WHAT HENRY RIFLE(S) ARE YOU CONSIDERING PURCHASING DOWN THE LINE

I have no plans to purchase another Henry any time soon .... fully realizing my absolute and final plan are subject to change at any second, I've been considering what I'd probably purchase next .... here again with the subject to change at any second proviso firmly in play, here's my current list :

Top Choice ... a H012MAW 357 stainless .... if that purchase was to take place, it would soon be followed by a Ruget SP101 357

Second ... a H012MR327 327 carbine .... I must admit that reading the growing number of positive reports about the 327 has me intrigued .... its not a caliber I'm familiar with .... the only use I can think of for a 327 is to play with .... historically, that's been sufficient reason for me

Third .... a H002B AR-7 22 .... no need for one but they do intrigue me

Lastly, in the I'd really like to have one but they don't make one in a caliber I'd buy, a Long Ranger .... one in 308 would be the only caliber I'd have any interest in whatsoever .... already owning a 308 BLR puts it out of consideration .... if they ever add calibers, I'd most certainly take a close look

If I continue to improve from hip replacement surgery well enough to demonstrate that I can walk into and out of the woods in order to try my hand at hunting, I've got a SGC in WMR and a Single shot 20 gauge shotgun in my very near future. The shotgun will be used for Turkey and the SGC WMR will be used for Coyote (which I would be thrilled to hunt simply to reduce the population). But first, I'll attempt Squirrel hunting with my H001. If, after that, I determine that I'm not up to the rigors of hunting, well... my H001 and H006M will very likely become my entire Henry collection and all of my shooting will be confined to a shooting range.

Most likely a .44 magnum lever action.

Big Boy Steel All Weather Carbine in 38/357 mag as soon as Henry sees fit to produce it.

I'm not hunting this year, don't know if that is permanent, so I don't need another centerfire rifle.

I don't collect things, so I only buy something when there's a legit need.

I pretty much have all the airguns and rimfire rifles I need.

One gun I would like to pickup is an accurate rimfire pistol. After using every kind of nail polish color/combination on the front/rear sites, and different reading glasses for years, I have finally decided I CAN"T STAND the sites on my Heritage Rough rider.

Was considering a ruger revolver (single6/10), but right now leaning towards the Browning Buckmark.

I have the single six and I have owned the buckmark. The buckmark was good but I like the new Mark IV Ruger 22/45 ultra light with a burris fastfire mounted on top. Its a hoot to shoot and the red dot makes it really fun. Just thought Id pass that along.

Im waiting to see if Henry comes with a 38-55 in a CCH. I have thought about a single shot but just dont really need one as Im just really more into the levers. Also thought about a BBB in 41 mag carbine as I really like the way the carbines handle. Al

I was planning to make my next Henry purchase an 1860 Original in .45 Colt. I will be putting that on hold for some time. I am saving as much money as I can for our next life adventure.

Last month, I did rescue a Henry from the used rifle rack. It is honestly, the ONLY used Henry I have ever seen for sale in a shop. That is some testament to Henry I think. If I get a chance this weekend, I'll share it. It's only issue that is visible is a banged up front stock. A shame, but a rescue is a rescue.

I am also looking at getting an 1860 henry after the new year. It will also be in 45cal. I will have to drive into Penn. to buy it because NYS doesn't like the 13 shot tube it has. That's a no no here. My sun in-laws brother is a state police and doesn't think anyone will brother me with it.

I don't think I'll be buying any firearms soon as I have too many already. Plus I'm having too much fun breaking Christmas lights.

Lets see... I have 2 more Henry's on my current want list (subject to change at any moment).
1) HO15-223 Single shot in .223
2) H004 (M) Golden Boy. Can't decide if I want in 22lr or 22Mag? I don't have any 22mag Henry's.

I think I've satisfied my gun buying itch for this year. I have to pick up a Henry 45/70 steel that just arrived at my local gun shop. I have a Colt Cobra .38 Spec. and a 3.75" .45 Colt S.S. Ruger Blackhawk Bisley on order from Kentucky Gun Co. Maybe next year a Henry carbine in .45 Colt.

I would buy a lever action 12 gauge in a heartbeat.
But I guess I'll settle for an octagon barrel .22 Magnum

Hey Big Al, and yes the mark 4 is also a fine gun and being considered. I like the aggressive angle of the grips on the mk4 and buckmark (Luger) while the mk4 45 version has a more verticle grip (colt).

I have to time to research though.
