Re: New member from eastern Washington State
Welcome to the forum from Michigan. Hope you enjoy your 357 BBS. I too am a lever gun fan from my first rifle and I am leaning toward a 357 steel. Please let us know how you like it and how the scope works out. We like pictures!

Re: New member from eastern Washington State
Hey Hatchdog, welcome. I read your useful posts daily at Spokane Gun Trader, and I appreciate your keeping a strong leash on some of the more unruly members there as a moderator.
I am not yet a Henry owner though I hope to be shortly, I am funding the purchase of an All Weather .44 Mag by selling my current bear gun at SGT. I need a firearm that I can transport into Canada for camping around big toothy animals.
I was thinking hard about that BB in .327 Federal Mag but I think it is just too heavy. I hope you enjoy yours.

Re: New member from eastern Washington State
Cngrats! My only Henry is a .327 Federal mag. Good all round caiber in my opinion. I have a Burris E1 2-7 X 35 on mine. Works great!Hatchdog wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 12:32 pmGreetings all,
Resident of the Spokane area of Washington State for 63 years (life). I’ve been an active firearms owner/user since early high school years and continue to enjoy the sport. I don’t do much hunting anymore due to advanced laziness but do continue to shoot both for recreation and competition. I participate in F class rifle shooting and some very casual trap shooting.
At one time I had a pretty extensive collection of Marlin lever actions ranging from 22lr to 45-70. Slowly I have sold off my collection and find I miss levers as I was down to only my 39A 22lr. Recently I was shopping for a Mini-14 and stopped into my LGS who didn’t have any Mini’s but I ran across a Henry Big Boy steel rifle in 327 Fed Mag. I have always been enamored with this caliber having owned a Ruger SP-101 in the past and currently have a Ruger LCRX that is my daily carry. I couldn’t resist so I brought the Henry home. My plan is to scope is as I find it hard to keep the front bead in focus using open sights. I’m thinking a Redfield Revolution 2-7x33 will look nice on it as it is a smaller scope.
I see there is a running total post for Henry’s and I’ll wander over there and add mine.
Happy chatting everybody.
