Thinking about a 1873 in 44-40 for fun shooting. Which shoot I choose?

I would go Henry, if only for the lifetime service and repair guarantees.

Henry makes an 1873? Or are you referring to "The Original Henry" by Henry below? If cost isn't a consideration I'd say Henry also, but it's not an 1873.

The original 1860 is OK I guess but I prefer my Uberti '66 with a loading gate and forearm..Never been fond of Henry's tube mags even on their Big Boy offerings.Having handled both the Henry is well made but a tad clunky and not so much like the original they're supposed to represent.However it's hard to look past a good warranty.
