45-70 Feeling the need

[Conax]

Well, I didn't think about saving the 8% NY sales tax on Gunbroker. What the heck. I just ordered an all weather! I found one for a good price, free shipping and I actually saved 40 bucks. I can tell the wife I saved money by buying it (if I tell her at all). I can use my store credit on optics. Now I wait.

good for you! I hope it comes in in great shape.
I loove mail ordering stuff, never knew why, just love it.
I used to send in those box tops and get boobie prizes from cereal companies in the 1960s.
Sometimes it was a 2 month wait, I'd forget about it all together, then one day BAM, a surprise in the mail.
Love mail order.

My 45-70 All Weather has arrived. I decided to transfer it to my buddy who has been waiting for months to get one. I will get another. Was not disappointed at all. Very nice gun. We decided it was a he since it will get the job done and not complain (long story). Will have range reports when we shoot them.

Got mine today. I got to hold a standard H010 and an AW. I had to get the AW. I will mention that the date on the inspection tag is 1/5/18 so Henry must be building more 45-70 AW's. My initial inspection and fondling was very positive. I didn't notice any flaws. Fit and finish is very nice. I like the sight and would have been able to shoot it well when my eyes were a little younger. This baby is going to be a keeper.

looking forward to your future range reports and information exchanges .... good to hear she seems to be in great shape .... please take a look at our How Many ? thread (at this link http://henryrifleforums.com/viewtopic.p ... 590#p51590 ) and add your Henry rifle to our community's total and revisit it as you add others to your collection

I have one and love it. I havent got to shoot it enough but when I have I have really enjoyed it. I m still working with it reloading wise and trying to find a load it likes. I have found a couple so far but more testing is needed. Al

Bmur that is a beauty congrats. What attracted you more to the AW than to the H010? Did they feel different? Or was it just the looks?

Congratulations, that is a real cool rifle.

I liked the standard H010 but I just felt that if i bought it then I would have to get an AW in the future. That could work in reverse though. Pretty sure this won't be my last Henry. Kind of the same problem I have with 1911's

For me it was the looks. As it was when I bought the CCH model. I like the pistol grip style which alot of people dont because its not traditional on a levergun. Kind of like a Henry with a tube feed. It cant be a levergun unless it has a side gate.
