New Henry?

[GFK]

It seems the tube load\load gate combo would give the best of two worlds (simpler loading and unloading). Rifle is not taken out of service for loading nor are live round thrown on the ground during unloading. Seems like a win-win. Looks kind of fancy though. I probably be concern with taking it to any place other than to a range.

I never understand this statement, it's a rifle/tool. Use it for what they were intended.
No matter what rifle I buy, and if it is new or used, it is going to the woods.
Sure it may get a ding or a scratch, but it's just a tool.
I guess you wouldn't consider a used gun, because it may have a scratch.
I don't intentionally beat mine up but if by some reason it gets a scratch or a ding I don't sit down and cry.
Heck any range trip could have the same effect, end of rant.

I got two and I wouldn't.

I tend to side with Vaquero. If you have a Ballard rifling Marlin in .35 Rem, KEEP IT! You won't find those everyday.

336 Ballard 35 Rem would have to be pre 53 +- or an xlr.

Opps! I believe you're right. I stand corrected.

Dang-it. Was gonna get out of the shooting sports now they come along with a new 38-55. I'll starting saving.

This could be true. I guess I see it like a Sunday go to meeting suit. Sure, I could wear a suit for hunting. But, it may not be the best choice. Likewise, of course, the rifle could be used for hunting. It just would not be my first choice. But, to each their own. This why there are so many choices.

My wife use to complain about me using the van to haul plywood. So, I got a truck. Then, she complained that there was not enough room in the truck for the whole family. I explained that is what the SUV is for. I guess you cannot win them all. Oh well.

I think I know what my next rifle will be, a Henry in .357 with a side loading gate !

[babo]

oh god, i really hope they make receiver covers with the side loading that is somehow compatible with existing henrys!!

Cool Video.

anti-pinch "The gate itself is very nicely radiused, without any sharp edges that could catch on a cartridge or one’s thumb." "The case rims do not hang up on the edge of the spring, and the edge of the spring itself doesn’t pinch or scratch one’s thumb (or glove, for that matter)."
