I had been wanting a lever for years and began desiring a Henry because I actually like the looks. Finally bought the Big Boy rifle in 44 cal.
20 inch barrel and the large loop lever.
It’s not the side gate, but I love my rifle.
I’ve only shot one deer with it at 100 yards. Drt.
I’d like to buy another with side gate in something other than brass to hunt with.
As for as killing power?
I’ve probably killed 40 deer with a 50 cal muzzleloader using 240gr bullets.
I imagine my Henry 44 is not much different in ballistics and force.
