Noob from Atlanta

Post by T56Impala » Sun Feb 28, 2021 10:27 am

Hello. I’ll introduce myself quickly.

I’m from Atlanta. The H012CX is my first Henry and first lever gun. I’ve been drooling over them for years and finally made the jump. Planning to pick up a 45-70 Henry when I can find one at a decent price.

I’m retired and am currently building a home in Florida. Once done, I’ll sell this house and start building my summer home in Montana. Life isn’t all roses as my wife has been diagnosed with stage 4 TNMB. We’ve been fighting breast cancer since 2017. Give us the ammo and we’ll keep fighting! So far we are fighting a good fight.

I’m not much of a hunter. Duck, Dove and Turkey is about all I’ve ever done. I enjoy clays and targets. Had a chance last year to go to Texas and join a hog hunt. I really enjoyed it! Was invited again this year and will be taking the Vaquero and Henry.

Two kids. My daughter graduates this year and is heading to the university of Edinburgh. My son will graduate next year. He’s looking at Columbia and Chicago. (Physics)

I’m a car guy as well, though with two teens driving, I don’t get to indulge my passion these days. I also do some wood turning. I enjoy home projects. Finished out our basement a few years back. Complete with the football room! Alabama fan....ROLL TIDE!! Wife is an alum, sister is an Alum and I went to UAB.

Currently I have:

Kimber Micro 380
Kimber Micro 9
Kimber Ultra Carry II
Kimber Custom II
Sig Sauer p238
Remington R1S
Tisas 1911
Taurus PT1911 (project Gun)
Ruger Vaquero 8 1/2” barrel 45LC
Remington 11 87
Mossberg 930
T R Silver Eagle

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.......

Welcome from Nebraska. Best wishes with wife’s battle. I like the ‘summer’ house idea.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Best wishes to your wife and everybody in your family.

What part of Montana is your summer place going to be?

Good job adding a rifle to all those beautiful handguns and shotguns.
