It feels like a commercial from 1992

[@letoatredies7050]

I carried a level for years as a guide. Super reliable, low maintenance, and trust worthy enough to deal with angry bear. (45-70)

[@johnjakejoebob9465]

Imagine the chaos if walther made a lever gun. “Hey KZbin. Today we are gonna look at the Wal-TER LEEE-ver action rifle.”

[@ricjona1069]

And to keep it topped or you run dry, you can run similar to a pump shotgun. Most people I know don't practice tactical reloading with their levers but do with their pump shotguns. If you get good at it, it adds an additional layer of functionality, especially if you live in a restrictive state.

[@artwebb6939]

I used to have a Marlin in 357, and yes indeed, they are stupid fun

[@MoragTong_]

If Davy Crocket had a son named Sonny, that's the gun he would have had.

[@johndavenport6528]

Waiting for lever guns to be a division in Steel Challenge. What a hoot that would be!

[@brianahrens8591]

My tricked up .357 Henry X may be my favorite long gun. I used the Ranger Point Precision accoutrements.

[@lucasblanchard47]

That cerakote job looks freaking RADICAL! A fully customized tactical lever gun is absolutely on my list of guns to get!

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

The new lever guns from Henry are amazing. Check out the stuff from the recent SHOT Show! Hint, carbon fiber barrel designed specifically for suppressors.

[@mikelyon5595]

Interesting thought experiment! I dig the handguard!

[@cassidybronson6891]

I am definitely enjoying all the long gun content

[@waltermallon8038]

Cool gun. Love my levers.

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

If you travel a lot, the lever action rifle is something you take to pretty much every single State and be completely legal. If you train with them, they are very fast and accurate. The rounds they shoot is extremely, and I mean extremely, effective vs bad people. So yeah, it's completely viable and something I recommend to many, many people for a travel rifle.

[@chadfontaine2717]

Gotta roll up to the range on a 1980s Haro BMX if your gonna shoot a gun as classy as that ;)

[@comacoda]

Hey David, for your subsonic sighting needs give the Axeon Second Zero a look. It is a flip up single lens prism that shifts your view through your optic, this causes the shooter to naturally raise the muzzle to place the dot on target. This is especially good on a tactical lever to ensure controlled feeding as the lever is cycled, some lever guns are prone to feed problems when canted although I don't think your Henry is one of them. The axeon tarac prism is inexpensive and available in several moa choices too and is a cool sciencey solution to get your rounds to print 4.5 MOA higher for example....

[@TTime685]

Where's your wind breaker suit to go with it?

[@Lorenzo-fw3gx]

HM, welcome to the lever fam!! They are SO much fun, especially when you learn to run them fast and accurately. Also, for over the counter ammo, try some Remington 125 grain green and white box JSP's .357. It's really good for non boutique 357. ✌️

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

thanks for the ammo tip!

[@derrickburnett8703]

That cerokote job looks like a GT Vertigo I had when I was 14. Love it!

[@alexbartolini2992]

It is so ugly, it becomes beautiful. Matches your Bucky's cap and wrap around neon googles look. Most dapper

[@dsnipedu]

I love my marlin 1894 in .357 done up in ranger point precision furniture, i too have been trying to figure out the sweet spot on optics and i realized even tho its fun and accurate to run with an lpvo it literally becomes a pig to move around so im gonna run my amg uh1 with magnifier something alittle lighter and more maneuverable without sacrificing accuracy up to 100 yds. Great video i think this year is gonna be big for a lever guns in all calibers its just something about the mechanics that makes them amazing kinda like driving a stick shift car once you stop stalling out😆

[@nickzimonja3382]

Holy turbo and ozone!

[@Arabeon]

Love the leever gun

[@vladyakubets]

I always felt that there should be some optics made with finishes what would go well on more traditional guns with brass and wood on them.

[@davidransom4476]

Nice setup. Also, Henry is now shipping their Lever Action Supreme Rifle in .223/5.56mm, or .300 Blackout. Takes AR mags. Comes with a 10 round mag with a block to put in for states with 5 round limit for hunting. This is a Magpul PMAG, so you could also use a 20 or 30 round mag in it if in a "free" state. The advantage of a lever action is that those of us not in a "free" state don't have to worry about what features it has.

[@vlogfriendsutopia]

