Henry Rifle Forums

About 6 months ago I bought a Big Boy Classic in 357 Magnum and shortly after saw the X-model and bought one of those too. The Big Boy Classic has sat in the safe un-fired and yesterday I decided to give it to my grandson and got the green light from his parents. Do to covid it's been along time since I've seen him so looking forward to his visit and giving it to him. He thought the H001L was "neat" so I'm excited to see the grin on his face with the 357 Magnum.

Very cool man, he will enjoy that for the rest of his life.
Way to go grandpa.

So very cool

That will be a smile to remember!!

Excellent move 'islander. Good for you.

I have it written to which Henry goes to which grandkid, everyone picked their favorite (except one grandson didn’t want a Henry he wanted my left handed Benelli) so I need 1 more grandkid to take the last Henry.

Nice to be able to enjoy the reaction. Hard to see when you cant see over the dirt anymore. Did this with all of my wife’s children

I’m available for adoption.

Great thing to do and hope both of you get to enjoy shooting that Big Boy 357!

I agree, very cool!

Way to go Grandpa. I can't think of a better present and you get to see the reaction.

Outstanding !

My grandson (10) has his Henry 22 youth, but has shot my Henry BB 357 with .38 loads and loved it. Don't know how old your GS is, but I guarantee it will bond him with the old many even more. Nicely done ! ! ! !

My old man never taught me )@(#$ about shooting or hunting, it was my grandfather King. I reflect on him more than the old man. We had a special bond because of it.

He is scheduled for his 2nd covid vaccine and anxiously planning a trip up north to see gramp's. I don't think it'll take long once that happens.
Thanks for the nice comments.

From Washington to South Dakota that might be mortal culture shock!

Way to continue the traditions.

My grandfather gave me a single shot 22 when I was young. I taught my girls to shoot with one, but then moved them to a semi-auto Marlin. I gave that to my middle daughter. Her daughter got the Single Shot.

They live on a farm here in OK, where they shoot. The others live in suburban areas and rarely shoot anymore. I have guns designated for them, later.
