Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
New Henry H010 hopefully 45/70
New Henry H010 hopefully 45/70
FInally bit the bullet ( not literally ), this AM. Went to Sportsmans Outdoors Super Store in Murfreesboro,TN, where they had the rifle on sale. Got to the store, sold it yesterday ( dang ). So..., tried to order it online there in the store, wouldn't go thru, said the payment info was incorrect. OK, I'll go home & try from there. Same result. Getting a bit ticked at this point, so I call my bank & had them check the card. She says there was a block on the card, due to the amount of purchase. She removed the block & changed my phone #.
Still didn't work, so I call Mastercard, says the block is gone, should be ok.
Try it again, same story. ( Smoke coming from the top of my noggin now ). I scroll down thru the card info, and noticed there was a period after my middle initial. That won't work on the card, removed to period, purchase went thru. WHEW!!
So, now in a few days ( hopefully ), I'll have my new Henry in my paws.
Keep you fingers crossed folks,
End of rant, lOL,
Larry

I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

I hate having to jump through hoops trying to spend my money. Glad you persevered and ordered your new rifle, it will be worth it.

Yep, a pain in the butt. But I'm not the type to give up easily. Stubborn as a house cat.

Remember what they said years ago. "Computers are your friend". I think they misspelled friend, maybe fiend. Glad you got it ordered.

They can be. They can also be your worst enemy. Kinda like a Marine.

Well, just when you think things couldn't get more screwed up, it has. Got an email from Sportsmans Outdoors, saying they need a copy of the FFL. Called the store, they say they can't ( stupid, yes ). Gave me a # to call CS, wrong #. Long story short, I replied to the email, giving a large piece of my mind, which I don't have any to spare.
Told them to cancel the order. I'll look elsewhere. They won't get any more of my business.
Not been a good day, and no rifle.

Update, I've ordered another rifle, from another source, LGS. Should be here in a week, maybe or before, depending on shipping.
We'll see how this try goes.............
And, patience is not one of my few virtues, LOL
