    Well not yet but had a ruger single six and security six revolvers that I didn’t shoot much. Traded both in for a Henry 22 rifle and a walther p22. P22 is going to be something that my wife is comfortable shooting. Hopefully they will be in Friday.

    Did you get the Golden Boy with the octagonal barrel? I've owned several Henrys now, the latest being the Long Ranger in 223/556. My Golden Boy 22LR has the smoothest lever action of them all, is silly accurate, and a complete hoot. Not to mention, the wood on it is every bit as pretty as what Henry uses on their Big Boy options. Congratulations, I think you'll really enjoy it!

    My Henry .22LR carbine is one of my favorite .22 shooters. Silky lever action and accurate enough to make me look good! Great rifle!!!

    Just the basic h001, with a wife and almost two year old, spending on my toys are very little.

    One Henry leads to more than one Henry very easily. One becomes two, then you start looking at more.

    Truer words have never been spoken.
    I bought my first Henry right here on Ingo. A used H001, basic blued .22lr.
    Even used, it was the smoothest action of any of my lever guns.

    Two years later I won a Henry Frontier model in .22WMR with the octagon barrel at my local FNRA banquet.
    Then I heard Henry was going to make a lever action .327 Federal magnum, and I HAD to get one!
    The .327fed/mag ended up being everything I had expected, and then some.

    Then, at my local range, I saw a Henry Big Boy (rental) with the octagon barrel and brass frame, chambered in .357mag.
    I asked if they would sell it and they gave me a stupid low price, so I bought it too!

    Just less than 3 years ago I had no Henry's. Now I have 4, and Ive got my eyes open for deals on more of them.
    That Long Ranger sure looks good...

    Those are great rifles. My dad has a .357 Big Boy. It has the sweetest action I've ever felt and it's very accurate.

    Not to hijack the thread, but for those thinking about the Long Ranger, I'm ecstatic with mine. Outstanding fit-and-finish. The picture below is from after I brought it home from my FFL. This is the 223/556 model with iron sights. It now sports a 3x12 scope that I still need to sight in beyond my laser bore tool, a bipod, and sling. Had a chance to shoot it a couple weekends ago with open sights, and it was crazy fun and accurate, with a pretty smooth lever action. You have to be a bit ascertive when cycling the lever, but it's smooth. The only odd thing about the Long Ranger model is that the bolt does NOT come out like it does with Henry's other lever guns. Which is OK, the barrel and breach face got dirty, as well as the face of the bolt where the firing pin comes out. But otherwise, the bolt was pretty spotless.

    Picked it up yesterday and after eating I hit the range. Target picture is 15 rounds each at 12,14,16, and 18’ starting bottom tight going up and then bottom left.
