[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1058331, member: 14668"] My sugestion would be to do a Google search for local FFL's (Federal Firearms Licensees) in your area. FFL's can order, ship, and receive guns thru the mail or UPS and do the necessary background checks on you the customer. They will also be able to answer any questions you may have about what sort of rifle you will want to buy. Henry makes a "Golden Boy" lever action rifle in .22 that is basically a smaller and lighter version of what you see in the movies. It uses .22LR ammo which is cheap, quiet, available anywhere, fun to shoot and has minimal recoil. The full-sized guns are normally chambered in .45 Long Colt (which was also widely used in handguns of that era) .44 Magnum, or .30-30 Winchester. These calibers are far more expensive to shoot and require hearing protection. The "30-06" cartridge you mentioned was not invented until 1906 and it was only used in military bolt action rifles, not Henrys. Henrys are high-quality, made in USA guns. I hope to own one someday.
