New H012R .44 mag

[Omegaspeedy]

Couldn't do without my Henry for two months (waiting for new barrel to ship from the US and get it installed...see copper fouling thread) so bought this little beauty. Can't wait to shoot it! .44 Carbine. Henry are so awesome and their customer is second to none.

The Carbine models are really nice handling. I really like them. Nice rifle.

Congrats, Omegaspeedy. Looks like you're all set for the range and after --- ammo, bore brushes, new Henry Carbine with that beautifully-checkered wood furniture!

Enjoy-enjoy.

I think you're going to love your new rifle. I picked one up in early December. I almost feel like I need to cover it up if I select a different rifle for a hog hunt. I found that in sighting mine in at 50 yards, I had to really drop the insert in the semi-buckhorn rear sight. Congrats on your new rifle!

Beautiful new rifle, congrats and thanks for sharing! Christmas in February!

Looks mighty fine Omegaspeedy. I might be on the look out for a .357 in a carbine. Those just look so handy.
Can't wait for range report.

congrats on your new Henry .... its a beautiful rifle .... outside of a little basic information, I know very little about your home country .... thanks for being willing to read and post on our forum .... just curious, are Henry rifles in common use ? .... do you use yours for hunting or on public firing ranges ? .... if so, what has been the reaction of people who have seen yours ?

Congrats on your new rifle! Can't wait to hear from you on how you and it get along shooting!

Thanks my friends, I'll definitely do a range report on Wednesday when I can get it out. These carbines sure do feel so good in hand. Very light and nimble. It wouldn't be too hard to have it on your back all day in the forest or mountains.

JEBar, about New Zealand, we are a small country with 4.8m citizens made up of two main Islands (Though there is many more small Islands). As NZ in long, our climate ranges from Tropical Maritime in the north to Polar Maritime in the south with low lying temperatures of -5-10C in winter to 10-35C in the summer. We have a pronounced four seasons and sometime all in one day . NZ in built on the the edge of some big tectonic plates so we have SSW-NNE mountain ranges nearly the entire length of our South Island and halfway up our North Island. We get minor earth quakes and on rare occasions some very serious shakes. Ag (meat, milk) is our number one export due to excellent farming land which is very fertile. The topography ranges from great plains, undulating hills, dense native forests, great lakes, extensive alpine environments and beaches of all varieties (White sand, black iron sand, rocky cliff etc). It's a pretty multi cultural country with a local people (Maori) and Polynesian populous due to our location in relation to the Pacific Islands (Tonga, Samoa, Rarotonga, Fiji, and Niue. Due to our farming culture, we have a high gun ownership per head of capita and reasonable gun laws (which are always being infringed on by governments and any gunners). There's lots of hunting here from rabbits all the way to Tahr. Heaps of wild pigs and goats. The jewel in the crown hunting wise is many variety of Deer. NZ is generally a friendly safe place with stable government but like all countries, there's always a few rotten apples that cause problems. Generally a nice place to live.

Henry rifles get a positive response when I take it down to the range and have a lot of respect. Most of my shooting is just plinking down at the range. I live on the edge of our biggest city (Auckland) and though there's farms all around here, I don't have access to that land which always has stock on it anyway.

Cheers James.
