My wife and I were given our first levergun as a wedding present last week, a Henry .22 Mag Golden Boy. She absolutely loves it. I wish it was something that could be reloaded, but I can't complain about a gift!

Mine isn't a Golden Boy but I really like it. Slick as a whistle!
Had a chance to shoot the H001 22lr and was very surprised how smooth the action was. Made up my mind right then I needed the H001M
Another Henry fan. I have the H001 and a Golden Boy.
who says you can't load for it. use the search box and you will find all kinds of threads on reloading 22lr, some even have photos. I have to admit its kind of pointless to reload 22lr because its cheeper to buy it now, but who knows what the future will bring.
Beats the hell out of a toaster!!!

Congrats on the wedding!
What Tex said!
Good way to introduce your bride to the Shooting Sports.
Besides a new bride you may have also acquired a new shooting partner.
lol she's not new to it. She shoots about 500+ rounds of 9mm a month, and a handful of other rounds. We go shooting every week. But it is nice to have a permanent shooting partner!

I know I 'can' load 22 lr and 22mag, but I feel it is kinda pointless. I do save the brass, but it's more because I like to melt it down and make things out of it.

Get her a lever that shoots 38's and 357's. Then watch the lead fly. JW
Congratulations!
I've got a Henry H012 in 44 Mag - it is super fun to shoot. I shoot everything from trailboss to 296 in it. The Henrys shoot great.
The first thing she said to me on the way home from shooting the golden boy the first time is that we should get matching Mares Legs.

Sounds like a keeper!
Both of them!
Don't nock toasters! Toasters make good targets [don't ask me how I know]
Excellent gift enjoy I like the 22 mag buy in bulk save money and shoot allot.
I have the octagon with the suppressor ready threaded barrel. May even spring for the star stamp and then a suppressor.
If you shoot a lot, it will be less expensive to trade it for a .327 or .38/.357 lever action and shoot reloads. Might be tough trading a wedding present but it is what I would do.

Any difference in cost between loading for a 38/357 and a 22LR is not even close to being worth the hassle of reloading. Buy a lot of 22's in bulk in case of a shortage again but I question whether that will happen in the near future.
DEP
But, .38 and .357 is so much more fun!
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
