new NH member - any others

Just completed my collection of Henry Golden Boy rimfire rifles (.22lr, .22 mag, .17hmr). Thinking of putting Skinner sights on them. Have used them before on other lever guns. Heard the factory fronts sight on the rimfires can often work with the added Skinners.

Also have a .41 Mag Big Boy steels. Can't wait for the .327 Fed Mag. in Golden Boy.

Always looking for advice on how to convince (assuage) the wife about a new gun - I mean investment.
My recent Weim puppy is named L.C. for last chance. An old man needs one more bird dogs to trudge behind in the woods. A shaky voice is employed at this point, teary eyes if you can manage.

Currently I am using the argument that selling a 'set' of Henrys in rimfires is better than selling just one. Anyone with real world experience with this issue? I also content, a lever gun needs to be paired with a wheel gun for maximal fun and profit on the back end.

As far as me... transplanted Midwesterner into the NE, the Granite State. The locals seem real enough not sure about all the neighbors to the south that move up for the view; the view after all the trees are cut down. Getting ready to retire from 26 years in the uber liberal environment of a Ivy league medical school. I am the only professor who wears Bates boots to work. Feet are fine while head exploded in another meeting. The leaders waste 20-30 million dollars and still want to lead.

I am interested to know how many forums the membership frequents. Lots of them out there. Most are entertaining and informative. From one of the forums, I know what bear self-defense gun I will take to Alaska with me. I am told I will not likely get to use it to defend myself, but my Ruger .480 SuperBlackHawk will look good on my corpse, much more impressive than a can of pepper spray that I shot the guide in the eye with. Don't want the cause of death to read, 'blinded guide unable to focus .375 H and H on bear to save client armed with pepper extract. Of course more reading will convince you of the power of pepper over lead.

Nice sunny day in NH, hope all is well with the faithful.

Welcome from Pennsylvania! In regards to your question on other forums, I frequent four other firearm forums, a Toyota RAV4 forum and a NASCAR diecast forum. I like your collection as you stated.

This is my only forum. Welcome from Alberta Canada. And pepper spray is just steak seasoning for the grizzlies we get here. Some will flip you over and season both sides.

Welcome from CT. Like you, I spent the last of my working days at a university as an adjunct professor and faculty support staff and I loved it. I also love shooting (.22 and .357) and reloading (.357), which I've been doing since I retired a few years ago. This is the only forum for me, too.

Asking for forgiveness is much easier than asking permission or trying to convince the wife of another levergun and single action. Just do it. Welcome from Colorado. All the other forums on the net are back seat to this one. Al

Never thought I'd see an Ivy League Professor (UPenn?) on a gun forum - welcome from the Shenandoah Valley, VA. Glad you joined the conversation. Your assessment of Alaskan grizzly diets and eating habits is probably spot on....

Welcome to the forum!

Nice collection!!

Uh, pictures or it didn't happen.

Thanks to all for the welcome. Old fashion manners are refreshing. A written or verbal hello is better than looking at the back of someone's head as they look hopefully into their phone hoping for wisdom (tweet). Stood next to one on an elevator for 20 seconds before she realized it had not moved and I was staring at her. Still did not get it as she went back to her electronic devise for security
