Welcome from the plains of Dacotah, great group here to visit with.
Thanks for having me. I'll try not to be the FNG and do a search before I ask questions. ;) Seems like a nice place.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Welcome!!! Be careful, there are a bunch of enablers here.
I've noticed that forums of this type do tend to be "enabling". I know if I have too much fun with this Small Game rifle, I might just get talked into a bigger one. :shock:


Thank you for your indulgence,

Welcome from MS. As for enabling, I only have 2 Henry's. A BBSC in .41mag, which was my deer getter for a few years - don't hunt no more. And a .22mag Frontier. Both great rifles.

Welcome. Small Game Carbine is a great 22 to have alot of fun with. I would think you could drift the front sight a little to get what you are after target wise
Thanks! I can already tell this rifle was a good purchase. I was wondering whether to futz with the front sight at all. Remind me, do I need to move the front sight in the opposite direction when adjusting the POI?

Welcome. Good choice on the SG rifle.
Thank you! Yes, this one just checked all the boxes for me. Is "SG" part of the nomenclature? Can I use "SGR" as shorthand for the Small Game Rifle? ;)

I hope you guys don't talk me into buying a .357 magnum. :lol:

Thank you! I'm trying hard to resist another caliber platform. I'm already stocking five different cartridges. I suppose if I went .357 magnum I could use that in a Henry and a revolver. That wouldn't be so bad, right? Don't tempt me! ;)

Lot's of guys pair rifle and pistol, so you'd be in good company. Here's mine, the .41mag Henry with Ruger NMBH. Bought the Ruger long before I picked up the Henry.

Welcome from the eastern side of the state of Washington. Love your “one of” theory. You will find many of us here understand Medicare. :lol:
