Big Boy Brass Rifle in 357 Magnum / 38 Special from Henry® USA - Gunblast.com

[@speedyconcretepumper]

Henry’s action really smooth. Worth every penny!

[@JohnTBlock]

C'mon, Boge! Run that lever like ya MEAN IT!!

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Hahaha I was saying the same thing when the video started.

[@RichDoh64]

I had a brass in 44mag. Nice rifle. I have a blued steel in 357. Henry makes beautiful firearms.

[@dukenukem69]

Why'd you get rid of the brass? Just got this very rifle that he's reviewing. Smooth as can be. The pawn had the brass and your steel in 357 the only two 357s levers I've seen in a pawn shop in Henry/marlin/Winchesters. It was a tough choice and I went back between the two before I chose the brass, the main reason being the octagonal barrel. That Henry steel side gate felt really nice too, definitely more of a work horse and not as as classy as the brass, but I'd rather have the steel in the woods

[@chrisstandingbear1947]

I am new to lever-actions and bought a 20" Winchester in .357 a few months back. I know that more barrel length almost always means more velocity, but was not aware of how much more velocity the longer barrel gives this caliber until I shot one of my steel targets. Holy crap! I had to move back because it was basically no longer a handgun round but more of a rifle round. I was damaging the steel because it's not rated for rifle rounds, lol. I was using Underwood ammo and by my calculations, I think the bullet may have been getting close to 2,000 fps.

[@FMDad-dm5qo]

You can indeed get a 125 gr bullet .357 Magnum up around 2000 fps in a rifle length barrel. For perspective, that’s quite similar to the velocity of supersonic .300 Blackout in that same bullet weight. As Boge said, the .357 Mag cartridge is a whole different proposition in a long gun compared to a handgun. Yet you can also load a rifle like this up with mild .38 Special for plinking, introducing new shooters, or quiet vermin disposal. Makes a .357 lever gun super versatile and handy.

[@Steve-yo4ld]

Wow, what a beautiful pair! Having them makes you want to jump on your horse and ride off into the sunset! Thanks, Boge!✌️

[@buddylove9484]

Your are a tribute to your brother Jeff’s memory with the quality of work you put out on the GunBlast channel, I tip my hat to you Boge… God Bless!

[@mikelyon5595]

Thank you! Stay blessed!

[@micahrichey5335]

That’s a beautiful rifle!

[@Americanstruggle]

Absolutely love Henry. My sons first rifle was a 22lr Henry for his 12th birthday/jr high graduation present. Qe shot that thing all the time and he learned how tonbreakbit down and clean it. He wanted the fiber optic front sight so i installed it. He's not 23, playing his final year of D2 football while studying to be a vet. I don't see him much aside from football season. Needless to say, he still wants to shoot that Henry when he comes home to visit. Range days are important for a father son connection. I'm definitely installing a skinner peep sight as a surprise for his next visit

[@LarryeWhite61]

Thanks Boge 4 for the tips on the sights. I'm ordering this same rifle next week.

[@florentinomercado9470]

Very amazing review Boge God bless you be safe

[@Dayattherange]

Boge thank you for the video Henry is just as functional as they are flashy I absolutely love the Skinner sights they are the best in the business.

[@MAG-li5jo]

I have the old version without the side gate. I LOVE the thing, and it is an incredible rifle. I have my eyes on the Henry 30-30 with the side gate.

[@big-chill9058]

they look so good together

[@dfalconer2624]

Excellent video Boge Love the info on the sights Really learned something about the sights and will try to get some up here in Canada Thankyou

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Speaking of hunting big game, I've read on ammo review pages (Grizzly and others) where people have taken elk with a .357magnum in the heavy load, 180gr and 200gr with lever gun. I guess why not? No one would question a .35 caliber rifle.

[@jeffbruce5544]

Great video, agree with you on the Skinner Sights, great folks to deal with and all of their products are top notch. Keep up the good work Boge!!!!

[@daneboro6847]

What a great combo, would love to have both, thanks for the review Boge👍🙏

[@c5173]

good looking rifle and those brass sights are nice, very complementary

[@EroticOnion23]

I've heard the 16in for 357/38 is the best length, since once you get to 18in & beyond the bullet actually slows down precipitously due to friction and lack of powder in a pistol cartridge..