Also, here's some cool information about 357 Magnum from a lever action rifle; 357 Magnum can obviously be chambered in rifles, duty sized revolvers, compact ones, and even pocket guns. Having all way ammo compatibility between all your firearms is awesome, and realistically you'd only have to stock one/two types of ammo, being 38Spl and 357 Magnum. Now, let me tell you why I suggest 357 Magnum as far as rifles go. 357 Magnum is REALLY boogying out of a rifle. Standard off the shelf stuff will get you a bit over 1,000 FPE, which is roughly where 5.56 sits for energy. However, the REAL money maker is in the heavy full powered Magnum loads. If you're using Buffalo Bore, it'll push a 158 grain pill at 2153 (I think) FPS, which is squarely in 30-30 territory, but with 10+1 in a 20 inch barrel rather than 5. You're literally DOUBLING your capacity, and not really giving up much if anything in ballistics because you're pushing a larger diameter projectile anyway. Now, yes, the BC will be lower than 30-30, but the 158 grain XTP is a really great projectile with a solid .2 BC, and if zeroed 3 ish inches high at 100 yards and the Buffalo Bore 158 grain XTP, you're only 3 inches low at 200 yards, and about 26 inches low at 300. And for those ranges, you'd have 1,119 FPE, 756 FPE, and 519 FPE respectively. That means that this is capable all the way out to 300 yards, if you know what you're doing insofar as a fighting rifle or hunting rifle goes. 357 mag shoots the flattest of the big 3, 357 Magnum, 44 Magnum, and 45 Colt+P. And the ammo weighs about what 5.56 does, but again, you have access to 30-30 power. AND it can go in your sidearm, your pocket gun, AND your ZAP carry. "Now what about price?" You may ask. Sure. Online, your base price for 38Spl/357 Magnum is a touch less than 40CPR, actually can be had for 36 CPR with free shipping, which is actually in the neighborhood of 5.56. 30-30 costs practically DOUBLE that. For a moderate boost in energy, and half the capacity, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze on 30-30 when modern full power 357 Magnum can compete. Cheapest you can get with free shipping is 85 CPR. Now, your Buffalo Bore ammo does cost more at like 1.32 per round, but good Hornady hunting ammo for 30-30 costs about a dollar per round. But, if you're gonna be shooting constantly, the general cost will be lower. My advice is to keep some BB or Underwood around for heavy duty tasks, but regular old 158 grain JSPs will serve most of your purposes. If you reload, the 92 action can actually handle higher pressure loads, I'm talking a 150 grain projectile at 2310 FPS with 20/296 from a 20" barrel. And then, onto the topic of 38 Special. From a rifle, most 38 special in the heavier grains will still be subsonic unless it's a +P load. For those not in the know, when it comes to shooting suppressed, there are 3 primary sources of noise. Those are, the supersonic crack if the round is supersonic, the rapid expansion of the gases propelling the projectile, and the cycling of the action. Shooting a low pressure, subsonic round from a manually cycling firearm creates something with noise on par with a BB gun. If you think I'm joking, try it out. For small game or, uh, peaceful sentry removal, this would be just the ticket. So in summary, it can both be quieter, OR more powerful than 300 BLK with the same engagement range, while having the same ammo carry weight and general cost as 5.56, and also have the capability for 30-30 level ballistics while having double the capacity, AND the round/s can also be all way compatible between pocket, duty size, and rifle-class firearms. You literally would not need to stock any other rounds if you could only have one. 357 Magnum can do everything, and has. From having a 96% one shot stop rate in the hands of American police, to taking game as large as polar bears, and operating in the hands of special forces like GIGN. I truly believe it is the most versatile round in existence, and every other handgun caliber (and some rifle calibers) spend their existence unable to compete shot for shot. But, they can try.

[@3wheelmannc860]

It would be interesting to see you test (in your experience or research) a side by side shoot off of the top 3-5 lever guns. Even running each group in different calibers, .357, .44, 30-30, 45-70.

[@sidneyhuckabee3598]

Love the camo 😂

[@Mrgunsngear]

[@NortheastFarmer]

If Crockett could’ve carried a lever action gun, it would probably look like that

[@johnkellmer5133]

Try the S&W Stealth Hunter in .357. I'd love to hear about that one.

[@toons5233]

they are just fun to take to the range

[@ericvantassell6809]

you need to see more cerakote jobs maybe even on leavher guns

[@paulnowlin6441]

Would like to see an updated version of the old ruger lever guns. Make them as factory 10” SBRs using the rotary mags in 357, 44. Or short barreled versions of the new Henry supreme on 300blk. Shorten these guns up, to lighten them up, and then they’ll be very handy.

[@royk164]

Why does it look like them black and white zebra stickers are lifting off ?

[@semperfi6512]

Also go.check out the movie "Wind River".

[@hopewilliams6705]

It's not freaking soap humble Although Lever 2000 seems oddly appropriate

[@justflylow]

Lever guns are fun.

[@rcs3289]

It’s pronounced lever not lever.

[@FL-Kaiman]

That cerekote would look great on a vector, p90, or aug

[@Mk16-bx3vi]

You need a swatch watch to match your 80’s look you got going on. Maybe some parachute pants…

[@Merril_39]

I love you (usually! Sometimes! Definitely today)

[@siestatime4638]

You say "leever", I say "lehver", I suspect we both have some things better to worry about.

[@the1911dude]

Sooooo… will we see you shoot this in a match in PCC? I think it’s funny you have more snow in TX than we do in Ohio.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

I don't think it's funny - I think it's BS!

[@terryholloway9930]

We forgive yankes for miss pronouncing words this is a departure from what you usually a handgun lol great looking lever gun thanks

Uhoh you ain’t a yank my bad I had a baby 9 dessert eagle loved it

I know how to fix your subs and supers "problem." Buy 1 lever action for subs and 1 for supers.

Nothing wrong with a fun range toy. Muzzle loaders can be fun too. Don’t buy this for home defense, get a reliable semi auto.

[@lordstig5474]

It's so ugly I love it😢

no

[@jrmarshall789]

It’s not a LEEVER ACTION. Brits have no say in firearms anymore. Stop using British English to describe firearms.

[@donh1572]

I love the cerakote color scheme!……to bad it’s illegal in my state (New York) to paint my gun like that

[@MoragTong_]

Everything is illegal in New York...except geing an illegal alien.

lever henry in 8.6BLK would be DAD cool, 12inch

[@Andy-hl7gh]

Excuse me, can you please focus on guns which are available in your state and stop putting the spotlight on guns which are still readily available in other states before they put a ban-hammer on those too?! Thanks.
