Morning,
New to the forum, New to Henry ownership, New to lever. Headed to LGS in a little bit to pick up (ordered) a .44 in steel carbine. Should make a fine truck/camper/UTV gun. Might hang a set of skinner sights-will see how the buckhorn does with old eyes. I had taken the scope off my AR and went to back to the ghost ring and worked fine.
PS I did add my new Henry to the forum total, and the weather here is cloudy and 57. LOL

Enjoy that Henry.

Hi. Also a newbie here. Sounds like we bought the same rifle: BBS .44 Mag (H012R). I am Very please with my new/first Henry. Also considering an optic solution to help these 67 year old eyes. The semi-buckhorn just won't do it for me. Take care & have fun.

Welcome from Ca. Idaho, great place to be. Wondering if your .44 will be your only Henry? Again, welcome.

JEBar-
To answer you- yes a hunter, not I don't roll my own-reload. Always wanted to get to that point, and now I am jettisoning more stuff than aquiring Said the guy with a new gun.....
It all started with the youngest son having trouble finding an AR (at a price he was willing to pay) and me tired of having multiple calibers/platforms, and a storage issue. So the AR went to the son, two "fun boxes" of ammo and mags to both sons and sold off multiple others. Now just a 9mm and the afore mentioned .44.

outside of the largest bears, within its range, a 44 Mag is a great big game hunting caliber .... over the years we've taken black bear, boar and deer with 44's .... the good news is one has a considerable range of ammo available to pick from .... looking forward to future range reports and use impression as you become better acquainted with your Henry

Very true!
When I used to bear hunt, most of the club members carried 44's. Only a mis-placed shot would not drop any size bear. Bear shots are hardly ever long range.
