Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Howdy from Vancouver Island
Howdy from Vancouver Island
Hey All,
Ok so I'll start with a confession. I own two lever actions of that other detachable magazine brand - a 7mm-08 and a 30-06. Dang things shoot straight. There I said it, it was cathartic - am I banned? Do I need help?
Anyway the reason I'm here is because I decided to do something about the fact that despite being a lever action fan I've never owned a lever 22 and saw a plain Jane H001 on sale and bought it. I've always been curious about Henry's. I really like everything about it... Pretty, smoother action than either of my 2 other lever guns above or my lever action adler 12 gauge shotgun. We will see how accurate this Henry is next weekend assuming no rain. I am willing to try another Henry when I figure out what else would be useful.
I grew up cowboy mostly in Montana and lever guns have always been favorite. I still miss my first a Marlin 336ER in 356 Winchester.
My main vices in no particular order are guitars guns (lever action) and photography and associated activities.
Lived and worked in the Pacific Northwest mostly - Montana Washington Oregon Alberta British Columbia even California. Yes I am a dual citizen. Training is in natural resources forestry and range management.
Look forward to participating in this forum.

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: Howdy from Vancouver Island
Welcome from Ontario. I'm not much of a shotgun guy, but one of those Adlers might be just about enough to bring me over to the 'dark side'. Beautiful guns, and a lever to boot...
