New member from Georgia

Post by bluestringer » Sun Dec 29, 2019 11:48 am

I'm a 68 year old male. I own several guns and have been shooting since I was a young boy. I use to hunt, but gave it up many years ago. I still shoot and belong to a range here in my area of South Georgia. I have been wanting a Henry rifle quite a while and just picked up a used Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine in 357 magnum. Hope to join in here and learn more about it.

Welcome to the HRF. You probably already know this, bluestringer, but even as the second owner of a Henry, they will fully service your Henry, if needed. That's just as if you were a customer who bought a brand new one from them. Their CS is outstanding. That .357 BBS Carbine is a great first Henry to have.....Enjoy.

Hey Blue! Welcome from Nebraska. I too, bought a lightly used BBSC 357. I love it. It has taken 2 whitetail so far. Enjoy your shooting and tell us about it.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Welcome from KC! As you've seen from the responses above, there are a lot of 357 Henry owners here, so you've got company, that's for sure.

Please keep us posted on how you're doing with it and don't be afraid to jump in on any topic!
