i love it! i just wish it and other lever guns were not so expensive now days. They used to be the cheap way to go. K mart, Wal mart and the local hardware all carried them. The Rossi's are about 20% cheaper and they are made in Brazil. Why does Henry, and now Ruger, charge us for a tariff that they do not pay? Bring the price down! Make these truly America's gun again.
Tariffs for Henry: NJ taxes, OSHA, EPA, BATFE, American wages, levers require more machining and fitting than ARs or bolt guns.
Rossi is no where near the quality of a Henry.
For these specifically, you’re definitely paying for a higher quality product and more features. But the Rossi’s are still cool.
@@BabyMachine and the Rossi isn’t threaded.
Like 1911s, lever guns were designed and built in an era where automation was more expensive than human labor. Great granpa's model 94 or Colt .45 that's slicker than goose shite and works no matter what had a lot of hand fitting. Replicating that now costs big money. Also inflation, business costs here in the US, Europe and even Brazil. Tisas and other Turkish products much like Chinese Norinco's when we could still get them are so cheap yet good quality is because the exchange rate is 31 Turkish liras equals 1 USD and 1.09 Euro. So we better hope they start making lever guns and never meet the requirements to switch to the Euro.
I've owned this rifle for a little over a year and put thousands of rounds through it. Have had a really great time with it both at the range (very popular there) and taking it out hunting. Customized mine using items from the good people at Ranger Point Precision.
You didn't teach us anything with that comment.
I have a bicycle. I put 30 miles in since January. I put new reflectors on it. Bought them from Target. Really nice check-out lady.
@@Frip36 You didn't teach any of us anything with your comment, except what an egg you are. Nobody in the comment section is here to personally be your nanny and teach you anything at all.
Bought mine last year! Paid too much but it’s a blast to shoot!
What u pay from where bro ?
@@swim1077 grab a gun last year and it was 799.99+ tax and transfer fees
Considering the price now that's not bad at all
Love my Henry .357x! Put on a ChiselMachine handguard and it’s perfect
I had been searching for one for 2 years locally and online with no luck. I bit the bullet and bid on one through GB and won. Paid way too much but should have it in my possession week.
I've used the one chambered in .45 colt a lot, its a nice versatile gun. Basically a scaled up version of this, standard velocity .45 colt rounds are still pretty powerful and +P loads can exceed top end .44 magnum loads(although handloading is pretty much required if you want to shoot much of the hot loaded .45s, factory +P ammo is cost prohibitive).
Recently saw one of these on an app I'm on and fell madly in love with it. Had a wood stock, Magpul hand guard with wood accents and a red dot. Haven't been that excited in a while and will be my next build. Thanks for putting this up.
Did you buy it a silky red nightgown for bedtime?
I just bought one, and i will be able to possess it after jumping through a shit load of unconstitutional state hoops .
I keep seeing them available on auction sites, etc. and they have been selling for well above the MSRP. I got lucky the other day and found the Big Boy X .357 available at a big box sporting goods store for a really good price and ordered it instantly. Can't wait to have it in a few days from now. Henry makes great lever guns and they are all American. Great job on the video.
What store was this? I finally found my 45-70 X model last year. Been looking for 357mag for a year now and only see 44magnum available in the X model.
How is it?
@@fortnite.burger
It's absolutely awesome. I like taking the Henry out with a .357 revolver and being able to only need one caliber of ammo. As you know, actually .38 or .357 and that's what makes it even better. You can plink with cheaper .38 target ammo and then use .357 when you want to hit bigger stuff.
The rifle is great and I have had no problems whatsoever. The fit and finish is excellent, just like most Henry's. I definitely recommend this rifle for anyone interested in a lever gun. Make sure you shop around because a lot of places are taking advantage of its popularity and they were jacking up the prices when I was looking for one. I got mine at Sportsmans Warehouse and the price was really good. It was worth the short wait. Good luck.
@@notsosilentmajority1 That's awesome, Which length did you get? Once I get my firearms license (I live in a communist state), I'm purchasing one of these. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
@@fortnite.burger
I think they only come in one length. I just checked the website and the barrel is 17.4 inches and the rifle has an overall length of 36.3 inches. It weighs a little over 7 pounds and has no real recoil to speak of.
