Totally tact out Henry

Post by GunnyGene » Thu Apr 04, 2024 8:14 am

Y'all are gonna hate this, but this is likely the future of lever guns - at least for some folks. :shock:

Interesting timing Gunny, this Henry 45-70 showed up this morning on our local guntrader site. Ugh!

The reason I would put thumbs down on that? Number one? I love the look of the wood and steel.
Number two? I feel it will bring negative attention from the wrong folks to lever actions which for now, they see as innocuous and harmless cowboy guns. Most have never seen video of the rapid accurate fire they can deliver, as seen in cowboy action matches. I see pro gun folks posting videos of themselves shooting revolvers and speed loading to prove just how fast they can reload and fire 12 shots just as fast as a semi-auto. (Yeah, I know, I shot PPC and I carried a revolver for the first few years in patrol, and could put 12 shots in the x-ring in 20 seconds including the speed load.) I still own that Model 60 and it's old, worn and still accurate, like it's owner.

But I don't brag about that to the anti crowd, don't want them adding the Lever guns and the revolvers to their lists. :D

What Marine said, and they'll never be one of those abominations in this household.

I wish someone would give me one. I could trade it for something with walnut and blue steel.

You're right, I hate the bejeezus out of it! Nearly vomit-inducing.

It needs a couple things. Bipod, foregrip, single point sling, and a suppressor instead of the brake. No self respecting Tactical Teddy would be happy without those add-ons. ;)

I have a pair of X-models and to me their beauty is in their utility although the above rifle is far too "tacticool" for me. At the other end of the levergun spectrum a crescent steel butt plate and a rattle ring hold no appeal for me either. To each his own I guess.
