Howdy Henry Folks, its good to be here

[kamml]

I have been a gun nut for over 50 some odd years. I am not a serious collector, but I have a couple from 22 rimfire through 444 Marlin and some 50 cal black powder rifles. I load my own from time to time and that includes 12 and 20 gauge too. I was an avid deer hunter 10 years back or so but after my last assignment to eastern Europe I just can't seem to find the energy anymore. Still I will give it a try again this Friday since I still enjoy getting out in the woods. I have a wife and a couple of little ones to take care of so my time is precious. I have been a long time Marlin guy and still enjoy them. But Henry has my attention now. Back when I was a lot younger both Marlin and Remington were fine firearms, not so much anymore. My next 30-30 will be a Henry. I just picked up a Long Ranger in 6.5 CRD I like the drop box magazine and a lever action. Sort like the Winchester 88 I never had so many years ago. It joins my Weatherby 6.5 and my home built 6.5 on a Savage 111 action with a Bison Gun Works stainless barrel. Both are good shooters and from what I read about the model I expect the Henry won't let me down either. I have a couple of hunting compounds and a crossbow. String and sticks are fun but they are like golf, you have to practice all the time to get any good at them. BTW I live in the great state of TN near Knoxville. Ya'll come to the Smokeys and Dollywood someday soon.
