Howdy, First time Henry buyer

Post by Heeli0s » Sun Apr 19, 2020 8:36 pm

Howdy,

Coming to you from Central Texas.

I purchased my first Henry Rifle this weekend, and picking it up tomorrow. I spent a great deal of time looking for what fit me best. I purchased a big boy, 357mag. Im a little old school in my taste with a fascination with revolvers, lever action, and bolt action.

This particular rifle was purchased to complement my 357 revolver, but with the purpose of being an all around ranch gun. Outside of target practice, it will mainly be used as a predator gun, and back up home defense.

Great to be here and meet yall

Hey Herlios! Welcome from Nebraska. You bet the 357 is the all around rifle. You’ll find a lot of us here. Love my 357! Best all around caliber you can shoot. You will like the options when you start to reload. Welcome again.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

The Security six is what I have to pair with the new family member as well. Trusty little feller.
