Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Does anyone have one yet?......
Re: Does anyone have one yet?......
I got to shoot an H&R chambered in .223 yesterday. What a treat. Very fun rifle to shoot. If Henry does as good, and I expect their's we be even better, we are going to be happy campers.

Re: Does anyone have one yet?......
So it's past mid-September and almost October. Any body have any news about availability?

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I just checked Gunbroker and they have the 223 steel listed for $329.59 with free shipping .

I just had an "E-mail conversation" with Henry that said that the rifles are in production, but it'll be a while before all the distributors get what they've ordered. It's going a bit slower than they hoped, I guess. It's good to hear at least one is out there .

Some of the ones that were on gunbrocker are gone. I wonder if anyone has written a review on one yet, especially on a 45-70.

It’s my turn to whine.
I’ve been looking forward to these since they announced them. It’s been a year now, I think? More gun mamufacturers could do well by taking a page from Ruger’s playbook and have guns available the day they are announced.

I believe Henry has said they will not announce any more new rifles until they are available.ditto1958 wrote:It’s my turn to whine.

I just noticed a review (5 stars!) of an undetermined caliber on Cabelas Web Site, where they still show them as "out of stock, backorderable". I haven't bugged anyone at Henry about mine (ordered and paid for in April) lately, but it's about time I do, again . I think I'll ask for hand selected great wood . Since I didn't get it in time for deer season, it's not real urgent, at this point. Still, I'd like to get my hands on one, winter is a good time to plan how to set it up.

My steel reciever 45-70 arrived at my dealer today, and is now in my hands . We've all seen pictures of these, so I'll fill in some details. I'm really impressed with the fit and finish, and the wood quality is pretty nice, too, with strong grain and some fiddleback. The wood fit is barely, if at all, proud to the metal. Overall, It's close to being as nice as my Ruger #1-A 7mm Mauser. Checkering on the forearm wraps all the way around, while on the stock it consists of two panels; the checkering itself is sharp and clean. The forearm is attached with a phillips head screw, similar to the NEF/H&R rifles. The trigger feels good, not heavy, but until I find a snap cap, I really can't tell weight. The rifle weighs 6 lbs 13 1/2 oz., for those wondering how hard it's going to kick . It's 15 above and windy, so I'll report back on that when the weather is suitable for sighting in and playing with it a bit (and I decide about scope and mounts). All in all, it was worth waiting for.