Sorry to hear you're in a communist state but you might want to start looking for one now because I just checked Sportsmans website and they are out of stock again. Do a lot of shopping around so you don't overpay. By the time you get your license, it might be the same time that the rifle comes in. I think you'll really enjoy this rifle. Best of luck. 👍
I would love to have one of those. Gotta save.
I got mine! My first lever action & I couldn't be happier. Just have to decide if I want to dress it up or leave it plain Jane. That Chisel stock & handguard are calling my name...
What about ranger point I like theirs an a lil less expensive but not by much
Just found one at an online retailer and ordered it immediately. Been looking for a couple years.
I swear it's so crazy that I just bought this gun 3 weeks ago an every time I see your videos ur getting the same gun or just bought the gun I'm buying next i also live in Lincolnton NC an love all ur videos!! Looking for a Marlin 45-70 sbl or even trapper would do but that next on the list!!!
great info, was looking for exactly this video.
I have an older one with wood furniture, no side gate then, but love the rifle. Want one now with wood , side gate and in 44, that's the next purchase.
I'd love to have the Beautiful wood stock version with the matching Uberti cattleman same caliber ! Perfect pair .🤠
I just customized mine with wood-veneer shelf liner.
Perfection! Awesome!
I need one of those.
I could use my Omega 9K suppressor with this, already have the 5/8 x 24 thread attachment. Gettin' one of these!
Get the Omega Man KK. It's what undercover cops use.
Great video , thank you
I saw one of these at my local shop. Was kinda nice, but at that price and a plastic stock I just couldn't see paying that much. Still good review.
On top of that most people replace the stock and handgaurd anyway. Still worth it imo. Such a cool gun.
Love lever actions. Dad passed down his Marlin 30-30. Wish it was chambered for .357 and .38 special! Also wish it had a threaded barrel!
Trade a .30-30 for a .357 ? Not me, buddy. Id like to have a .357 lever gun, but I cut my teeth on .30-30.
@@johncox2865 I didn't say trade... I love that 30-30. Just wish I had both. ✌👍
You can always thread the barrel yourself with a Vixen Zepher corkscrew scalpel. German steel version will take you about half an hour and you're done.
I definitely want one ‼🤠
Been trying to find one for a while now
Bass pro shop
Took me 10 months to find one that wasnt $1000-1300
Maybe change out the batteries in your metal detector. See you on the beach Pete.
Good intro on this one!!
Thanks
Any chance you could see if .38LC will cycle in the Henry?
Sweet gun. I'd love a 357 lever action. I wish it had a hardwood stock, but that one is not bad at all and probably better for hunting and home defense.
Henry makes a 16" barrel carbine with walnut furniture in.357
@@cliffwebb1443 Henry is making the best American guns these days but they are all out of my price range.
@@mikeofmanymikes2630 Henry wholesalers are selling new stock to assholes who post them on auction sites for crazy money, creating an artificial shortage and driving retail prices to the moon.
Henry Pride has the walnut stock and hand guard conversion parts.
Love these Western Cow Boy proud - “Made in America, or not make at all”. Love from Texas. HeeHaa
I’ve been looking for this model recently. I’m just trying to decide between the .44 mag or the 357. Looks like lots of fun 👍
If you want to shoot more than 15 rounds in a range trip without a limbsaver go 357.
And a 357 sodekick will be easier, lighter and cheaper to find
@@moshkid16 .44 special is a thing
@@moshkid16 Yeah if you shoot factory ammo only .44 special is gonna be more pricey. Shooting 25-50 rounds every once and a while wouldn't be that bad though. The .357/.38 special version is definitely the way to go if you want to shoot a lot. Even if you're hand loading most of your ammo .38 special will still be cheaper. And you can also shoot .38 Long colt if you really want to in them. Another alternative if you do go with the .44 version would be low pressure .44 magnum loads. They tend not to be that expensive and don't have very bad recoil especially out of a rifle.
In the same boat right now. What did you end up deciding?
OK I'll have one this summer I can't take this feeling of emptiness. But it will be a rossi I'm not paid by TH-cam or sponsored so I stay in my lane and budget.
