Henry 45/70 consideration

[bikemutt]

Been considering a Henry 45/70 or Marlin 1895 45/70. Wondering if anyone here has experience with the Henry?

No experience with the henry but I love my guide gun.

I have yet to see the Henry in person. I would like to hear from people who have had one in their hands as well.

45/70 Marlin 1895

I have had 3 different Marlins and 2 H&R single shots.I have shot both 300 & 400,405 jacket and cast.RL#7 for reloading.They shoot as while many bolt guns.Mild targets loads too bears Hit once shooting is over.I think the ones made with cut rifle bore is best for lead bullets.The older marlins called micro grove.Are best jacked bullets.I saw a HENRY at a gun in Daytona Fla.nice:but over $725.00 & tax.The H&R and NEF single shots are good,and shoot well when you find the load shoots well for you.Good luck.

No experience with Henry, but my 1895G would shoot just over 1" at 100 yards with GA Arms 300-gr JHPs.

I held one (Henry) several times at the LGS; should have bought it. It pointed well, was well made, and I liked the ghost ring sight.

No experience with the Henry. I too have the Guide Gun and love it. Compact, handy, accurate, sights easy and packs a whallop. I bought mine when they first came out, it has the ported barrel.

My lgs had one about 6 months ago. It was better made than a marlin and pretty slick. It already had a ghost ring rear sight.

Love my SS GG as well. I prefer the side loader to the Henry tube load. Call me old fashioned. If you're not gonna scope it and want nostalgia, look for a Browning 1886. A faithful replica of the original design.
