Hello all,

Was wondering if there were any forums dedicated to Henry owners. Googled "Henry Owners Forums" and there here was!

I've always wanted a Henry rifle. Last year, not only did I finally get my Henry rifle, I also got myself a few extras to boot.

My original purchase was the large frame, brass .45-70 (H010BG). Found out afterwards that I wouldn't be able to use it for hunting deer in my state. At least not on public lands. So then I decided that I needed the Big Boy Brass .360 Buckhammer (H024-360BH), which would be legal to use for deer in the state of Indiana. After receiving it, and seeing how beautiful it is, I just don't think I can bring myself to actually shooting it. That's when I decided to buy the Color Case Hardened (H012GRCC) .44 Magnum/.44 Spl., and as beautiful as it is, I'm going to make myself use it. In fact, I've already installed a Skinner peep sight on it, and if that sight doesn't work for these old eyes, I've got a Trijicon, Ascent 1-4 x 24 scope to mount on it. Finally, I also purchased a new pump action rifle (H003TM) in .22 WMR. I need it for this years upcoming squirrel camp. Yeah, I know, head shots, only. lol!

Forgot to mention that I enjoy shooting, hunting, metal detecting, photography, collecting animal traps and horror comics/magazines.

I've learned that Henry rifles are just like Lays potato chips.

They are that, yes! I have four, too.

Welcome!

Normally, I can't afford to buy even one, but I came into a little money, and got carried away. I told myself that I should get while the getting was good. So far, I have no regrets.

Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks, Vaquero! It's the danged collector in me that always wants to keep everything in minty condition for later when I have to sell. Drives me crazy some times. I may end up shooting the Buckhammer though. The .45-70? I don't know. It kind of scares my 135 pound self.

Aw, it ain't too, bad. I own and shoot 3 444's. And ah, I'm down to a Buck 45 myself.

Welcome fellow addict!!!!!

Thanks, Wiz, and yeah, I keep eyeballing that New Original Henry Iron-Framed. Man, what a sweet looking rifle it is. Sometimes wish that I had bought just that one. Maybe some day....

Never thought of it that way, but yeah, you're right!

Thanks for boosting my confidence, Vaquero. It's true, we do shrink as we get older.
