That's good news for Canadians.

Pics! The rifle fit the scabbard perfectly. Nice and snug, no movement at all. Matches the brass on my saddle. Later on I'll post pics on a horse. These photos are on my practice roping cow "Spruce".

They look great, RanchRoper. Thanks for the pictures.

On the horse. Just went for a short ride to see how it all fits. I tried it rear mounted instead of forward like the earlier pics. Seems ok. Fits real snug with no movement. Didn't interfere with horse or my leg. I want it on the side I dismount so I can get to it easy.

It all looks beautiful together and I am sure you will have many hours of enjoyment with your new rifle. How does the horse like it?

[RanchRoper]

He didn't say much. He always calls me when it's breakfast or supper time though.
Thanks to everybody who helped out with input. I made the right choice for model and caliber. Feel pretty good about it.

Does he call you by a pet name, or simply "Waiter..."?

Translated it's probably "hey stupid".

I often use that pet name for my cat! It's a term of endearment.

Here's another pic.
So last night my wife and I were having supper in Calgary before heading home, and I get talking to a guy who turns out to be a cowboy action shooter who lives not too far from me. Strange that I just bought a rifle a few hours earlier. Anyhow, they have a match on June 24th and he invited me out to see it and meet his group. Some local rancher hosts it at his place. BBQ and all.
He did mention though that Henry's aren't fast enough for CAS but I think the Henry will be faster than me so it won't much matter.

RanchRoper the guns those fellows are using have probably been worked over for the game. They likely have short throw levers & they run VERY light loads through them. It's a game & those modifications give an advantage to the game. Give them full power loads & your Henry will compete with the best of them.
Same with the handguns they use VERY light loads, & the mounted CAS use blanks to pop the balloons not real ammo, give them 850fps .45 Colt loads & they likely wouln't have any advantage with their reworked six-guns.
But is is a shooting sport & therefore is good for shooters in general. It sells guns, ammo,leather, & generates interest in shooting.
This makes it a very good game.

I think it's great that you will have it in the saddle with you.

That's a great photograph.
