My name is Nick. Live in the high desert of California. I bought a Henry Big Boy in .45 Colt about a week ago. I love this thing! I took out to the range and my buddies and I have been havin so much fun shooting in the desert with it. We call it "Big Jim." I was going through my tacticool phase for a while, decided to switch things up, and bring this beaut with some vaqueros out, and all the sudden range day had a whole new feel to it. In all honestly, it reminded me of when my brother and I would shoot our daisy and Red Ryder bb guns in the back yard. I gotta say, this was a good life choice!

Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Hello from California
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new Henry!
I made a similar change to my firearms collection, and I'm with you. Got the Big Boy Steel .357 and felt like a kid again. Then jumped on a Small Game Carbine .22 and felt like a bigger kid. They're kind of addictive.
Lots of VERY experienced, knowledgeable people here (not including me), so don't be afraid to ask any questions.
They're very patient and giving of their expertise.
Again, welcome aboard! And, POST a PIC!
