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.......

Re: What's Your Story, How did you learn of the Henry Rifle Forum's existence?
I fell in love with Henry rifles a few years ago through magazine ads (probably the only time I've consciously bought something because of advertising) and bought a 30-30. I like Henry's quality, service, and American manufacture.
I heard about the forum from another member and, since I'm always wanting to learn from others' experience I decided to join.

Re: What's Your Story, How did you learn of the Henry Rifle Forum's existence?
I have owned quite a few levergun over the years, and had heard of the smoothness of the Henry Lever Action through differing forums. The first time I picked up Henry rifle length lever gun, in 357 at my local gun shop sealed the deal for me also. I was looking to replace a Marlin 1894 in 357 that I thought was going to be the be-all end-all, and it was far from it. The Henry outshone that Marlin completely, and was even better than my Pumas which I had been shooting for many years. I have no regrets as to which one I chose, as the Henry is the only one left in my stable in a 357 lever action. I still have my Marlin 1895ss in 45 70, and that one just holds too many fond memories to get rid of.
I have just recently picked up Henry Lever Action in 22 Mag, and am in deep admiration of it. I seriously look at picking up one or two of the long Rangers and a single shot, but this would require divesting myself of multiple AR-15s and an 308AR. As I built my AR-15, and have no questions on the reliability of my 308 AR, I just find it very hard to get rid of them. But the lever guns just feel "correct".
EDIT******
I caught a link to this forum from a site maker website. I'm drawing a blank right now as to the name, but I'm very happy to be over here. And seeing the variations of knowledge and ideas that are coming out of this site makes it worthwhile.

Re: What's Your Story, How did you learn of the Henry Rifle Forum's existence?
I had been looking at buying a rifle, as a lefty my choices were limited. I wanted something in a .30 caliber, with iron sights and a 18-20" barrel. Pretty easy to find right? Get an AR-10. Well after 12 years of shooting, cleaning, and breaking ARs I was pretty much over the platform. Wanted either a lever or a bolt. Or a used Springfield Armory M1A (the price kind of broke me of that wish). Didn't like the safeties they put on the Marlins, didn't really trust the quality of the Mossberg levers, and everything else seemed godawfull expensive except Henry which always seemed to be just right, Goldilocks complex am I right? I was practically about to jump and buy a Ruger Gunsite Scout in 308 win (the one with the 18"stainless steel barrel makes me drool) but I just kept feeling like it would never feel like MY rifle...ya know? Then I saw the Henry Long Ranger and the second great debate began. Finally I decided it would be much more fun to teach my daughter's how to shoot a rifle safely with a lever that everyone could use vs a wrong sided bolt action that they'd have to un-learn someday down the road. It feels like MY rifle. It shoulders beautifully, lines up dang near perfectly. The walnut is to die for gorgeous. I can't wait to shoot her.

Thank you for adding your story! Long Ranger is a good choice. Of course I have a bias for that choice, too.

Neat story and a 308 is a great choice. One of my favorite calibers.
