    that is a sweet gun. I would agree that gun would look awesome in wood. it already has a side gate which is a huge plus to me !

    I got the 44 mag because it puts more energy down range. The 357 with a 158gr Speer JHP produces at 1,830 fps from a 20” barrel produces 1,147 ft lbs of energy. At 100 yds the velocity is 1,410 fps with 697 ft lbs of energy, From my 44 Magnum with a 17.5” barrel I can fire a 300 gr JHP at roughly 1,528 fps yielding 1,556 ft lbs at the muzzle. At 100 yds the 300 gr JHP is traveling at 1,301 fps with 1,128 ft lbs of energy. So at the muzzle the 44 magnum produces 409 more ft lbs
    and at 100 yds roughly 431 more ft lbs.

    The 44 magnum is more expensive to shoot if you buy it off the shelf. Since I roll my own not that much of a difference. So the real deciding factor is more energy down range.

    Beauty. I received the new Catalog in the mail the other day and I have to do some shopping. Hope you enjoy it. Henry makes a great rifle.

    I got mine on line from Cornerstone Fire Arms in Colorado. They are popular so you might have to search for a while. Ship it to your local FFL.

    I've got the Golden boy .44 mag rifle. It's an amazingly accurate rifle. Broke the tang on the tube mag a few times due to the recoil and the firing pin twice. But this was after thousands of rounds through it.

    You’ve got the Big Boy. Golden Boys are rim fire.

    Welp, Marlin is screwed.

    I debate this, only because Marlin offers the 336 Black in 16" which has me leaning Marlin, but only for that reason.

    You can load from either end :cool:

    Perhaps I am inexperienced with lever guns, but I see it as a bonus. With the mag tube being removable, I presume allows for the firearm to be unloaded without having to cycle all of the rounds through the chamber.

    I would imagine Henry is going to end up producing a side gate loading .357 in wood configuration. I’m fighting the urge to buy one of these myself, in the meantime.

    If Henry comes out with that .357 configuration, I'll be throwing money at them to get one!

    This rifle just screams put a can on me :D

    The .38 specials I had today were fairly mellow already, this thing just dampens them down even more. A little shove into your shoulder but nothing even a first time or recoil sensitive person would notice. Like a big cap gun :lol2:

    Trigger is nice, the racking action is smooth out of the box and with some use I bet it will get even better. Advertised as holding 7 in the tube, whether .38's or .357's and 8 of them actually fit right in there..

    It was worth the wait :thumbsup:

    I've had my .357/38 Big Boy All Weather for about a year and it is a great shooter, then last week I picked up the X Model in 44Mag/Spl and 200 Mag rounds for it. just need to find the time to clean it and go shoot it.

    Well did some hand loading over the last couple of days ran some ladders on some 243 gr cast flat nose ( plinking AMMO). Then sone 240 gr and 300 gr XTP’s. Put a Picatinny scope Mount and place a Vortex Venom Red dot. The cast for plonking ran 9.0 to 9.5 gr. Of 700 X not a max velocity round I’m guessing around 1,450 FPS out of the 17.5” barrel. The XTP’s are both using Winchester 296. 240’s 23.5 gr to 24 gr. 300’s 20.5 gr to 21 gr. Looking like I should get 1740 or so from the 240’s and Round 1,525 or so from the 300’s
    I like it!! Just need to get that trigger down to 2.5 to 3 lb.