[@FMDad-dm5qo]

Greatly depends on the load and propellant you’re using. A typical high-end .357 Mag load using a slow, long legged powder like H110 or 296 is not much different from a small-case rifle cartridge, and is certainly not going to decline “precipitously” in velocity from 16” to 20”. That said, I’d still prefer a 16” for simple handiness.

[@EroticOnion23]

@@FMDad-dm5qo I mean, a bunch of people did tests and the 20in dropped like 200fps compared to the 16in so…

[@rickpullins8590]

Beautiful Rifle great video

[@hillbillyjimbo1732]

Very informative video, I know my thoughts are now confirmed! I bought the wife a .38 and Im buying a .357, the Henry rifle in .38/.357 would be perfect companion to them and thanks for the info on the skinner sights, that will be on the list, as well! Beautiful looking Henry, sir!

[@dominickfiorenza2639]

Awesome, love ur shows. Keep putting ur brother in at the end he be proud your doing that. GOD BLESS. From a old daygo wop in Pennsylvania 😇

[@DavidArnold-c8x]

HEY BOGE.O HAVE I HENRY 44 MAG BLUED STEEL RECEIVER BTO GO WITH MY SBH 44 MAG.BOTH VERY ACCURATE.GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL.TAKE CARE 🇺🇸

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

how did the old west it's got to swing out cylinder

[@trynsurviven2440]

Beautiful rifle and I really like the color combo of the sights you got. Right now I have a Henry Big Boy Model X in .357/38sp in lay a way. I plan on replacing the fiber optic sights with a rear peep sight and a more traditional front sight. Thank you for sharing this information.

[@joelhall5124]

They have these with the loading port now? Haven't seen any in the UK with this.

[@ntpastoraaron]

What brand of rear site is that and where did you purchase that and the rail?

[@adrianolombardi6833]

Magnifico fucile 👍👍👍grazie del video ciao 😊

[@lizzapaolia959]

Classy looking firearms. My husband and I just purchased two of their firearms. I don't know if we will actually shoot them or just keep them pristine in our collection. There manufactured extremely well, a piece of art. Thanks for sharing your excellent videos 🙏. God bless you and your family 🙏. God bless your brother as well 🙏 may be rest in peace. Know that you will see him again. Jesus Christ is our Savior ❄️🙏❄️

[@tubesurfing]

Is this the same from back in the day Gunblast that used to have the braided beard?

[@chuck_nasty817]

That's his brother. He passed away. RIP Jeff Quinn

[@peytonbuyers2953]

Why's your American flag pin upside down haha

[@Gunblastdotcom]

A flag flown upside-down is a distress signal. Our beloved Country is in trouble.

[@D5quared91]

These brass frame Big Boys weigh nearly as much as an M1 Garand!

[@EroticOnion23]

Apparently it's bronze+zinc, just polished to look like brass. Bronze alloy is much heavier than steel or brass (+ the octagonal barrel), it was used in old-school cannons like the 12lb-er Napoleons used by the Confederates...bronze doesn't rust like steel and should be more resistant to the elements.

[@andrewkiesling3334]

i bought a new .360 BH and am not impressed with my first henry rifle

[@MarlinWilliams-ts5ul]

Works of industrial art.

[@Sam-f7u6j]

About $1800 for the pair as of August 2024

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

that Henry revolver would be a lot better if it was made locking out Scofield Smith & Wesson top break I mean even if it could be double action still but just be top breaks that be awesome some kind of weird hybrid that kind of looks like a old west gun and but a modern gun too I don't I don't know about that and the brass is okay but hell for the money I want the brass hammer and a brass trigger too or I want it made like an old Schofield and it'll all be brass the whole thing bee brass plated will that be f****** awesome possum right there

[@FMDad-dm5qo]

Have never liked the brass receiver Henrys - looks toylike. But otherwise I really enjoy their centerfire lever rifles. Give me the low-key black/blued receiver or, better yet, the All Weather finish.

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

they look too modern they should have made them you know single Colt single action or even you know old Schofield top break

[@thehillbillygamer2183]

I don't like the Henry revolvers they're too modern going to swing out cylinder it was top break that would be awesome

[@tomhenry897]

Too $$

[@randalllong5502]

Over priced junk better off with a marlin

[@OldRaider]

Marlins now cost just as much.

[@casejasnoch2533]

lol if you like plastic sights. Buy a Marlin. Henry is the best.
