I will end up with one in 44 mag if I see one with good wood. The online sellers are use stock images rather than actual photos.

I bought a 357...i am amazed at the accuracy. One inch group from a non free floated pistol cartridge rifle? Yup.

Yeah. The guys I was shooting with were laughing. We kept passing it around to shoot. Was like a 35 caliber pellet gun.

How much trigger pull weight did you lose by changing the spring? (assuming you did).

I just rolled the dice.

Crap, I don't even have one (unless you count waiting for direct deposit😛).
Excuse accepted.

I would rather have one. By a long shot. But it is what it is. Told a very bad boss goodbye and took a large pay cut for doing the right thing. I refused to break the law or look the other way while he did

Hang in there. This too shall pass.
Where I worked for 40 years, bosses came and went, so you just had to wait the duds out.

Only one I own. Lever .410. It’s had a few hiccups. But seems to be running fine these days.

Ran some Trail Boss loads through my .308 today; 110gr Speer HPs over 13gr. First three at 50 yards in one hole; two more cut that cluster.
155gr Nosler Custom Competition over the same load spread wider. Going to seat the remainder of those deeper in hopes of doing better. Got a bunch of other 150s to try as well, but the main goal was to find a good load for turkeys and offhand practice, and hopefully duplicate a similar load I used back in the 80s on a fox and a few chucks- DRT to max. These Speer bullets are about as cheap as you'll find.
Beginning to think the Henry deserves a bit more scope than 2.5.

On the other hand...dry fire and shooting at the range have smoothed and lightened the trigger without switching the spring yet

Thanks again, won't get the gun 'till Monday or Tuesday. Got it from Academy for $339.99 plus tax. Total OTD is $381. Will try the dry firing and range trick.

I wish they had the single shot in 41 magnum to go along with my Ruger Blackhawk.
