I put a Skinner peep sight on mine, one hundred yards in easy shot now. The sight fits the bolt pattern and uses the front sight.

[@denisdegamon8224]

I have a 45 colt big boy. I would like to add a Skinner rear peep site on the receiver. It has the standard buckhorn rear and front site. Will I have to replace the front site ( taller front) to zero the rifle?

[@williamwright5964]

I was browsing at the local gun shop and saw/handled one of these. It was all over for me. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since. Thanks for posting this video.

[@jamesleasure8836]

It might not be everyone's first choice for home defense, but it's what I'm leaning towards. I always loved the idea of a Henry Big Boy carbine being my first gun purchase.

[@SimonSundebt]

How's it been for you? Yo get yo shoot it yet?

[@treedoor]

The gun you want to go shooting with, the gun you want to practice with, the gun you like keeping around... That's the one you want when the chocolate hits the fan.

[@D5quared91]

10 rounds of .357 magnum with the added power the carbine length barrel gives is NOTHING to sneeze at. This could be a VERY effective home defense gun.

[@subdawg1331]

I have the Henry "Big Boy" blued in 357 Mag goes with my GP100 in the same love them both... I do not shoot nothing other than 357 mag..and I actually scoped mine because now it is my go to rifle here at my Homestead

[@snowgorilla9789]

Love it from Canada but up here they are only a very few each year and you have to "know" someone to get one. Waited over two years and my someone got a Rossi 92 in and told me to come on down before it sold. I did and I bought and love it but still want the Henry

[@JR15A2]

So, you guys are still allowed to have certain guns up there? I'm surprised Justin Castreau hasn't yet sent the military door-to-door to confiscate them.

[@joshuagibson2520]

I shot lefty for 4 decades. But for the last 5 years I have shot open sighted long guns right handed. It took a long time to actually feel comfortable. Today it's like 2nd nature to me. I'll probably go see the eye doctor one of these days, but I dont regret learning to shoot right handed.

[@KRSH_2]

My husband bought me one for Christmas. Can't wait to try it out

[@papajeff5486]

Justin, I got aggravated by my sight degradation because all my life, before age 42, I had extraordinary vision, much better than 20-20. Then at age 42 my near vision went bad and has only gotten worse. Now, at age 68, even my far vision is going bad. I just shake my head…Thanks for sharing…from east Tennessee.

[@sexton164]

Justin you Old Rock Music Hippie, Outstanding video and review of the Big Boy 357mag. Keep up the great work.

[@todddewell6314]

Reminds me of my I love lever actions!! Thank-you..

[@ronmartblog]

Super jealous! That Henry is so much fun

[@Stan_L]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@pepperspray4144]

The Henry rifle was nicknamed that to the 1873 Winchester carbine this itself was a compliment from Mr Winchester to Benjamin Tyler Henry the supervisor and gunsmith who added extra credits to this gun's final completion. But the reality is there never has been a Henry rifle manufactured on its own as a Henry rifle. And as we all know John Moses Browning had so many patents in collaboration and sold to Winchester to make this manufacturer one of the greatest of all times. Moving forward to the year 2018 when the prestigious surname Henry was purchased as a brand trademark . There is no Associated engineering or collaboration from Winchester manufacturing to this new firearm which by the way is sweet and perfect in its own right. I purchased the 1873 Golden Boy named in play of the yellow boy that the Indians had nicknamed and it is one fine jewelry and 22 magnum carrying 14 in the tube what a beautiful accurate and effective Survival Rifle this is or just itself is a plinker wow!. I share your love for this new manufacturer which is making some of the best Firearms we've ever seen that we see in this new modern era. When I was 10 years old in 1970 my dad has set me up to shoot the 3030 which really pounded the crap out of a skinny little kid I shot it twice and said dad can I just shoot the 22 and you said sure.

[@user-nc3pt7zc3c]

My Wife bought me one a few years ago before they put the side loading gate. Its tube fed. Put a set of Skinner peep sights and w/158gr lead soft points is a tack driver up to 100yds. Love it..

[@JeepsCafe]

I love my Henry Bigboy 357. Of course you get a thumbs up and a like bud. I enjoy your vids, thank you for a great job!

[@RichB804]

Great video. I love mine. Great rifle.

[@loulunetta425]

My Henry Big Boy is my favorite range toy! ,38 SPL or .357 it is such a soft, accurate shooter. Wish it had a peep site though.

[@uniglez5264]

Great video. I really enjoy watching these lever action carbines, the manual connection between the user and the machine, so much more satisfying like driving a car with a manual transmission

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Good comparison. That's why my Camaro is a 6-speed MT!

[@williamwright5964]

Agreed! I much prefer to interact with the machine than to have things done automatically.

[@danielhess39]

Great video!👍🏼

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Thanks!

[@darkdaze3860]

Hey Justin. Yep, saw all those wasps buzzing around! I would have had to break out wasp spray for sure! Beautiful rifle.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

I have a "live and let live" policy when it comes to insects and critters in general. I was pleased that they seemed to share my philosophy.

[@TranslateToEnglish]

There’s them ducks!😂😂😂

[@stever8776]

Wow! Finally a side gate Henry pistol caliber! I already own 2 Rossi 1892s and an Uberti 1873 in 357 magnum. This is a little expensive but so was my Uberti. Looking forward to seeing these at my local gun store!

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

This side gate loads smoothly too. Maybe more so than the Uberti, but I'd have to compare (hmm... future project?)

[@stever8776]

​@@JustinOpinionChannel You'd love the Uberti. I have the short rifle (20" octagon barrel) in .357. Beautiful fit and finish with color cased receiver!

[@PurrsPlace]

Talk about some shooting - nicely done, Justin! Especially given the circumstances! With that heavier octagon barrel, those .38 Specials hardly seem to move the rifle at all. Sweeeet! Is the kick noticeably different or did you shoot only .38 Special? =)

[@curtislong1987]

👍👍

[@scottdejong5298]

I really want a lever action!

[@ericbergfield6451]

I'd like to try one before I buy one. Cool factor aside, I have minimal experience with lever actions, back when I was a kid, with an air-rifle

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

You'll feel just like that kid again!

[@ericbergfield6451]

LOL, so true!@@cheezmo2k

[@blackie1of4]

If you pick one up in your local gun shop.. you'll be purchasing it! Just saying.. from experience 😜 Great review brother

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

I think we all know that curse all too well!!

[@cathymuehring893]

Justin, Im a new qwner of a Henry 357 in steel . I also bought the bucket of Remington 38sp , comes out to about 65 cents a shot with tax. I know Henry doesnt recomend those 130 gr and I have some jams with Winchester loads. Are the Rems working ok for you ? Im going to order a Skinner peep sight. Wearing glasses doesnt work for me with buckhorn. Thanks.

[@scottsmith4710]

Justin, did Sig Sauer find your name and address yet so you can review the new Legions?

[@warrenharrison9490]

Had a Henry .45-70 for less than a month, traded it in, no stores local to me stocked ammo and it's a pricey round to start with, top it off with the poor fit and finish with a razor sharp rear of bolt and it also came missing the brass front bead in sight. It wasn't a hard decision to let it go.

[@gaetanomaximus8650]

Just wondering about the home defense aspect of a lever-action rifle... Do you leave the gun loaded so all you have to do is cycle through a round? Or do you leave it unloaded and, in a moment of panic, try to shove a bunch of bullets into it? Either one seems problematic to me.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

This would be a good discussion topic!

[@philliplatham4256]

👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️💯💯🔫🔫🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ragnarmjolnir9654]

Mo better?

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

much!
