got my smoke wagon

Post by Roland the Headless » Sun Apr 26, 2020 7:03 am

I have wanted a .327 rifle since the cartage was invented.
When the Henry came out their big boy I thought "well there is my huckleberry" but the cost was prohibitive at the time. :?
Well I got some cash squirreled away went to my LGS and now I have a .327 fed mag steel lever action long gun.
The guy behind the counter showed me a single 7.... it is mine now too
Something about the Henry ... makes me feel like James Stewart 8-)
the ruger, a six shooter that has seven shots!!! what am I, a handsome stranger in a cheesy western.
well thanks for having me
I will type more later

Roland, welcome to the forum. I have talked to a lot of people that think the 327 is the best round going. Let us know how it shoots.

Hello Roland, Welcome aboard from W. TN.
Nice pair of shootin' Irons, and hard to beat either. Congrats.
Have a buddy in St. Louis that has one of those Henrys and he loves it.
