Started shooting in 1960 and haven't stopped since
Can't shoot the big stuff any more so I decided to get a .22WMR rifle this year. Talk about lousy timing! Been looking for months in local shops (all of New England!) and finally found a Golden Boy .22 magnum in Arkansas! Now I have to wait for all the silly paperwork to be processed...and, of course, it's been 75 degrees all weekend!

Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Hey Dan. Welcome from Nebraska. Yeah, we feel your pain. I am simply biding my time waiting for the next rifle. Enjoy yours.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Dan, welcome to the forum from Tennessee. Enjoy your new Henry.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Re: Another new old guy!
Well, two day shipping from the seller to my local shop has turned into five day shipping...then I still have to wait for my background check to process...maybe by Christmas? Oh well, I'll have time to search for ammo in the meantime...

Welcome to the forum from south Louisiana. I hope you find some reasonably ammo for it in the meantime.
Re: Another new old guy!
Actually, I just did! .22WMR at 2019 prices! They sold out while I was on the phone ordering!

Re: Another new old guy!
Good deal, I am glad to hear that since most ammo these days is difficult to find or priced very expensively!
Re: Another new old guy!
Got all the papers signed today! Should have it in my grubby hands next Tuesday!

Re: Another new old guy!
Picked it up today! Gotta say, I like it! It's a good companion for my Winchester 1894 in 30-30.
I ordered another butt stock so I can chop it up to make a cheek comb so I can attach a scope and still be comfortable...a good Winter project for me. I'll leave the original stock original except for a couple of threaded screw adapters to accommodate the new cheekpiece.
Here's the new baby!:

Re: Another new old guy!
Beautiful rifle. I flipped it on its end so it would display in the proper perspective.
