Thank you for your assistance, I bought my first 22 rifle last night, the Henry Model H001. Not a pretty as the Golden Boy, but as capable.
Next will be a Ruger 10/22. I like the woodsocks, but I also like the chrome (?) barrel. Any expertise on the difference between the models of Ruger 10/22 are welcome.
Took my new Henry to the range. It was great shooting .22 lr out of that gun.
I have not seen any of those nice looking bolt action 22s around, but much of the fun is in the hunt. Thank you.
