Henry X vs Marlin Dark in .45-70 Gov

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2024
- While few of us ever thought we’d have a blacked-out lever-action hunting rifle on our wish list, here we are with not one, but two.
The Marlin Dark series was followed by the Henry X-Model, both American-made levers. Neither stands head-and-shoulders above the other, but the variance in features, calibers, and price may sway some buyers.
Here’s what you need to know before pulling the trigger on purchasing the Marlin Dark or Henry X Model. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
She probably gives the best hugs and makes a killer strawberry rhubarb pie
And ya better stay off her damn lawn!
She's cold AF with a 45-70 lol
Hahahs
And some awesome tater tot hot dish
Yep
That was some phenomenal marksmanship with .45-70!
She's really good
Another excellent report. Other TH-camrs should take note of how you do it.
Thanks for the nice comment. Glad you enjoyed the video Tom.
But flashy openings and talking for 5min about nothing before talking about the gun...
sad that the Henry has only 4 Rounds, but have a longer barrel😢
@@jakecain3296 She gets into the guns at less than one minute. She did a nice job.
@@Ezekiel903 yeah, I was thinking about only having 4+1, but then I thought, if you have to shoot something more than 5 times with a 45/70 you probably shouldn’t be shooting at it… 😳
She is amazing, straight talk, good shooting, clear comparison and if the SHTF she would put the food on the table better than me! 🏆
I bought the Henry X Model in .44 magnum. I love it. Also shares food with my Super Blackhawk :)
That Marlin one serious little cowboy gun. Talk about a Thumper! Love it. I'm really looking forward to see what Ruger does with Marlin
Agreed. These are two are beauties.
Hopefully Ruger can fix the recent QC issues with Marlin
@Chris_Gullett JJE Capital Holdings, the investment company that owns South Carolina-based Palmetto State Armory, is listed in court filings as the successful bidder of Remington's recently shuttered DPMS black rifle brand as well as the H&R, Stormlake, and Parker brands. Retailer Sportsman’s Warehouse, which recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in mid-2009, is listed with the court as the successful bidder for Remington's TAPCO brand of firearms accessories.

And at Thanksgiving, Ruger said their Marlin acquisition was complete and they looked to start production next year. (re: www.guns.com/news/2020/11/25/ruger-marlin-acquisition-is-complete-to-hit-market-in-2021)
@@nakoawarrior3186 Ruger purchased Marlin Firearms and all of the assets (truckloads of components, spare parts, engineering files, CAD models, tools, gun library, trademarks, patents, copyrights, etc) for just under $30 mill at Remington's bankruptcy auction back in September and has taken possession of all of it. They plan to reboot a Ruger-produced Marlin line in the second half of 2021. Check out Guns dot com News for more information.
@@christophereger1053 yup,... I investigated your remark and bang it came right up,......marlins will be excellent guns again soon.
I have the Henry Model X in 45/70, it is amazing. I would’ve equally taken the Marlin but they were sold out. Can’t go wrong with either
If you love your Henry and it performs well for you that is cool!! I just prefer wood over polymer with lever guns. But I also can see that polymer is very weather resistant.
How many shots does the Henry X tube hold? I heard 6 but haven't seen it in the documentation
Lady, you handled that .45-70 with EASE!!!!! Good Shooting!!
It’s November of 2020 and this video is the closest you’re gonna get to either of those rifles...
hard to acquire?
yeah, i checked out the site all of em out of stock.. like everything in the country.
I've been trying to get one of either since October. Nothing!
@@jeffreyallen1290 Oh Brother.... it's going to be like this for a while eh?
You guys waited till the last minute? Lol
I like the fact that the Marlin has a shorter barrel, (easier in heavy brush) and still has a capacity of one more round in the tube.
personally I wouldn't care about which one I get, I just know it would feel awesome to fire and own a quality American made lever action.
They're both sweet rifles.
Henry gets my vote. Tube loading, pic rail, along with the longer barrel. Hands down
Right on!
Ya that whole modern improvement thing is hard to take for some.
Good thing we still have choices here in the USofA.
I have 1 Marlin and 6 Henry's enough said.
Marlin all the way here. I'll take a wooden stock over synthetic plastic all day.
@@christopho7111I'm traditional over synthetic. Henry has beautiful Missouri walnut.
What an amazing review 👏🏼, no bias, straight shooter, great job!
