Another noob (to rifles) from PA

Post by Auriemma » Sun Nov 26, 2017 12:30 pm

Hi all. I’ve been shooting pistols since Feb. of this year. Started with a Tanfoglio Witness PS 9mm, added a 22LR conversion to it, then decided to step up. Picked up a Sig P320RX in 9mm (recently upgraded by Sig), then replaced the Tanfoglio with a Beretta 92A1. After a weekend in the mountains on a “shootem’up” weekend, and shooting a wide variety of pistol and rifles, I decided I needed a rifle, just for plinking and targets. So my wife buys me a Henry Golden Boy 22LR as a birthday/Xmas present. I took it to the range (indoor 25 yards) this morning and after sighting it in, I am very pleased. My 9mms barely left the bag.

Hoping to learn and get better from here.

Welcome from Central VA. I started my Henry journey with a Golden Boy as well. Wasn't long before I found the .357 Carbine whispering my name....
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
