I just checked in at the Henry rifle forums page, and found out I won their latest contest.
I didn't just win, I won the grand prize.
A Henry American Eagle rifle, M.S.R.P. $950!
I don't know yet how I'm to collect this, but I'm stoked about it anyway!
At this point it might be more efficient if you only tell us about the raffles you DON'T win.
I have had some unbelievable luck on raffles in the past couple of years.
I won't even try to deny that.
Well crap.
I just found out that Mr. Imperato will NOT be at the Henry booth this year, so I am not going to get the chance to thank him in person for the new American Eagle rifle, or for producing my beloved Henry .327fed/mag.
Henry customer service told me he will be attending the dinner, but that is on Thursday, and is $85 a pop!
I wasn't planning on being there until Saturday, and really didn't want to drop $85 for dinner.
Too bad, I really would have liked to shake his hand.
Congrats, Sir. That's a fine looking rifle. My Henry rimfires are the smoothest cycling lever actions I own, and I have some worth much more than the Henry. My 327 Henry Carbine is not near as smooth, but it's not broken in yet.

I also jumped on the .327 Big Boy steel as soon as I could lay my hands on one.
It was not even broken in when I bought a second one, just for a backup...LOL
Do love my Henry's.
