FIRST POST
got a question about hunting rifles. now, i don't know much at all about hunting, or guns, but i am willing and trying to learn. hopefully, by the time my as-yet-unborn son gets of age, i'l be ready to take him hunting myself. anyway, i was wondering how good a hunting rifle a lever action Henry rifle would be, starting out with a .17, and then to a .22, and on up to a .45 caliber. the reason i ask is because i heard a lot of good things about henry rifles, and pretty keen on the fact that they're made right here in the US. also, i must humbly admit that price has to be taken into account. i'm not looking for the cheapest guns, just the best overal, when used for hunting, home, family and self defense, and maybe even triple duty as a cowboy action rifle. just not sure if i can pry the checkbook open enough to get that much out of it for all the guns i want, let alone talk the wife into them all.
any hints, tips or suggestions are more than welcome.