By far one of the best reviews I think I’ve watched. I’ve been wanting the Henry for a bit now, and was curious on the differences between the Marlin. Perfect side by side comparison
Can we be best friends? 🤣 But really, this is an awesome video. I'm gonna save it the next time when I mention I'm saving up for a Marlin in 45-70 and someone tells me it's too much gun for a woman. 🤪
Awesome girl, just tell um you to much girl for the rifle, and to bite me lol
"it's too much gun for a woman" is a solid phrase lol
These cannons do kick! I made some easier reloads and am loving it! 300g bullets and 1590 fps = perfect punch and accuracy for me.
@@darinhintz5723 that's moose keeling power o.0
The lady is pleasant natured and sure has a lot of interest in guns. Nice shooting, too.
It’s February of 2022 and the Henry X series is shipping. You may have to have your dealer order one or buy from Gunbroker if that’s your sort of thing. With Marlin, everything hinges on how quickly Ruger can get their Marlin rifles to market. I have no idea on how many rifles they took in receivership and how tooled up their assembly process is currently. Everyone I know who is a lever gun fan swears they will buy the first “RuMar” serial numbered lever gun in their town. Even if that means paying upwards of $1600+ . . .My dad bought a Marlin “All Weather Finish” in 45/70 about 10 years ago. He mounted a red dot scope on it and took one shot at a target at 25 yards. Unloaded and re-cased the gun and it hangs on a wall with other (lesser used) guns. He said “we don’t have anything around here that needs that much killin’”. Despite that experience he can’t wait for his chance to buy another Marlin in 45/70 . . just because Ruger is releasing and my dad has about one of every Ruger revolver ever produced.
1st time ever seeing one of your videos. Very impressed. Quick and to the point and great shooting. Keep up the good work.
I really cannot deside, both looks great! All i know i need a lever action 45-70 with a red dot or open sights and the Henry wont ship to Sweden anytime soon due to covid. Thank you for showing both rifles!
I missed out on a Marlin 4570 at a pawnshop in San Antonio two years ago. $599.
If they will not ship maybe you should fly here and pick it up yourself?
@@MrWeliz I still have not got my hands on either one so far, so that is probably my best chance. Had the opportunity to shot a 30-30 lever action on steel and man that was great fun. So my toughts on a 45-70 has not changed a bit and will make a great hunting tool.
This hadn't been released before buying my 1895D. I love that little big bore. As you experienced, it is ridiculously accurate. I wasn't aware of the differences of the Henry as there weren't any in stock nearby, but the tube load is a definite plus for a hunting rifle. Great comparison video!
I like this lady, something about her just makes me smile, and was a good video. That Henry though... boy she sure sounded good.
Glad you enjoyed it NP.
Great work! Fun video comparing two fascinating rifles!
Couldn't decide between these two rifles until this video ,it was a big help thank you
Awesome reviews and shooting Kristin
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great comparison video, looks like either brand would be a good choice, especially in such a large round, and what a fantastic bit of shooting, great to watch 👍
love this lady. i've skipped around on so many videos about these lever actions, this is probably the first one i watched start to finish.
Really good video I was very intrigued by the accuracy comparison between those two makers .
Wow, that's great for 45/70 In my experience! Great shooting and review. Two very nice firearms. 👍🏻
Very good video! Thanks for sharing! I’m a marlin guy myself!
Great shooting Kristin. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Thomas.
Awesome review! Can’t wait to pick up my Henry next week!
Would love to get my hands on both.
Lever action rifles are my favorite to shoot.
They're fantastic. Thanks for the comment Steven.
I bought both after watching this video 😂
Wonderful rifles, nice woman.., she knows about guns !!! 👍
@@totallynotawerewolf2936 how much did you pay for them?
Well organized, straight to the point, and good shooting. No wasted time with jaw jacking. Much appreciated. Kentucky
Great review. I like that not only do you know how to shoot but you know how to properly use the Marlin cross bolt safety for the advantages it offers for shooting safely.
Unbelievable accuracy for lever action!!! You made a miracle!!!
Excellent review/comparison! Thank you for providing clear facts and information about both options.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video. You have a very credible and authoritative style and in addition to a well thought out comparison presentation. Would be interesting to have you compare and share your thoughts on the Marlin 444 vs the Marlin 45-70 cartridges and their performance characteristics. Thanks!
Love my Marlin 45-70 Dark... had it for about 3 months now... no issues
How much are ammo for the 45 70 now I stocked up on mine years ago so haven't bought any
@@easttxtycoon its pricey... I bought 10 boxes when I bought the rifle and spent 32 dollars a box I think. I havent seen any 45-70 on the shelves of my local CAL Ranch store (where I got the rifle and ammo), nor at our local gun shop since then, so good thing I got what I did then
I have the Henry X 45/70 and love it. I was lucky it only took me 3 months to get. Thanks for the video.
