Just bought a Golden Boy

I'm left handed and I prefer lever action rifles; particularly for shooting small game, and when you have multiple targets. I have several scoped lever actions, because I have trouble working a bolt without looking down at the action. I can unload a lever action without taking my eye off the scope/iron sights.

I prefer the ubiquity of 22lr ammo. The magnum can a bit harder to find, like it was after Sandy hook. But if I found a nearly new Henry for a third of retail, tyeah I'd snap it right up. Hard to believe the seller couldn't have gotten at least $450 for it. It's reliability and retail value would make me interested, even if I didn't otherwise want that particular shootin' iron.

Anyways, I hunt deer with a scoped lever action; so I am definitely a fan of the platform. And small game is a continuous prospect. Whereas deer only come up for 2 months out of the year.

I have an excellent recipe called "squirrel for two."
