[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4183072, member: 14646"] So, I got the Henry today. Funny backstory that made me finally pull the trigger on it this morning. Been wanting one of these 44 mag lever guns for some time. Really had heart set in a Win 1894 but they are spendy. My wife apparently has been struggling with gifts for me for Christmas. I've been also doing a lot of research on models of Benchmade knives and have explained they are great quality, very popular but are expensive. She saw me to a lot of searching around on BladeHQ website, etc. So this morning she was talking about and hinting at benchmade knives. Somehow I got out of here that she had one saved in the "cart". Managed to have her tell me it was the BM Narrows Titanium. Asked how much it was and she said $500. I lost my mind and said I'm not carrying around a $500 pocket knife no matter how great it is. That's crazy talk and just plain nuts. Told her I really didn't want her to spend that on knife. She then said, well, go buy that rifle you were looking at. Don't have to ask me twice. Went over to Frontier Justice and bought it. Price tag was $899 + tax. It sure is a sweet little rifle. Now looking on AG Ammo at the Hornaday 240gr XTP Hollow Point. Thought about the 225gr Leverevolution but prefer to go with more grains as I can use it also in my Colt Anaconda. Will be interesting to see how my old eyes work with the iron sights. Receiver is tapped for a mount. Have no idea if I'd be scorned and ridiculed for thinking about putting some sort of scope or sight on it but may have to look that direction. Or, better visibility iron sights. What would yall use/do? [ATTACH type="full"]438036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]438037[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
