Congrats man. You’re gonna love it. I have that exact rifle and took a deer with it last year. Worked famously. You’ve got a great rifle that will do exactly what the 30/30 will do.
Congrats on your purchase and enjoy your new hunting/shooting addiction. I have owned a Henry .44 Mag case hardened action. I have killed a couple of deer with it. I will say that the buckhorn sights are pretty much the only thing I don't like about the gun. It is difficult to obtain a consistent sight picture. For hunting in Ohio (which is where I live as well) I would suggest a low magnification optic and keep your shots definitely under the 100 yard mark. Good luck and enjoy!!
@@jdthebluecollarconservative i probably would have preferred the case hardened they look like a dream on their website. The cams are looking much more active this week so hopefully I get something this weekend!
That's a nice rifle. I've taken several deer with a 44 mag. It's legal in my state to hunt with whatever cartridge you prefer, but I still hunt with a 44 mag and a 45-70. I prefer the Henry without the loading gate. It can be helpful to have but I reload and the side gate will scar up the brass pretty bad especially if you load/unload the same ammo several times. I grew up with a Marlin model 60 so that tube feed is just natural for me. Great gun, hope you put some meat in the freezer with it!
That's a 360 buckhammer that you were talking about. The 350 legend and the 360 buckhammer both fill different needs, the difference is that the 350 legend was designed to be used in states that have "primitive weapon" season where you are limited to a single-shot, straight wall cartridge (or a black powder rifle). The 350 legend was built around being used in a single-shot rifle. The 360 buckhammer was designed for use in states where all you can use is a straight wall cartridge but it doesn't have to be a single-shot. The 360 buckhammer was designed to be used in a lever action. I really like the 360 buckhammer, I've never shot one but I've been shooting guns my whole life, I'm pretty sure I had powder burns on my diapers 😂, and i can just look at the cartridge and tell you that the 360 is a great deer cartridge. As long as the state laws stay as they are, the 350 legend and the 360 buckhammer will stick around for a long time.
The transfer bar is where the hammer is. It stays down so you cannot drop it and make the gun go off when you pull the trigger. It pushes it up so the hammer will strike the firing pin.
I use the same gun for hunting with a Vortex Crossfire scope on it. I took down two deer with it, no problem, both took one shot and fell where they were shot. They were both about 50yds away. Nice Gun. I did a review on the gun on my TH-cam page Low Budget Shooting.
Glad to see your journey keep going! I see that crossbow behind you and was wondering your thoughts about it for deer. I picked up my first crossbow this year and luckily got a public land buck! For me you just can’t beat archery season compared to deer gun season in terms of length and safety (private land is different). I think you choose a great option, I have a .22 Henry and love it. If I were to get into deer rifle I would also use a lever action! Plus I might just pick one up anyways because like you said they look good and they’re Americas gun. Also have you got any squirrel yet with your shotgun? I got my first fox squirrel on opening day, definitely going to be looking for them over red and gray.

Skinner sight would look great and make it a much better rifle to shoot. Either way that’s a beautiful firearm. Congratulations
@@jigsawpulse1139 I willl have to check out those skinner sights for sure!
