What Calibers do you wish Henry would chamber in the Long Ranger?

I was hoping for the 7mm-08 Remington

After waiting it out I settled for 6.5 Creedmoor, which may be for the better, we'll see.
Rock On!

Oh boy, if they chambered a .270 wcf and a 25/06, I would be seriously looking

.257 Roberts would be another

.250 Savage 3rd

.338 federal

7mm-08, 270 Win., 7mm Rem Mag

All good calibers

Like the .338 federal, unless somehow you could stuff a .338 RCM in it

Not sure how I got the red emoji in the title.

Love the 7mm08. Ask Mr. Imperato. It looks like they will be making a lightweight 357 with a 20” bbl and side loading gate after many asked.

I wish they made a pistol grip model

yes i agree and a 338 Win.Mag.with a 22 inch barrel

The 260 rem I can make brass out of 308 .Its super accurate and I have three other 260 rifles that are awesome .

22-250

A .338 Federal would be nice. That said, the Long Ranger configuration in a .308 is hard to beat. A .257 Roberts would be a sweet shooter as well.

It needs to be offered in the 358 Win.

As much as I like the 358 Win, I'd really like to see one with a pistol grip chambered in 300 Savage. I guess I'm getting too old.

.350 Legend and/or .450 Bushmaster with a 20" barrels

256 Win Mag

I don’t think they sell many of them

35 Winchester, 405 Winchester, 348 Winchester, 33 Winchester, 38-55, 30-40, 6.5 Swede, 45-90, 500 Alaskan, 50-70, 50-120
To name a few.

What Bugger said +1 Especially the .405 WCF, 45-90, and a couple of .50s.

two more
35 Newton and 30 Newton

This!

That would be nice... but I've already got one (Savage 99EG in .300Sav), so....

Someone needs to make a lever in .30 carbine (Marlin Levermatic 62s in .30 carbine are too scarce/expensive)!

Seems redundant when the .327 Federal duplicates it's ballistics and is already available in the Henry Big Boy steel.

I would love to see a 22 Hornet or 218 Bee.

I could go for a pistol grip version in .308 chambering.

Has anyone ever communicated with the management about some addl. calibers ?

I have met the plant mgr. and he seems like a regular guy.

Yep. Or .222. But not holding my breath.

Missed this back then.

Will that HBBS (also available in the Henry Big Boy Classic & Big Boy Carbine) fire the same .30 carbine round as my Universal "M1 Carbine" and my Ruger Blackhawk?

No, it won't. And that's what I want - a lever-action partner for those two!


My HBBS Carbine is for working with my S&W 30-1 (.32 S&W Long), Ruger Single-Six (.32 H&R Magnum), and S&W 632 (.327 Fed Magnum).

Henry's are for urban cowboys.

Good luck with that.

Were they to produce a clone of the original Henry chambered for the .44 Henry RF and get some ammo circulating I’d buy one and a big load of ammo. Otherwise I have all the leverguns I want.

They're halfway there DD. You'd have to settle for a .44WCF though.

Never been much of a fan since they entered the market place however I'll be more obliging in the future with additional models featuring loading gates.

+1 for 7mm-08.

Doesn't matter what caliber they offer if the twist rate in the barrel is too slow to stabilize a high bc bullet.

That's the Achilles Heel of all these half fast manufacturers of useless rifles.

250 Savage or 257 Roberts

7mm-08

1:8 rpm please.

What kind of a dumbass would buy a lever action for long range anyway ?

X2. A Henry with a 20" barrel, a 7 lb. trigger and accuracy (according to several reviews I read) that averages 2-2.5" at 100 yds. is real conducive to long range shooting. LOL

Well...they call it the long ranger, chamber it in long range capable cartridges, and market it for ‘longer distances’. It’s too ugly for my tastes, so I guess I’ll never find out how accurate one really is.

Yeah, longer distances than a traditional tube fed lever action.

200-250 yards instead of 100-125.

Isn't it more or less a old style BLR ?
I've had old BLR's in 243 and 308 that would
shoot 200-250 no problem ( that's about as far as
I take a shot at a wt deer)
Don't they offer a 243 or a 308 ?

Nothing against a 7-08 Rem, but what can it kill at 300-400 yards that a 308 Win lever gun won’t. Answer is nothing. In fact the 308 Win based lever gun has a larger window of use with 1-10 twist barrel shooting 120-200 grain loads. Of which ammo is everywhere. You’ll never see a 1-8 twist barrel on a 7-08 magazine fed factory made lever gun. A 308 Win with 178 eld-x is a great performer near and far on big game. It’s been done thousands of times on every continent.

358 Win and 250 Savage. They would sell out in less than a month. 👍

Deer at 200 yards is cake with an accurate .30-30 or .35. Done it at that and farther several times.

Not sure how this ended up being "My way is better than your way"!

Was hoping to hear what others want as well as putting out some energy for a 7mm-08.

Like the idea of a 257 bob and 250Savage, 358 338fed too.

Sold the Henry 6.5 without shooting it because it wasn't a 7mm-08.

BLR's are nice, but after watching 150 of my co-workers loose their jobs I just can't see owning anything not built in the US and sold my 7mm-08 BLR (my opinion for myself only)

Picked up an 88 in 308 so guess I'm good that way.

6.5 Grendel would be nice.

35 Winchester
