger my "shooting world" (my understanding) about these becomes! Had no idea there is so much out there to learn about air rifles and air guns and manufacturers. Well, didn't know anything about Henry lever actions at one time. Guess a fellow can "start over" learning about these rifles!

As an example, one of the web sites I found is called "Air Rifle Lab." Of course, I also don't know anything about that web site either! :roll: But found an interesting page there, which is titled "Best Air Rifle Reviews 2018 – Complete Pellet Gun Guide." I'm certain it may be partially marketing, but should be other stuff, too. So I'll probably dig through it a little. Here is the link: http://www.airriflelab.com/

Glad Henry Folk that own and enjoy these rifles share so much info about them. Definitely is an education! Thanks, Everybody. :)

Last fall I bought a 397 a 1317 and a 1322. Set up a nice indoor range in the basement. But the noise scared the dog and that PO'd the wife so I haven't shot them much, this fall I'll set something up out behind the garage.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Yes, you have, NCG. Also down the road, surely there will be Forum members who will sit in the Lounge more comfortably as the wallets in their back pockets become thinner, thinner, thinner....and so on. :lol:

Ammo costs less than two cents per round. The gun is a German made precision beauty with a trigger to match. A joy to shoot and almost effortless to cock. It's my HW30S Laminate in 177 and it's a favorite.
My goal is to win the lotto so I can buy some acreage in E. Texas and have my own shooting range.
