My henry big boy experience
I saw the Henry Big Boy in .357, and I had to have it. I traded a couple of guns to it. It shot well, but man, was it heavy!
I read someone on here say, if you are going to carry a long gun, with its weight and length, why not carry one in a true rifle round? It made sense, so I traded the Henry and a Ruger LC9 to a Colt Commander. I can carry a 308 with essentially the same weight of a carbine in a handgun caliber.
Just my $.02
