Buddy of mine got the newest iteration of the Henry lever gun in .44 mag with the side loading gate and couldn't be more pleased. The rifle runs just fine on both hand loads and factory ammo. It accurately makes nice big holes and tight groups at 50 yards without breakin' a sweat. Tis a Fine Rifle. Pair it with a wheel gun in .44 mag and you'll have quite the potent pistol/rifle combination.
Lever guns .. the ORIGINAL "assault style" weapon ... load it on Sunday and shoot it all week !!!