I wouldn't have thought either gun would have shot so well. Thanks Kristin.
Yep, she's such a good shooter that we get to see close to the true MOA of the rifles. About as good as it gets. That's why I trust and always watch her reviews
The .45/70 is my all time favorite round. My first big bore rifle was a Navy Arms Rolling Block I purchased in 1972 while stationed in Alaska. My next .45/70 was a H&R Trapdoor Cavalry Carbine I picked up in 1973 while home on leave. My favorite rifle was the Marlin 1895 I bought from a friend from South Carolina. My load for that one is Elmer Keith's load of 3931 powder behind a 405 JSP. It kills on one end and cripples on the other.
Excellent meat and potatoes video of one of my oldest used and favored rounds, the 45-70. To "date" my long relationship with the 45-70 and the heirloom rifle that was chambered for it, is displayed in restored condition in the family room, is the Model 1886 Winchester. Grandad, willed the rifle to my father and it was one of the first long guns that he schooled me with, as he shared his life lessons of the manual of arms. That Winchester was used well and well traveled in its 100+ years with my family's ancestors, all Army veterans, serving from the Horse Cavalry of the late years of the Indian Wars to the AEF-2nd Div of WW1, from 1st Cav of WWII-Pacific to 1st Cav Airmobile of Vietnam.
Post WW1, Grandad hunted game to feed his family and protect them in the Depression years, Dad learned to do both as the second oldest born. It was his personal firearm and backup to his Army issue in WWII-Pacific, the 45-70 ammo was still available, in use then and inventory for use today(!). When Dad's former Southeast Asia troopers come calling to pay homage to their old Sarge, my Dad, it is with reverence and some wry soldier humor that the Winchester is reminisced. At the Pleiku fire-base the newer 45-70-500 mil-spec ammo took its toll of many night time infiltrators, by Dad's 6th AMTU expertise with iron sights, the close-quarter devastation was unforgettable to the enemy. The former troopers nicknamed the Winchester: The Duke's Thunderstick...
Awesome job with the shooting and the video editing. I like how you had the target picture in picture. I've been thinking about getting a 45-70 for a while now. I think you sold me on the Marlin vs the Henry, although I wouldn't scoff at either.
Fantastic review 👏 👌🏼
Kristen, you're absolutely the best I've seen at using your trigger finger control.
Nice shooting!
Great shooting, Kristin.
Thanks Noah.
Outstanding review! Thank you!
Great video! Very well done. I am very impressed with the accuracy of both rifles. I like the Henry for the versatility of loading. But I like the short barrel of the Marlin for maneuverability in tight quarters and possible backpack-ability.
She's kicking ass and taking names! I love her.
Dude, this lady can shoot! Those groupings were impressive!!
Nice. Going to have to check out the Henry. Never liked the old tube loading, but this changes things. Been looking for a 45-70 for Southern Michigan hunting, now that we can use straight walled ammunition.
This is the most knowledgeable female I have seen on a gun TH-cam channel. I know she is ready a script but she seems really nice.
OK. I give up! I am 64 years old. A former Marine Rifleman. I grew up shooting trained by my Dad a former Marine Raider. My Dad and his Dad grew up in the South and my Dad learned to shoot like so many Southerners from his Dad. I consider myself an OK shot. You, however, are a Goddess! I can not believe how tight you grouped those two rifles at 100. My hat is off to you and I am now subscribing. You are one Hellofashot!
Nice report. I like the straight forward no nonsense approach. Just the facts, ma'am.
She comes off to me as the lady that will make u tea and talk about guns. Good host :)
Kristin's the best. Glad you enjoyed Elias.
Good comparison with a pleasant and professional presentation!
Great video and review. Been curious about both of these models.
I would never work the safety like this but I am glad you did because it shows a great discipline for the viewers here. Trigger Finger is something I do and that I also appreciated in the video. Great video really representing firearm safety for us as well as some really good shooting!
Thank you very much for the "vs." vid. It was needed because I've been wondering which one to get........both :)
That was a great presentation, I've made up my mind, I would love to have that Henry X
Thanks. Was looking for this review. I have the Henry. I went with Henry for barrel length and sights.
My Henry 45-70 (pre X model) is a pleasure to shoot. My Marlin 336 in 35 Rem is a killer. Love them both. The Marlin is a Marlin, not a Rem Marlin.
I know it's late (January 2022) but those are some fine shooting guns. Good job on the reviews. Great channel!!
Great review, great shooting as well. Thanks for sharing
Very professional. I'm impressed with the video and the guns.
