Hello from California- Don't hold it against me.

[7Warriors]

I'm new to Henry and to this forum. I have a Big Boy Steel on order from Bud's. I do own a Marlin 30A of '82 manufacture. She plain Jane, but she's smooth and shoots well. I'm retired LEO and I like guns, reloading, hunting with them and just shooting for pleasure. I like the history, the looks and nostalgia of the lever rifles and wanted an ammo companion for one of my revolvers. I've read and watched good reviews about the Henry Rifles so I chose the Henry Big Boy steel rifle. She will be carried, fired and God willing, help me put deer in the freezer.

Welcome to the Forum from the "Show-Me-State," 7Warriors.

There are a lot of Big Boy owners here, and I'm sure you'll enjoy sharing about your soon-to-come Henry experiences with the BBS, too. Also hope that your freezer will someday be packed with a good deer harvest!

Welcome from CT. You'll enjoy that new Big Boy, for sure. Keep us posted after you get it.

Welcome to the forum! You'll find a lot of great people here, very knowledgeable and willing to share their experiences and advice! Sounds like maybe you are getting the BBS in .357? There's no bad choice in caliber, but many Henry 357 shooters here (including me). About to plunge into the reloading pool, starting with that round...

Welcome again, and congrats on your first Henry!

I was just about to ask that very question. Good choice with the Big Boy! I just recently bought my second Henry (in .357) and will be doing my best to get a deer with it as well!

Welcome! I'm also in Ca., so, I got your back. No one here has given me any grief about Ca, so, I think we're good. I recently bought the BB Classic[brass] in .357/.38spl. In the short time I've had it, I ve shot the day lights out of that rifle. Pure pleasure to shoot. Handloading for it now, even better. Welcome aboard officer.

Not sure why anyone would give you grief about being from California. There are plenty of great things about the state. I was married there, and spend a couple of weeks there twice a year. The 35,000,000 people is a bit of a turn off, but luckily they feel the need to be really close to one another!

Redthies, just the political climate here. Pretty zany, so a lot of folks think we're all zany. Some , not all. And, it's as expensive as heck here. But, hey, we have nice weather, right? I'm retired, wife has a couple more years at her job. Then we look. Actually, I'm doing so now.

Ex-Californian here. Are you at least in one of the better parts of the state (i.e. not the SoCal metropolis or the Bay Area)?

Politics are never my barometer of an area. Politicians are typically morons at the best of times no matter where you are in the world. California is actually cheap compared with where I live. I have friends that own a house in a less than desirable part of Vancouver (ethnic gangs etc) and its a small 50s bungalow. He’s been offered $2.1 million for it. Another friend lives in a worse area, an hour from the city, but on a bigger lot (1/4 acre) and he recently sold for $1.7 million. It’s ludicrous.

Where are you thinking of moving to? Lots of my ex-pat California friends end up in Colorado or Oregon.

S/E Idaho. Also kicking around St. George, Utah area. Been to Utah twice and S/E Idaho 5-6 times looking about.
