Learned to shoot with a lever gun when I was 8 yrs. I've been a Henry fan since I got my first. Have several including the big boy golden boy 357 mag/38 sp, 30-30 a couple of 22's and I'm waiting for the delivery of my Henry .17 hmr varmint (that should be in this week) and my 223/556 NATO Henry lever with the magazine (that will be cool). I bought a couple of extra mags for it already but it may be a bit longer for it to come in. Regardless, I reload and for the exception of the .17 hmr, I'm good to go.
I have made sure I keep about 5K of factory in each cal I shoot except for the 6.5 creedmoor and grendel. I do have a ton of once shot brass for all of them and plenty of powder and lead wheel weights ready to form.
On top of my henrys I put Arken scopes. The 223 I got the 6-26x50 ffp and the others 4-16x50 ffp. Even the .17.
I don't deer hunt anymore, but I do enjoy going to deer camp. Can't justify shooting deer when I get so much from my family. I still shoot turkey and wild boar, but the hogs I just drop and forget. We got a big problem here in Oklahoma and ranchers/farmers want people to shoot all they want. But like I said, the meat is horrible and I like shooting them but not hauling them off or burying them.
Glad to find a Henry forum. Since I'm new, I'll screw up. I'm 65 and still can't keep my mouth closed and my ears open. Just swat me across the nose with a rolled up newspaper. Seems to do the trick for the wife.
Thanks for having me. I hope I can add to the conversation