I've got the Henry X in 44. Love it. I don't envy you squeezing those 45-70s off
I added the Ranger Point Precision brake to my Henry X 45-70 and the recoil is now similar to my 7mm-08.
@@MarAgt I snapped up a Henry X in 30-30 as soon as I found it available. Put a Griffin armament linear compensator on it and shoot it with my 30 caliber can. It is downright pleasant to shoot.
Loved the video two excellent rifles and you maam are quite a good shot. I have a Marlin 1895 with a 20" barrel and absolutely love it.
Glad you enjoyed it Rodney.
Great review, great shooting. Thank you!
Two very exceptional lever actions. I have several Marlins that I love, and I got my girlfriend one of the Henry X model 410 shotguns for home defense, and man that is a sweet little lever action shotgun. Thinking about getting myself one of the new Henry side gate big boys.
Awesome reviews.. She does a great job !!! Thank you!!!
I love old Marlin and Winchesters but I always had a soft spot for BLRs
Even though you had a fastball in your pocket as far as " episode popularity " goes with this model rifle....you,...once again , have delivered an outstanding presentation. The previous video had me immediately doing some price checking. ..And good news, if you can find the Henry at Dunham sports in Michigan, it currently has a price " to low for me to post here". ha ha ha
Good straightforward review. Refreshing and informative.
Awesome review by a real shooter and sportswoman. Well done ma'am.
Excellent honest display..both are top quality firearms..I have Marlin 1895 gbl and love it...but no slight to Henry...BOTH ARE OUTSTANDING AND YOU DELIVERED A NON PARTISON COMPARISON....Keep up your professional and honest work..
Great shooting! Love the 45-70! I just bought a Model 1895.
EXCELLENT video! Thank you for the great work, much appreciated!
Very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it Tom.
It’s so fantastic to see smart respectful women enjoying the big bore hunting rifles. Awesome!
Excellent video thank you for the comparison.
Always great vids...! Excellent comparison thanks.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it Zee.
These videos are so well done, and this chick is great! I said this same thing on the last video she did on that same Marlin: she handles those rifles way better than my buddies can haha
Thank you, very informative, great review.
Hi, I really enjoy your videos. Your straight forward style is certainly refreshing. I bought a Marlin Dark in .444 Marlin in October 2020. It is one of my favorite guns. I have to say I paid about $1800 for it though and I've seen the more popular 45-70 go for as much as $3300 on GB. I don't quite understand why the 45-70 is more popular since, ballistically the .444 had a slight advantage. Rounds are expensive and sometimes hard to find though. Thanks for the great videos and please keep them coming.
Perfect description.
You would outshoot 99% of men.
Excellent video, very well done and informative
Great video. I have owned the Marlin Guide gun. And I loved it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this review, and Kristin was an excellent marksman and reviewer.
You are absolutely right, I do need one.
Love me some 45-70 and I love it in a lever action. Own Henry, Marlin, Rossi and H&R. Want them all in the “Black” models now. 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
After Henry added the side loader, they made the choice tough, but I will go with Marlin yet I don’t mind buying the Henry if I couldn’t find the marlin
The Marlin to me looks a little too beefy, and almost like a shotgun. The Henry looks like a proper lever action rifle, but updated with the black butt and grip and the picatinny rails. I'm liking Henry for looks alone and assuming they're both good performers... which I'm sure they are.
How about both?
Nice shooting! Great video!
Nice review and excellent shooting!
Good shooting specially with the Henry noticed the wind pushing on the target
Well done, enjoyed your presentation
Man I love the look of that marlin!
It's a beauty. We have them on our site!
I got my first Marlin 45-70 back in 1977 I think first or second year production. I remember shooting RR ties and and making splinters!
I have the Henry X in 357 and 45 Colt, 45 70 is on my list. Using Buffalo Bore deer grenades or Hornady lever evolution, the 45 is my favorite straight wall hunting rifle I've ever owned. Hands down.
I got lucky and found a Henry X 45-70 on the rack at Palmetto State Armory last April before things got really crazy. I mounted a Vortex 2-7x32 scope and Ranger Point Precision muzzle break. I’ve hunted all season with my 45-70 and have taken 2 bucks & 1 doe with it. I am really enjoying this rifle.
Great vid. Also excellent shooting. Keep it up Kristen.
I REALLY enjoyed this review... Kristin is on point 👍
Great review and shooting Kristen. I’m in the market for a 45/70 for bear hunting from a stand. Been using a 3006 which gets the job done but I want more thump and something shorter and easier to manage in a tree stand. I think the marlin with a 1-4 power red dot reticle wood be killer.
