I just joined your forum, very happy to have found it. I just got into Henry rifles last year and I'm hooked, ended up 2020 with 6 new rifles. I'm 76 years old now and my goal was to obtain rifles in .22 caliber to pass down to my son and 4 grandsons. I exceeded that a bit, as all 6 rifles are either .22LR, .22mag, or .17HMR. I have been going to indoor ranges, which limits most of the centerfire rifles that can be used. But now that I have found a decent outdoor site, I'm looking to get either a Henry 30-30 or .357 Magnum/.38 Spl.

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.......

Hey Wayne. Congrats on that starter collection! Lol. The kids will love em. I vote for any of the 357 models. Of course, I’m biased.

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

I live in Normandy Park, which is just south of Seattle, and borders on Puget Sound.

Wayne I lived there as a child so I know right were you are. I lived on Marine View Dr. at the corner of Shoremont Ave. Puget Sounds was a place I spent a lot of time at as a kid.

Amazing! I live on Brittany Dr SW, one block west and about 10 houses away. I’m right next to Brittany Park and have a great view of the Sound and Vashon Island.

That ole concrete fountain has been around a while. That park didnt get much care when I was a kid. I had a buddie who lived on Brittany Dr but it was south of Shoremont Ave. The house I lived in as a child is about twice as big as it was when I lived there. I use to love to go for a ride down by the pool and up the hill. Take a left and head towards Three Tree Point. Then crawl the hill into Burien. Doesnt look the same now. I was in Washington in April seeing my sister she lives in Covington. Went to high school in Des Moines and when I get back there I like to go to Wallys and Ive been to Saltys
