- Hey ya'll. Thanks for stopping by. This here video is my first shots and thoughts and zeroing the Big Bore Henry chambered in the hard hitting 45-70 Government. It sure is a thumper even with mild loads and I love it. Feel free to donate to support the channel here / user #HenryUSA #4570 #BigBore
I am 73 and have been at this as long as I can remember, but you can always learn. Your tape trick really makes zeroing a buckhorn sight easy. I just finished zeroing my Henry H012G, .44 mag on my range. At 50 yards dead center, after I moved the sight a 1/16th of an inch. My group was 2 1/2 inches at 50 yards. That is as good as my eyes and bifocals can do. Next is firing it out at 100 yards. I am hoping for 4 inch groups, if I get that I'll hunt it. Again, thanks for the tip.
Glad I could be of help
The tape and mark is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks and you’re welcome
Agree, I never thought about using the tape...thanks for the tip! Great video! I love how meticulous you are in trying to get it right.
I liked your common sense - no hurry way of dialing in iron sights on a new rifle. Thanks for your time.
You’re welcome and thanks
Grat Post...! Stop paying so much attention to ALL those haters. Thank you for posting this!
Thanks and you’re welcome
I try not to
This dude always has good videos of interesting guns. Can't even think of a single reason to hate. He's not super polished like some big namers he's more like a buddy you go shoot with
@@brickhammerSS thanks
Thanks for sharing the video footage! Great job of sighting in your Henry. Henry makes the best lever actions on the planet in my opinion. I love the Winchester jacketed hollow points… They are devastating hunting cartridge.
You’re welcome and thanks. They sure do. Their customer service is top notch as well. I’m hoping for a chance to get out Midwest and take something huge with it.
Thanks for stopping by, watching and the comment
I completely agree!
Very thorough video!
Love the look of these Henry's.. the walnut blue and brass have a very classic appearance! I actually picked up the Henry Carbine brass 357 magnum in April. So much fun to shoot and inexpensive for a non reloader :)
Thanks for sharing this brother.. :)
Thanks. They’re sure fun and look great
Great video. Nice Henry! Never seen one sighted in so that was awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
Thanks for taking us with you. That was fun 😊
You’re welcome. It sure was
Thank You for sharing!!
You’re welcome
Definitely look like you was having fun, it’ll break a break for sure
It was fun, and it sure did. Thanks for stopping by and watching
Try shooting that rifel with 430gr bear bullet you will get a sizeable amount of recoil, and I'm only 5"10 and 165lbs and I shoot these loads all the time,the 325gr are mild loads to me I'm not recoil sensitive either
I’ll see if I can find some locally. Thanks for stopping by and watching
Nice rifle and good shooting Sir 🍻 Just last week I picked up my new Henry Brass 45-70 side-stuffer and I can't wait to get to the range with it!
I should add that I was raised on Winchester and they are still my favorite but Henry is a very close second. I really don't think you can beat Henry in terms of the high level of quality for the price. Nobody has brought more lever rifle models to market in living memory than Henry. Plus, I love the company in general with their very patriotic business model and all of the charitable work they do.
@@joebarrett5310 nice. I hope to see a video or two of you shooting yours. Winchester’s are really nice, I’ve fondled a few of those and Marlins. I went with the Henry for the tube load and the more I shoot and reload it, the more I’d like to have a side stuffer as well. Tube load does help slow down the amount of ammo being shot in one range visit.
Thanks for stopping by and sharing
Nice gun! Sucks its not a side gate but oh well. Very informative video. Keep it up my man
It sure is. I don’t mind not having a side gate. It’s not like I’m shooting fast and in a hurry to reload. I doubt I’d ever be on a hunt where I’d need to. Thanks
@@JBJHonez have you been reloading anything for it? It would be interesting to see you shoot some hot reloads
@@brickhammerSS I have. Just nothing crazy. More so just for plinking, Berrys copper plated stuff
@@JBJHonez it's cool that you're answering questions. I just started reloading and I'm reloading for a 454 casull Rossi R92 but my cartridges won't cycle. They measured out to what the book says but no luck cycling. Any ideas what might be happening?
I guess what I'm asking is if the length of the cartridge needs to be different if you're reloading for a lever action instead of a revolver because none of the books have data for 454 rifle
Loving some big bore content!
Glad I subscribed!
Cool
I’ve got vids of my S&W 460 and 500 as well posted
@@JBJHonez I’ll have to check them out buddy! Thanks!👍
I think the sticky action was probably a combination of both the newness of the rifle and the hollow point Winchester bullets it's my suspicion she would run smoother with Hornaday lever revolution with the ftx bullets and I'm sure it probably gets smoother also the more times you cycle the action with rounds in I may be wrong but if it doesn't smooth out I think I would contact Henry I'm confident they will make it right just my 2 cents
Yeah, it’s smoothened out as I shot it more. Shooting the LeverEvolution ammo in it didn’t make any difference but it just needed some breaking in
Could you put a laser boresighter in the breach and get closer to site adjustment and save some money in bullets?
@@denniswiemer72 I’ve tried several and it didn’t help because they were fairly off and I still had to use several rounds to get it sighted in. I just try to start around 25yds and with a larger target. I ended up learning to take the lever out and bolt out to bore sight looking down the barrel from the chamber end
I've been wanting a Henry rifle but I was thinking more along the lines of a 357 mag or a 44 mag.a
After watching your video a 45/70 would also be a kickass cal to run.
