Hello from Las Vegas

Post by Akaviator » Fri Mar 24, 2023 8:47 pm

Howdy, looking forward to learning more about these fine rifles! Currently I'm in Vegas for work, but I'm an Alaska resident and that is home.

My only lever gun currently is a 444 Marlin that I use for moose hunting. Looking at getting a couple of Henry's, interested in a 30/30 and either a 45 Colt or 44 Mag.

Welcome. You're a long way from home! Hmm; you have a 444, getting a 30-30, I'd say .45 Colt. But, I can certainly see a .44mag for your area.
Colt, if it's going to be for plinking purposes. How's the handloading situation in Alaska? Again, welcome.

Welcome from the Tualatin Valley Oregon. I have both a Henry 30-30 and 45 Colt. You're going to love them whatever you decide to get.

I haven't handloaded, but probably should start all things considered. I will use the Henry's for hunting as well, moose, bear, caribou....

Welcome from Michigan. I would guess you are looking for hunting rather than plinking so probably the 44 magnum for Alaska.

Hello from snowy Dacotah:
Man, you Almost got me. :lol: :lol:

Hello& Welcome from way over here in central W TN.
:o A fo-fo-fo, Love those, I own a pair a Sporter Safety and a P. ;)

If you don't reload then I'd say 44 mag. as the ammo should be more available, more options and "Used" to be less expensive.
