new Henry rifle...

[lazs2]

Looking at my new Henry "big boy" in 44 mag..  Just got it.

I needed another gun like I need another hole in my head but...

Damn thing is one of the prettiest rifles I have ever seen.... prettiest one I have ever owned in any case.

Now that sounds like a great rifle. Whats the barrel length, overall length? I use to have a Marlin 45-70 and was one of my favourite rifles. Ideal for the thick native bush in NZ.

In a moment of stupidity one day I sold it...

Mate had one of those years ago, didn't realise they were still going.

Not sure if it's the same but I bought a 22LR Golden Boy like Lasz' rifle a couple of years ago.  Love target shooting with it.

Theyve been made by several different manufacturers over the years.  Hnery Repeating Arms is currently making them.  They go for as low as $180.

[DiabloTX]

Nope.  Mine was $400 so it must be a different rifle then.  Something about lever-action rifles that just feels soooooo right.

That is a nice gun, except for the pimped bling gold finish...  Tell me you didn't go bling Lazs?

They really suck, I'd rather have a cheap 22 pistol or just about anything.

[DiabloTX]

Top one is the one I have.

I was all set to get the .44 Mag like Lazs has but the car accident changed all of that.  Still is on my wish list.

 ya never heard of brass?
brass was, at one time, a common metal to use in production of some firearms.

Apparently Henry has made some design tweaks that have the feed problem fixed.  Of course they aren't very accurate but Im just looking for something to toss in the trunk that has more on the ball than a 2 inch barrel and can be built up quickly.  The thing stows up tight and that appeals to me.  

Im still just thinking about it.

Do you have some experience with one?  thoughts about anything specific?

Oooh...Henry makes a lever action in 17 HMR!  You guys hear anything about that round?  I like the looks of it.  A hyper velocity pellet has applications!
