Now that I've accumulated a few Henry rifles it seemed like time to join up. I'm a retiree from northeastern Wisconsin and avid bullet caster and reloader. The only Henry I own that has seen a factory load is the rimfire. I've been lurking here for a while and hopefully can contribute what little bit of knowledge I've gained so far. The most recent aquisition was a Big Boy blued .45 Colt that made it's first trip to the range today. It's the 20" barreled model with standard lever and I mounted a Gen 2 Ultradot 30mm reddot with a 2 minute dot on it. After getting it sighting in the first 50 yard group was just under 1 1/2" and I came home grinning! :D

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

Welcome to the family from South Central Oklahoma. Jump right in, post, ask questions, and share. Pictures, we like pictures. Your rifles, guns, trucks, hobbies, fish, boats? You get the idea. We might pick on you, but it'll all be in good fun. The mods wouldn't allow anything else, this IS a family.
