No. But I wish I did.
I've got a Henry BBS .45 Colt that I like more every time I shoot it. I also have a Ruger #1 .45-70 that I love. Sooooo, it's sorta hard to say I NEED the Henry .45-70.
I've handled a few Henry All Weathers and liked them. I don't fret the loading gate thing and don't really care about scouring the interweb looking for a Marlin made during the Reagan administration or whatever.
Easy scope mounting. Accurate. Good heft. Good recoil pad. Not too pretty. Seems well made for what it's supposed to do.
I shall now sit patiently and watch this thread............

I have owned more Marlin lever rifles but I have owned 3 Henry H010 45-70 rifles and every one was more accurate than any of My Marlin rifles (336's and 1895's) the Fit and finish on the Henry rifles were all all top-notch....If I were in the market I would most likely buy an H010AW......Good luck...Hb

If you buy it contact Henry and they will send you another tube for free, they did for me anyway on all 3 Henry rifles I have. I called or emailed and requested one.

The Henry has a coating on the out side. Inside the bore there is no protection. This is not "All Weather." My Marlin XLR stainless 45-70 is all weather & shoots great with my own cast bullets which is all I shoot. If Henry ever decides to make a real all weather stainless rifle then I may look at one. In my part of the country I may need to hunt in nasty cold wet conditions . This is where real stainless protection shines, inside & out.

If you like it go for it. For me the only lever guns I care for without a side gate are the Savages and Brownings. I know, totally different animals and not big bores, so I stick to Marlins and Winchesters. Also don't care for the finish they use, the case color side gate is appealing to me though.
