Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Ordered My First Henry
Ordered My First Henry
I ordered my first Henry rifle today. I live in North Texas on the Oklahoma border. Lots of game but I bought a .44 Magnum All-Weather primarily for hog hunting. I have access to several thousand acres of land, where hogs are definitely a problem. I can’t wait to get to the range then the field to try out my newest rifle.

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

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 MS.
If I may, I suggest trying out a couple of the Underwood offerings, unless you load your own. I've been buying from them for several years, and in my experience they are quite bit more consistent (mv, accuracy, etc.) than the major manufacturers. You will get a longer range in the Henry than what is stated due to the longer barrel - likely around 1600-1700fps mv for a 300gr. Check it with a crony if you have access to one.
