Henry Rifle Forums

I'm (almost) a first time Henry owner. I'll be receiving my Big Boy Steel in .327 Federal Mag on Monday. I have a Ruger .327 and really love shooting it and was looking for a rifle in that caliber. I've been waiting for a few months for Henry to ship and I'm really excited about receiving it Monday. Any scope suggestions welcome. I'm looking at the Leupold VX III 2.5-8x36mm; Nikon MONARCH 3 BDC, Black, 2-8x32; and the Weaver V-7 2-7X32 (High to Low price wise). Hope to get a lot of information from the forum on maintenance and other accessories.

Congratulations. I'm sure you'll love it.

Nothin better than a new Henry. I like the Burris 2x7 also for a scope there reasonable in price and good scopes. Al

Thanks for the replies. I'm sure I'll be here often.

Smart to get in the same caliber as your pistol.

Let's see a range report.........

Hi John .... welcome to the Forum from Runcorn, UK!

And congratulations on your new .327, too. I'm sure you're going to love it.

Welcome to the forum from CT.

Thanks! I'm an avid reloader and started reloading because of the .327 Federal magnum. It's hard to find ammo for it locally. I also reload for .38, .357 mag, .357 Sig, .40S&W, and .45 ACP. I do own some rifles: Ruger No. 1 in 25.06/ Ruger 10.22/ Marlin .22 WMR. My pistols are P229 in .40/9mm/.357 Sig; P224 in .40; P220 (.45 ACP)/ 340 CT S&W .357 mag/ and Ruger LCR in .327 Federal mag. I retired from teaching (32 yrs) and now have a home based business. I'm looking forward to the Henry.

Welcome to the forum. Come here as often as you like. And congratulations on that soon new to be Henry.

Thanks for the advice. I just ordered a Burris Fullfield E1 2-7x35 from Sport Optics on sale for $169.19. The "Big A" price was $208. I went to my local store (Carter's Country) down the road from me and they didn't have anything in 2-7. I thought that was a bit odd for a Houston chain store. Anyway, I'll get it mounted/sighted when it comes in and give you a report.

Welcome aboard, make yourself at home.

Congrats on your Big Boy!
