Bought my first Henry
I 'm new here, (first post). Yesterday, at the urging of a friend who owns a Henry 44mag, I purchased an H001TM. Its on the way as I had to order it. I live out in the AZ desert and raise goats for milk so I need a rifle with some range. I went to a shop in Prescott that had one and well, the first time I put it to my shoulder I knew it was the rifle for me. The lever action was so smooth and the weight, that was the real deal clincher because in contrast to other .22 rifles I have had and hefted, the Henry Octagon really feels like its there.
I came back to the farm here and found this forum. I'm glad I did because I've already gleaned a lot of info. I look forward to being part of the Henry Rifle Forum. Thanks Dave for all your help getting registration sorted out!

Re: Bought my first Henry
Thanks very much Deadwood Dutch! I'm just researching cleaning kits online. Seems like Hoppe's looks good. I have to get everything for my new rifle because I haven't owned a firearm for many years.

Congrats on your first Henry!
And Welcome from the Show-Me-State! Glad you found the Forums, and I know you'll enjoy your visits.
Oh yes, you mentioned Hoppe's cleaning supplies. I use them, and works well for me. Also sure there are other Henry Folk that have used it, too. Good start!

@PT7,
Lets see, "Show Me State", Thats Missouri isn't it? My great grand pap was from there and my mother too. Thanks for the welcome!
@RetiredSeabee,
I purchased a .22mag octagon barrel I think its in their "Frontier" series. Its my friend has the .44mag and its a beautiful firearm yup but its a little overpowered for my needs here on the farm.
@ditto1958,
Thanks!
