New member. From Florida
Hi all. My name is Dave. I live in St Pete, Fl. Just bought my first Henry yesterday. It's the basic H001, but I call it gorgeous. Just retired so I have more time for squirrel hunting with my new 22. Probably will just use it for small game and plinking. Am now searching for an inexpensive scope. Any suggestions?
Re: New member. From Florida
Hey Ben, welcome to the family. Check out the scope and sight section for ideas on your scope. It seems the favorite is the old Weaver tube style. Good luck with your shooting and hunting.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: New member. From Florida
Welcome to the forum from CT, Dave, and congratulations on that new Henry. I put an inexpensive Simmons 4x scope on my H001 just after I bought it, but I'm strongly thinking of swapping it out for a Skinner Peep. Not that the Scope doesn't do the job -- it does --, but I have a Skinner Express on my Big Boy and really like it a lot.

Welcome to the forum. I love the old 7/8" tube Weavers but admit they aren't the most accurate. If you like the looks of the 1" tube go with a Nikon or similar.

Welcome from the Shenandoah Valley, VA. I'd recommend a Simmons 3-9X32 22 MAG rimfire for an inexpensive scope on a 22LR rifle. You can find them for about $50 at Midway or Optics Planet. We've got one on a Ruger bolt action 22LR and it works well...

Re: New member. From Florida
Welcome from the Land of Sugar! I second the Burris scope. I put one on my .327 Federal Mag BBS. I got the Burris Fullfield E1 2-7 X35mm. You can find them on the internet for about $160 if you're patient and wait for a sale. I think I'll get the Skinner Express on my next lever action.

Re: New member. From Florida
Florida? I grew up all over Florida. I lived down in the Keys and the Everglades, had family all over the Gainesville area, and went to a couple years of elementary and thru middle and a couple years of high school in your sister city of Tampa before eventually moving to VA. Still have a lot of family in the area and Dad still lives up in Pcola. We used to get down that way now and then for visits, and for fishing tourneys.
