That is pretty wild. I bet one of those rifles is one you have.

Cool, thanks for the visual. I’ll check it out, FRiend.

The Henry’s tube loading is a big NO for me. I prefer the Marlin or Winchester design, rather than the almost-muzzleloader Henry.

I like my Henry .22. It will fire .22 short, .22long or .2 lr. It is fun and I can shoot all day for a few dollars.

I love my Winchester 33.30 and prefer it’s side loading. But when I go out on the ranch for some plinking I generally take the Henry.

“I have a serious jones on for the Henry in .357, since I already have pistols and reloading gear in that caliber.”

Nothing wrong with the Henrys, but the one I would like is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjxKI3eURRw Or, longer barrel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPMS8l5QiCg
