The Henryitis is worsening, but I adhered to my "if a gun comes in, another must go out" discipline (to use a term loosely) by dispensing with my S&W 67-1.
Bought this online from Tombstone Tactical, which I had monitored for years but never purchased from. Ordered last Wednesday and it showed up at my FFL on Friday!
Here are some close-ups of the CCH treatment, which is much more striking than I expected (in a good way), so I hope the photos do it justice. To my eye, it's just beautiful, and equally as "one of a kind" as the Henry walnut (which, in this rifle, is very plain, but that's okay, too).
It's now wearing a 2-7X33 Leupold VX Freedom and nice buffalo sling. Will post more pics and hopefully a decent target or two after tomorrow's range dial-it-in session.
Spelling edit.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Color Case Hardended 30-30!
Your photos of the mottled CCH colors sure do outshine even the Henry web site photos...very nice!
And congrats also on having a rifle with so much deer-hunting history behind it.
Enjoy-enjoy.

Absolutely beautiful Henry. I wish they made the case colored 30-30 with a pistol grip stock like the case colored 45-70. I would order one tomorrow if they made the pistol grip model. Congratulations ESquared on getting a beauty.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: Color Case Hardened 30-30!
Thanks, guys, it certainly exceeded my expectations. Here are a couple more photos with scope and sling attached. Ordered the Talley scope rings from Henry (LOW) and the scope is still a bit higher than I would like, but I wanted to keep the overall look cleaner and avoid the rail. Trade-offs, I guess.
As noted earlier, the wood is unremarkable, but I don't know that I'd want it to compete with the CCH. So much for my gun design expertise!
Range targets and performance notes to come later in Range Reports.
