I haven't checked the market lately, but why not just get some surplus ammo cans? They are great for lots of application, including storing ammo ( what a concept!). They last forever....

If you decide to buy, be sure to call and ask about getting one with light wood. The pictures on their website are representative, but not the exact rifle you would be getting. I'd pay their extra $10 "hand select" fee and have them pick you out the best of the lot with the light wood you like. Ask them if they will do that. The hand pick person might prefer dark wood and hand pick you something that HE likes, not what YOU like. So ask about getting what YOU want.

Remember there will be shipping cost added to the cost of the rifle. I'd estimate about $25. And they have to ship to a local FFL in your area where you then go pick it up. Most FFL's charge about $20 for that service. Some will do it for less. So when that $69 price gets you drooling, it will actualy come out a bit over a hundred when all is said and done. Still, pretty darn cheap!

You should see some of the surplus rifles being pawned off around here. Most of them look like 1000 year old logs freshly pulled out of a swamp.

My groups stunk big time I havent shot much but Im learning! I really need to replace the sights with techsights or even a cheapo scope.

Hey Izzy Id suggest against henrys and go with brownings instead. The henrys I looked at were poorly put together and the wood always wiggled a concerning amount.

For the added price Im sure it will last you a lot longer then a henry. The henrys I looked at were all new the browning i looked at was used at a gunshow and still felt a lot better then he henrys which felt more like cheap BB guns then 22 rifles.
