I was looking at a poor quality image of a 219. I could see the overall profile. The top of the receiver was unclear.

More and more of these are showing up on Gun Broker. The wood on most of them has good to very good character. Street prices are running 369-399. As soon as one with good wood shows up in 44 magnum, I am going to buy it.

Was in a LGS this morning. They had one next to a Long Ranger. I didn't realize at first it was the single shot. So, I asked to look at it. Turned out to be a 243, which I wasn't looking for. But, the fit and finish was really nice. Action opened smoothly. The lever wasn't a problem where it was. I expect the fit and finish on all of them would be the same. Anyway, happened to look on Bud's this evening and they had them in 223. Mine is on layaway now. I hope that eventually, they will make them in .357. If they do, I'll have one of those also.

Keep us posted on it. I want to know how it shoots.

A .357 Magnum rechambered to .357 Maximum would grab my interest.

I'm with Steelhead. The 30/30 is the FIRST round they should have brought these out in.

I put some of my raffle tickets in the bucket for one Saturday night at the NRA Friend's banquet. It looked 'presentable" , I don't own a .243 yet, I like single shots, the tickets were already paid for, there weren't a whole lot of other interesting guns. I figured why not................................. I didn't win. Will be nice to see a review when someone on here gets a hold of one. They need to chamber them in more interesting calibers. If not, they're diss'n loonies! Geno

I finally picked up a Henry single shot 44 mag.,fit & finish are very good,it has a nice deep blue on the barrel,and the wood is above average with both figure and grain in a medium/dark finish.Hopefully with some more snow melt I will be able to get to my range in the woods and shoot it. Sorry ,I don't do pics!

PB, after a couple of shops couldn't get one I found a fairly local shop that Henry listed as a flagship dealer and he came through for me. Near the little town of Chenango Forks ny.

I finally did a bit of range work with my Henry single shot 44 mag.I tried various loads at fifty yards with the issue open sights and due to 66 year old eyes ,the results were varied!I decided that a peep sight would better suite my needs,rather than a scope,as my main purpose was to keep weight to a minimum.Williams WGRS #17778 looked like it would work.The mounting holes lined up perfectly,but I needed to remove about a 1/4" of material at the rear of the sight for a proper fit.Back at the range bullet impact was 12" high at 50 yards with the peep at it's lowest setting!I installed a taller Marble front sight with an ivory bead and went back to the range.Hornady 240&300 grain XTP's and Lyman #429630 265 gr. hpgc bullets clustered in nice tight groups.These were all hand loads using W296/H110 powder.Beartooth 250gr. gas checks didn't shoot well at all,but I haven't had much luck with that bullet in a couple other 44 mags either! I've got some LBT/cast performance 260gr. gas checks that I'll try next. All in all ,I'm happy with the Henry.By the way,the williams peep sight is made to fit H&R's!