I’m torn between the Henry H009G and this! Being able to shoot 38 is intriguing considering I own a 38 but that wood look of the 30-30 H009G I LOVE. I’m assuming this can be modded with wood. Wish they were cheaper but if I had a dollar for everytime I said that now a days..
Stop procrastinating. Shoplifting is legal now.
Would have liked to have seen you shoot it suppressed... Never had a lever action but at 900+ dollars. not anytime soon.. lol
Video coming
@@704TACTICALis it possible to mount a rail on top to put a red dot on?
If that is USD$900, you are lucky. In NZ here, this Henry is around NZD$2700, which converts to just over USD$1600. You can buy them cheap, even though you might not think so.
Henry needs to ramp up production these are constantly out of stock
Can't find these anywhere yet
nice! i want one! lol 👍
Man, I'd love this to go with my Ruger .357 revolver.
Have you asked your .357 how she feels about it?
Where u find that?! I work at a shop and been looking almost 2 years for one lol
See them in stock every other day online.
@@jamescruse3544yeah for $400-500 over MSRP. Lol
I just got mine, $869 including transfer.
Should have used the Manhattan transfer and bypassed the fee.
Giddy up! 🐎===💨
I have one of those with a 9mm Suppressor and it's STUPID QUIET people think it's a .22.
Dude even unsupressed 38 special is quiet as hell
Wish I could find this one/
Finally there is a 357 mag Lever that can shoot 38 special 😭😭
I know technical hurdles abound with revolver cartridges being pressed into autoloading semi auto pistols and rifles but I would love to see a reliable autoloading semi auto handgun or rifle in typical revolver calibers. If high point could make a reliable autoloading semi auto carbine in 357 Magnum or 44 magnum they would sell like hotcakes at a Sunday church breakfast fund raiser .
It would be easy to have a tube fed semi auto .44 mag or .357, not so much with box mags
I have a Henry Big Boy 357/.38 steel big lever side-gate carbine: Model H012-GMR.
And ... Thinking about putting a scope on it. My knowledge is very limited on scopes.
Any suggestions ? Anyone .... ???
I'm just letting everybody know I recently bought a rossi 357 lever action and bought armsor 38 special from a store it was full of squib loads only reason my gun didn't blow up is because I knew what happened as soon as I shot and felt it was a way weaker round shot 30 rounds at most had 3 squibs that I had to hit out with a barrel rod
That’s insane. I’ve heard a lot of very seasoned shooters say they’ve only seen 1-2 squibs in their entire lives.
Cost and availability
Is the 357 mag action smaller/shorter than the 30-30 ?
My beef with Henry… they refuse to build a 16inch 30-30 … basically they have zero interest in a trapper version
Henry's not big on traps. Reckons there's something unfair about 'em.
👍
350 Legend ahead?
Nice but the price is 🥴 To high for us po's 😃
Best all round ammo for this gun?
Sweet Pea 190's.
What’s everyone opinion on the Henry? Is it worth the extra $$ over a Rossi?
Dog, hell no.
Based upon that recoil, or lack thereof...
...It looks like the caliber could use about .083" more diameter.😉😁
What were you doing in the first few seconds of the video? Cleaning the barrel?
Loading the rounds from the tube. Unlike Marlin, Henry also has a tube loader along with the side gate. The side gate is a relatively new feature for Henry, they were all tube loaded before. It’s great for loading and unloading.
@@adamb2619 thank you!
@@Emeezyonthetrack Welcome!
Loading the tube......
welp found my next purchase
It hurts me to say it, but I would rather spend my money on a used Remlin as a on a new Henry.
A plastic Henry has no reason to be in my safe !!
I would definitely like one with wood on it✌️
I like wood too, as it always looks so pretty brand new! But I never buy wood, always plastic, as after just a few knocks and scratches wood looks so messed up. Plastic is way more durable than wood. But I do get what you mean, and agree with the initial attraction of wood.
@@yootoobnz8109 Take better care of your guns and you won't have to worry about that, you talk like a dude that has had wood in his mouth before, go play with your plastic toys !!
Shotguns are like ninety bucks. Why is this thing a thousand dollars?
