they have some Henry rifles
I have multiple Henry's and shoot the snot out of them. 22 Small Game and a 357 Big Boy get the most attention. Probably going to add a 357 Big Boy carbine since the full length gets a little heavy after shooting it a while.
Very accurate, great action, and tons of fun to shoot.
Find a shop that is more deserving of your business.
Yeah f*** that shop. If you're in the Middleton/Peabody area, you should just go to Northeast Arms and have them order one for you if not in stock.
The buck horn sites on the Henry big boy suck, they can't hold a zero. Replace them with a set of Skinner sights and you will be good to go, it is one fine rifle. Some people don't like the Henry tube fed system and prefer the Marlin gate loading system but that is a matter of personal choice.
I think the loading gate was designed by a guy named King while employed by Winchester, not Marlin, if I'm not mistaken.Yup. Skinner sights work great on the Henry. Throwing on a scope is fun too.
Hadn't really thought about getting one but when I walked into my LGS the owner asked me if I wanted to look at an All Weather .30-30 that he had. As soon as I checked it out I told him ok I'll take it.
Well it took a couple of weeks, but I sold the guns I was going to trade in for the Henry. now it's time to shop.
take your time, don't buy the first one you see. (unless it's really one you were looking for)
i ordered the henry catalog on line, and although it took a few weeks to receive, it REALLY helped me narrow down my choice
edit: now i want the .44mag after shooting the .357
Yeah the Big Boy's are a ton of fun. My 44 mag reloads have quite the muzzle flash - makes a good flamethrower...
Thinking of grabbing a Big Boy steel in 357.
This is will only lead to a GP100 also.
