I have been off the site awhile. I have had some issues, but I doing fine now. And I am much better now that I have a new to me, Henry .44 in the house. I have been drooling over this one a while, and well, finally found one. I will try and not be such a stranger to the site in the future.
Of course, here is a picture.

Enjoy-enjoy.

When I bought my first Henry, a Big Boy Steel in .357, I had just come off the range and on the way out talked to the owner. He made me a new offer on the trade in they weren't going to give me enough for earlier in the day, and I decided right then to get the Henry. After the transaction was complete, I went right back to the range and ran a couple dozen rounds through it. I just couldn't wait for another day to try it out. Daughter and I came back the next day and gave it a good workout. We've been in love with it ever since.

Clovishound, great story. My next Henry, will be a .22. Undecided on which model, but it will be a .22 lever action.

Your presence on our forum was missed. Glad you're back and doing better. Not much a good Henry can't fix.

Welcome back glad your health is better. Henry therapy is prescribed. You must shoot at least 50 rounds to be fully cured.

All the more incentive to get the 22lr cheaper therapy sessions.

Welcome back.
Personally, I like my Henry Frontier .22LR as I just like the blued guns.
In your case though, a Golden Boy would be a nice match with that Big Boy .44!

White Squirrel, I thought about the Golden Boy, but I believe I am leaning more toward the Silver Boy. I have two Henry's, .44 and .45colt, both have the brass receivers. I am thinking that I would like the Silver Boy just to have a different finish. I really haven't made a decision, but I am leaning toward the Silver Boy.

Bottom line is, you can't go wrong with any of them. Just depends on what look you want.
The only requirement is when you get it we want pictures and a report on how you like it.
