Most Henry levers will now have side gate loading too.

I would have thought most if not all of the non sidegates would have sold by now. Went shooting today and saw that the LGS had a Henry in 45 colt with a silver receiver that wasn't a sidegate. It looked pretty but not for $1k

Having your cake and eating it too! Icing on the cake is Henry's hard-earned reputation for good customer service.

About time. Maybe I’ll get one now.

I am pretty happy with it. I tried a variety of loads. Some were not very good. Factory 32 H&R Magnum did well. 12.5 Grains of H-110 pushing a 100 grain Swift A-turned in solid results at 60 yards. The Leupold behaved like a Leupold. It did whatever it wanted to do when adjusted. Up and down was pretty good. Left and right was a mystery. The target spot was on a target, not my tractor, when I shot it. This was my final 3 shot group.

It wasn't perfect cycling H&R Mag or long. It was with 327 Federal. With long, as long as the gun was level and the lever worked at medium speed it was perfect. The H&R would jam up on the last one if I was cycling as fast as I could without firing. It didn't seem to be angle sensitive.

I bought a Marlin a few months ago just because of that.

I didn’t want to take the gun apart to load it.

I was told at the time I could get a side gate 30.30, but my heart was set of a .357.

I might have to get a second one now since I’m not happy with the trigger on the Marlin.

The trigger on this one is okay. Not terrible. Not great.
