Henry Rifle Forums

I ordered my first Henry rifle today. I live in North Texas on the Oklahoma border. Lots of game but I bought a .44 Magnum All-Weather primarily for hog hunting. I have access to several thousand acres of land, where hogs are definitely a problem. I can’t wait to get to the range then the field to try out my newest rifle.

Welcome aboard, and Hello from W TN.
and congrats on the new Henry.

I ordered my first Henry rifle today.

welcome indeed .... delighted to have you join us .... we are from NC and spend our winters in Texas .... hogs are most certainly plentiful in the areas we have visited .... our Henry 44 Mag is one heck of a rifle, I have no doubt yours will not only be an effective hog rifle but will be fun to fire as well .... looking forward to your future range and use reports as you become better acquainted with it .... be sure to follow the link below to our How Many? thread where you can add your Henry to our community's total

Welcome from Nebraska. Glad to have another pig shooter join up. Good luck.

Welcome from Ca. You're going to like that Henry. Great caliber.

Welcome to the forum glad you joined us be sure to add that new 44 to our How Many thread when it arrives. The all weathers are great looking rifles.

Welcome and if you ever need any help with them hogs let me know!

Welcome from MS.

If I may, I suggest trying out a couple of the Underwood offerings, unless you load your own. I've been buying from them for several years, and in my experience they are quite bit more consistent (mv, accuracy, etc.) than the major manufacturers. You will get a longer range in the Henry than what is stated due to the longer barrel - likely around 1600-1700fps mv for a 300gr. Check it with a crony if you have access to one.

Good penetration too!!

Congrats on that .44 Mag rifle and welcome from Va. !
I have the steel .44 Carbine and it's a real handy package with plenty of power.
Underwood is great ammo too especially the 180 gr. 44 Mag load for small stuff!

I think you'll really like your 44 mag. My Henry BBB 44mag is fun to shoot and hunt with. It works well on the feral hogs in ENC.

Congrats on that new Henry rifle and welcome from the TV, Oregon!
