I have the 45-70 version of this. Hunted one season with the open sights and really enjoyed it. Adding a Vortex Diamondback optic took it to the next level.

[@Hialeah1925]

How’s the recoil?

[@MDR-hn2yz]

@@Hialeah1925 I have the blued steel Henry 45-70. I don’t shoot the high power loads, but generally the low and medium stuff like the cowboy loads and Remington green box. It’s not bad at all. You get a nice butt pad and the rifle is solid. I would compare it to a 12 guage: you can load it down or up and the recoil goes along with the load. I took a doe this season with that rifle and she didn’t run far. I was surprised how little meat was lost to the 45-70. It was a thumb sized hole in and out. My.270 did more damage to the meat. The only modification I made was removing the rear sight and adding a Ranger Point Precision rear aperture sight. It’s awesome! I highly recommend Henry. And Ranger Point Precision sights.

[@intj2948]

There’s a recall for that gun. Just making you aware. Henry is working on the solution.

[@ronmartblog]

Skinner sights are the best for lever actions. I’ve tried buckhorn, Skinner and the Ranger Point Precision clover leaf on my levers, and the Skinner can’t be beat. I’ve done 200 yards at Snoqualmie with them on steel offhand with no issues once I get my bearings for the drop.

Pistol caliber carbines are just plain fun. Do some practical comparisons with bullet rise and drop over range, say out to 150 yards in 25 yard increments with your new rifle.

[@codyrivenburgh7645]

Plain fun and after some practice and testing can be really practical for a camping/ truck gun...if you are are a revolver guy and carry a 357 or 44 mag revolver all the time..and pair it with a lever gun in 357 or 44 mag...u have you every day pistol and and a long gun in the truck that both take the same ammo .

When you get around to handloading for the Big Boy, take a look at Accurate 11FS powder. In my opinion it's a better H110, cleaner burning and lower flash. And remarkably in these times, it can be found in stock.

I like that it can be loaded via the side gate or thru the tube. I'd be interested to see the velocity difference between the 20 inch and a 16 inch barrel. I think I'd go the peep sight route.

[@tranderrick]

357 is interesting in that its an old tech handgun load, its burning qualities are much different than let's say a 556, it maxes out in performance pretty much at 16 in, 20 in is for tube capacity and iron sight accuracy. if you intend to shoot iron sight, 20 is pretty much needed for 100-150 yard accuracy. With a 16 im pretty maxed out to 80-100 on irons but my 20 i can get 140-160.

We recently ran a 30-30 Henry X model through the paces. It has a threaded barrel. We've been loading at both the sub-sonic level and at over 2400 fps with it. Really nice "tactical" sort of lever action. Henry also makes one in 357 which would be terrific for that purpose.

[@bruceinoz8002]

There is nothing wrong with "texture" in a hard-chromed barrel. The chrome is applied directly to the steel substrate, as opposed to "decorative" chrome as used to be found all over car bumpers, etc. Under a microscope, the surface looks like a field of odd-shaped shiny mushrooms. The interesting thing about this "texture" is that it provides a much smaller surface contact and thus, less friction, as the bullet travels over it. Contrary to popular belief, Chrome lined barrels still need proper cleaning, because the propellant gas residue DOES get down to the steel in some places. Failure to clean and lube such a barrel will cause tears before bedtime, especially if you live somewhere warm and humid. IF the chrome in the bore is "compromised", the high-pressure and temperature propellant gases WILL start to knock a steady stream of tiny flakes of chrome away.. Banging the crown of the muzzle against rocks is also NOT recommended, chromed or otherwise, (muzzles, that is, not chromed rocks.) .A friend has one of the Rossi Puma '92 clones in ,357 mag. Slick rifle. The "Marlinesque" layout of the Henry offers a bit more sight options. A "side-by -side" test might be interesting.

The only rifle's I own are lever action and black powder. I just got tired of all the modern technology. Plus back in 1976 while driving an airport limousine out of Philadelphia I had one last fare and it was Church Conner's the rifleman. I spent an hour and half with him, he was a terrific guy. By the way, I'm only 39 years old. ( Lol ). Henry is my favorite firearm company.

Very cool!

[@chriscahill6897]

I prefer alittle more bang like 460sw or 357max

[@lrmmorgan]

Where is the 44mag version?!!😃

[@briancowan4318]

Fit it with a silencer and and then try several loads from subsonic on up. Let's see what 10 more grains (180gr) can do. Will it take 35 caliber (.358) or are you limited to 38 caliber (.357)? Of course you're going to do optics and then put the empty brass on the Frankford Arsenal's X-10 and reload.

You can load .358" diameter bullets, most cast bullets are that diameter, but you may run into overall length problems, i.e. too long to feed correctly through a lever gun.

[@briancowan4318]

@@r.awilliams9815 I wasn't sure how tight the bore is, which is why I asked. I built my first 'wildcat' the 357 AR Max, which is basically a 357 Remington Maximum round in a 223 basic cartridge (straight wall) and the barrel supplier asked if I wanted it to be able to take .358 bullets.

Many years ago my friend loaded some of my 180 grain Speer's for his 357 revolver. As I recall he used +P 38 Special cases to shorten the overall length and they worked. Can't remember the powder charge though?

[@jonathanblack1416]

Does this model also shoot 38special ?

Nice infomercial

We had such a good time shooting this little rifle, we did get pretty enthusiastic about it. On the other hand, it was awfully hard to find anything bad to say...

[@larrybarniville8213]

I would like to get the rifle but not at the price.
