Love Henry rifles

I am glad to see that they have been doing this now. I have wanted a side loading Henry in .357 for a while now. I never got around to buying one of the newer model X guns but I did see a lot of videos in which people talked about how great it was to shoot 38 special with a can out of one. https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/big-boy-x-model/

Now, find one in the wild.

I have a Browning B-92 in .357 Mag, but if I could find a Henry or Rossi under $500, I would pick one up...just because I don't want to mess up my Browning. I can't imagine Henry getting the MSRP unless the current panic buying continues.

Damn, that would be a nice mate for my Big Boy.

Trekker · Nov 28, 2020

Very interesting news indeed. Are there any ideas when these will become readily available, as in walk into my LGS to put one on order?

Uncle Duke · Nov 28, 2020

Unless I missed something, it looks like both .327 and .41 mag are no longer available.

Damn, I'd have bought a 41 side gate.

They also put out 350 Legend, 450 Bushmaster, and 12 Gauge Slug barrel versions of their single shot rifles and shotguns. All of which should actually show up in stores closer to $430 instead of their listed MSRPs since that’s what the existing ones go for, even during the pandemic they haven’t hit the MSRP from what I’ve seen.

I buy from a local Henry dealer Bob's Sunoco in Callaway typically a lot less than MSRP. http://bobssunoco.net/index.html

The Big Boys are not cheap, case-hardened just over $1K and the steel goes just over $900.

If they made a .357 carbine in stainless, I'd be all over it.

Ngrovcam · Nov 29, 2020

I love the feel of a Henry, that it’s US made,
and a side-loader is great...not crazy about
the loading tube thing, although it’s use
on the new side loader apparently
is not required as it can be loaded through
the gate...but, dang, Henry’s are so pretty,
I wouldn’t want to ding ‘em all up in the
field...wish I could afford a “JM” pre-safety
Marlin.357. Just a few years ago, they were
$600 all day long...now, often a grand plus.

I’ve never understood why the larger calibers command so much higher if a premium than the .22 models.

Cant imagine they cost that much more to produce.

They do. The 22 Henry’s are zinc subframes encapsulated by a cover. Relatively easy to manufacture and pretty inexpensive. The centerfire guns are more expensive both material- and machining-wise.
