One of Henry's best-kept secrets is the H001Y. I got one to keep my Golden Boy out of the weather and it gets the lion's share of the work by a mile. It loves everything I feed it from Colibris to Stingers. The smaller stock and barrel just make it so handy. I'm still impressed with it after several years.

[@mrsmartypants_1]

Bought my first lever action rifle - a Henry 25th anniversary .30-30 this past fall. H009GCC - Color case hardened side gate. So much fun. Absolutely gorgeous. Keeping it old school. It will never see a scope.

Do they make caliber rifle for taking down a big bear if you had to while you are in the woods

[@mrsmartypants_1]

@@ZachMalkemus-x5f Absolutely. Check out their website. They have a few very large caliber lever actions to put down the largest grizzlies etc.. in fairly close quarters. But to be honest a 30-30 will stop almost anything with a fairly good shot placement within 75 yards.

[@JunkyardGardener]

​​@@ZachMalkemus-x5f they carry a 45-70. Along with the 308 long range. I would recommend a 45-70 if your hunting deer,elk, moose in bear country

I don't know why so many videos are being narrated by AI these days, but it leads to a lot of obvious errors and makes the reliability of the information presented suspect.

[@sisleymichael]

I have a Henry in 22LR, 44mag, 30-30 and 357mag. They all are good shooters. The 30-30 and 44mag have accounted for a slew of wild hogs on my place in South Texas. We have more hogs than you can imagine so we eat them and keep the freezer full. The 357 is fine for a secondary home defense rifle. The 22LR is excellent for small game. I do not regret buying any of these guns. Also, Henry stands behind everything they sell. If you have an issue, the WILL make it right, no problem. I know this first hand and appreciate that quality a ton. Whichever Henry you buy, you will like it. It will shoot. Feed it what it likes in ammo brand and then buy a lot of it and you cannot go wrong.

Just picked up a 45-70 side loader. There is recall on the firing pin on 45-70 models made between December 14th to January 11th 2023. The rifle can inadvertently fire if lowering a cocked hammer on a live round. Henry made me aware of this and is offering a $50 merchandise gift card for our inconvenience. Beautiful rifles. I’d like to get an American Beauty model for the wife.

[@blackhawk7r221]

That says a lot of a company. Not waiting until they are told to launch a recall.

[@keganje]

I was informed of the recall on about 3/3, they sent me a box which took a week or so, they received the rifle on 3/22, on 3/24 they informed me that it was on the way back to me, the repaired 45-70 is scheduled to arrive back in 4 days. Less than a month from the time they notified me. Not too bad I would say. I ordered the H011C today.

[@chipsawdust5816]

I've been drooling over that very gun (in brass) for a long time. Good on Henry for fixing things quick and making it easy for you. Sometimes in mass production these things can happen, but at least they owned up to it.

[@lionelwhiskerknot]

Agreed. The case hardened 20in .44 lever action rifle is sold out the most. I was lucky to snag a .357 to pair with my revolver but wouldn't mind having the .44. Now if only Henry would sell their revolvers in CA as they are not on the CA roster 🙁

[@CajunPersuasion]

I recently bought a 44 magnum big boy and I love it. I also bought a 1894 30-30 win in pristine condition at a gold exchange store and it still works. I absolutely love it. It needed some oil though and from the load mechanism it hasnt been fired many times because, it was tight. I got lucky with that gun.

[@keganje]

You may have seen this elsewhere, I plan on inserting this when ever I see some one talking about Henry. I want to state that I can not believe any company out there, will come even close to the customer service that Henry has. On 1/30/23 they completely wowed me on a gun (.44 BB) that I have had for 13 years, lets just say that there was a little something wrong with it, I had sent it in 2 or 3 times to have it repaired, they did for free each time. I Happened to buy one of their 45-70 last week and discovered that they made a improvement on it, that would have resolved the issue on mine. I emailed them asking them if they could retrofit mine with the improvement, and they replied back same day, long story short is, they are going to, after they receive mine, send me a brand new one. It makes me very happy that in the last 3 weeks I have bought a 45-70, a .410 and my H004 (.22 GB) should arrive tomorrow. I plan on buying one of their .308, as soon as I can find one.(2/2/23 found one received it on 2/9), I see they just came out with a 9mm Semi, looks like a very nice gun, not for me, I like the classic Lever's, but since I am trying to fill up one of their very NICE 8 gun cases, which I have not bought yet, perhaps a 30-30 is in my future. As soon as my wife forgets about the last 4 I have bought recently. (2/24 received the replacement .44 BB )

My retirement gift was a Henry Big Boy in .44 Magnum. It sits on the wall above my fireplace and has never been fired in 4 years of collecting dust. A friend came over and got me all excited about bringing it to a rifle range so we can fire it. The rifle has a tubular loading scheme. My dad's old 30-30 lever action had a side loading gate which I fired as a kid. Does anyone know if the .44 Magnum Big Boy with brass receiver can be modified at the factory to have a loading gate that can be retrofitted? That would be a real improvement for me. Just sitting on the couch drinking my morning coffee and looking at that rifle reminds me of how nice it is to be retired. It's far better than a gold watch. The rifle fit and finish is a true work of art.

[@spec4gi48]

I retired about eleven months ago and one of my son's and I saw the 45-70 government model with the 22 inch octagon barrel. He bought it. Money well spent.

[@frankyg2384]

Henry makes all their models now with either a brass or steel receiver with and without the side loading gate, the side gate models just came out in 2021 I think.

[@shemp1howard]

I own both a Big Boy Steel and Big Boy Classic in 44mag. Unless you are cowboy action shooting- you will not miss the side gate. I have grown to appreciate the fast loading/unloading of the tube feed and not having to continuously rack/wear on the gun to unload it after a day of hunting.

[@dannuthals7045]

I love lever-action rifles and have shot them for 50+ years (Winchester and Henry). Decent video, but sad there was no mention of any of the models in a 30-30. Lever action rifles chambered in 30-30 have probably led to more successful deer hunts in all terrains from Texas to Wisconsin than any other rifle made.

As a History major, I always find it funny when people talk about the guns that won the West when, in reality, it wouldn't be these cutting-edge tech guns of the time but more basic weapons like shotguns that would be carried by the people moving west aka homesteaders and farmers. Remember guns where extremely expensive. Heck, it would take the Civil War and the massive build-up of arms in the country that you see basically surplus weapons making their way into the hands of people moving west. Even then they wouldn't have been these types of guns. Hollywood has done a lot to make people think that there were constant high noon gunfights as did cheap novels of the day.

[@deanaltman6841]

You should get your money back from whatever school you go to. The majority of the populace back then had guns and were not that expensive. Why did the majority have them? Because the majority of the population still lived in rural areas at that time and needed them as essential tools to provide food for the family, kill nuisance critters trying to kill livestock, and also for defense. Most were black powder rifles of varying type. Shotguns were not that common. You are correct about the gunfights though, those were rare. Even the “gunfighter” Wyatt Earp didn’t do that like it’s depicted in the movies. He “buffaloed” people. Basically cracked them over the head with the butt of his pistol to knock them out then dragged them to jail. As a matter of fact there were some people known for being handy with a gun and were willing to use it but nobody was called a “gunfighter”, they were called a “shootist”.
