This will be my 1st steel model. Anything I need to pay attention to?
I do have two Golden Boys

Congrats on your new steel Big Boy, Leonardo!
I know you'll get other responses on what "to pay attention to." So...

I'll only add my enthusiasm on your rifle choice. I'd be watching for how very accurate your BB will shoot, and for how smooth the lever action will be. Both will happen!! :D Enjoy and have great fun with the Henry.

congrats on your BBS 44 Mag .... ours has quickly become one of our favorite rifles .... the main difference I can tell between it and a Golden Boy is the balance and it has less recoil


please be sure to check our How Many ? thread (link below) where you can add it and if your haven't done so already, your other Henry rifles to our community's total

Welcome and congrats! Look forward to hearing your impressions and range reports on your new BBS! Also would like to know how you think it compares to your Golden Boys in terms of handling, accuracy, etc. I'm sure it will be a blast to shoot (on many levels)!

the easiest way is to go to the Henry website ===> https://www.henryusa.com/henry-rifles-and-shotguns/ .... click on 44 Mag and scroll down to the Big Boy section .... there your can see all of there lines and read what makes each model different from the rest

As far as Henry is concerned, the steel model has a steel receiver vs a brass alloy