I’ve got a Henry 357 and it’s one of my favorites
It sure is a beautiful looking rifle . i wonder how it shoots with black powder cartridge's ?
Haven’t tried and don’t plan on it since I don’t shoot blackpowder in it
Nice firing and sighting in.
Thanks
Can you load the tube through the ejection port? You certainly couldve loaded individual rounds into the chamber through it instead of taking the follower & cap out each time.
@@1nfamyX no, you can’t load the tube through the ejection port.
Great job! Sorry I wait for wifi to watch this
Thanks. It’s all good
My only question is why not just load it into the chamber for one round as appose to taking out the mag rod for one round. Nice vid.
To make sure they feed and chamber reliably from the mag tube. Sometimes there are issues with certain bullet profiles or bullet lengths
Thanks
@@JBJHonez
You also need to rack thst lever with alittle authority, especially on a new action.
People overplay the recoil of 45-70
I have the exact same gun and I love it.
Yup. This one is my favorite

You're right. Not much recoil . . .
You mentioned Sir that the recoil was somewhat tame. I suggest you buy a box of HSM 430 grain+P RNFP 45-70 Grizzly rounds and your opinion of 45-70 government recoil may change drastically. Even these rounds are not the most robust!! The 45-70 government round is so versatile. Specific hand loads in this chambering can match the power, accuracy, and distance of almost any hunting round available in all the other chamberings!! No lie, just fact!!
It is to me sir. I’m not gonna buy those because I’ve got plenty of ammo for it and recoil is perceived differently by different people sir.I am well aware how versatile the 4570 is sir and as far as hand loading for it goes, I’m well aware of that as well sir. Thank you sir for stopping by and watching…along with your info a
Looks like it blowed up one of the bricks
Yeah, pretty much
My sights also came in low and right @50 yds. Was dead on at 25 though.
I try to use the “center hold” style when aiming on all my guns. Takes a while when having to order various front sights for things
@@JBJHonez I usually do combat sight picture aiming. Still low and right. Until I adjusted the sight.
Those bullets are on the tame side; shoot a 300grain bullet at 2000ft/second and you’ll think it’s a different rifle.
Thanks for watching and the comment. I’m good where they’re at
Where about in eastern nc are you? Im near Smithfield
Emerald Isle
Cool we had a place near cape cateret
Your Henry model 45-70 lever gun is a beautiful firearm. Is there a reason you didn’t attempt to acquire an 1895 CB around a 2016 or newer made by Remington? My research has told me that Remington made the best 45-70 lever guns to date. Much better than the new Ruger models!! The JM models used machined receivers where the Remington made one’s were made from a solid block of steel!! This is why the Remington made 1895’s are able to handle high pressure loads with no problems!! Also your Henry there has no side gate loading? The 1895 CB 45-70 Remington made 2016 model was bullseye accurate right out of the box. One didn’t have to adjust anything. When Remington bought Marlin from JM in 2010 they were left with broken down antiquated machinery, no schematics, with no old JM workers to explain how to use these less than desirable machines Remington by 2013 used all the old JM parts. By 2016 Remington had purchased brand new CNC machines, re- engineered all the parts to the Marlin lever guns, they used solid blocks of steel for their receivers, not machined ones like the JM models out of Connecticut!! This made a much stronger chamber for higher pressure loads!! The 1895 CB 45-70 Remington made has an 18.5 inch octagonal barrel with Ballard rifling, dark walnut butt stock and forearm, semi buckhorn rear and gold bead front sights. It holds 6+1 rounds of 45-70 government loaded through the side gate. Personally I would not purchase a Marlin lever gun or any lever gun made by anyone with a tube load feature period!! It is so non- authentic plus it is so clumsy to use in the bush or field when hunting!! The 1895 CB which stands for Cowboy model, later changed to CBA standing for Cowboy action model and the 26” barrel model retained the CB scribed on its barrel. The Remington made 1895 45-70 model is hard to beat and no Ruger model 1895 to date can even come close to its wood to metal fitting, function, and accuracy. A few people complained originally of stiff lever action. Remington made their Marlin lever guns with closer and tighter tolerances than had ever been done before, due to the expert engineering at Remington in Illion, NY. and because of the modern and high quality CNC machines. This cause the brand new lever actions to appear stiff at first. All one had to do was fire a few hundred rounds through their Remington Marlin and the lever action became smooth as butter, but not all loosey goosey like some Henry models or the older JM models. If anyone wants the best of the best when it comes to an 1895 lever gun, the Remington models 2016 and newer can still be found online. I hope you have a desire to acquire one of these Remington made 1895’s to review on your channel Sir. Thanks much.
Didn’t and Don’t want one of those, I wanted a Henry and I got what I wanted and will not even bother looking for one because I got what I want. I’m aware of other models and brands, they’re just not what I want.
@@JBJHonez I own and hunt Winchester, Marlin, and Henry lever guns. The best triggers by far are a Henry. The sticky action is caused by riding or babying the lever. Brisk firm working the lever will give you the best results. Now to the range to zero fire my H012G, .44 mag.
Now for chapter 2
I want one of these but not in the brass action. I don't want pretty firearm. I'm not sure what I'll do with it, but when do we need a reason to get a new/different/another rifle
Oh, it won’t be a safe queen but due to the cost of ammo, not a range toy shooting a lot either. I thought about the black/steel model or even the all weather but couldn’t find them for a decent price
Hi how much for the ammo
I don’t sell it
Get a marlin
Send me one
