New to Henry Rifles

Post by Mags » Fri Apr 13, 2018 10:48 pm

Bought my first Henry rifle, the H009B .30-30. This brass beauty caught my eye and I couldn't resist. Love the way it feels when fired.

Welcome from the Show-Me-State, Mags.

I remember my first Henry, a BBB .357 Magnum. I totally understand, and easily remember, what you saw when your "brass beauty caught your eye." My bronze Henry did the same. :)

Henry has a good advertising focus for your rifle: "...the venerable .30-30 has been the king of deer calibers since the first rifle chambered in this ageless round was produced in 1894." So you also have a lot of history behind your choice. The .30-30 I had was the blued, round-barreled steel model (H009). Not the looker that your brass one is, but still had great wood furniture on it.

Easy question....do you plan to hunt white-tail deer with yours?

Best of shooting with your .30-30.
Enjoy!

@PT7. We have Columbian White-tail here. Their population has been on edge, so hunting them is currently banned west of the cascade mtns except for special controller hunts and then only in very specific areas. Might hunt black tail though. So far taken down one very large nutria.

They are nice rifles and the CS is fantastic for now as long as Anthony is the boss, I am wondering what happens when Anthony is no longer CEO.
