I bought a Henry Big Boy Steel in the 357Mag a couple of week ago. Brought it home from gun show and wife wants to shoot it. So to the range we go. She likes it too. Now I need another one.
That Henry is the most accurate pistol cartridge shooting gun I have aver owned. Pistol Or rifle and I've owned a bunch. From a rest on the bench I chewed the center out of the target using The cheap Remington UMC 158gr JHP ammo. Rifle loved the stuff. I slapped a scope (6X) on her and proceeded to put a whole tube full of shots in a group that a 50 cent piece almost covered at 50yds.
The twist in the barrel appears to be a lot faster than an of my pistols. Also faster than my Marlin and my Timber Wolfe pump. Lands are rather deeper and more pronounced too.
It operates smoother and quieter than the marlin also. I'e had it almost totally apart and there are NO PLASTIC parts in or on it at all. (Rubber butt plate/recoil pad)
Buy it, you won't be disappointed! Just don't let your wife shoot it...
