Brass vs CCH 45-70
Would anyone with experience handling both of these care to share the differences in weight and handling? I handled a brass version at Walmart and it felt ok. Is the CCH considerably lighter? What about balance? I now it could be subjective as far as how they feel but it would help to answer some questions while I save up the money. Thanks

Re: Brass vs CCH 45-70
I have the CCH and no I havent handled the brass model. The biggest reason I havent is while the brass model is nice looking that nice looking goes right out the window after the trigger is pulled on one of those high powered torpedos. That brass butt plate will not be very pretty slamming your shoulder. The CCH has an old man friendly recoil pad on it and is nice to shoot. I also have the All Weather version which I really like for its handling

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Brass vs CCH 45-70
I'll second what Al is saying. I've shot my share of metal crescent buttplate 45-70 rifles and fun, they are not, to shoot. A serious recoil pad is your friend when shooting a 45-70.

Re: Brass vs CCH 45-70
Good points. Do you hunt with your CCH’s or are they strictly for the range?

Re: Brass vs CCH 45-70
also agree with Al ... we have a CCH and wouldn't want to fire one without a recoil pad

Re: Brass vs CCH 45-70
We have a CCH 45-70 and I can't imagine it being lighter than anything other than an Original Henry rifle - especially when it is fully loaded with four rounds of 45-70... Henry's website lists the weight for both the CCH and the Brass 45-70 at 8.10 lbs. I agree with what the others said about 45-70 recoil and brass buttplates - not so much fun without a good heavy coat on - the CCH with its excellent recoil pad is a joy to shoot.

I carried mine one year for hunting but now carry a bolt gun for the longer ranges here. I still use mine as a range gun and spare.

Re: Brass vs CCH 45-70
Ok well, you all just twisted my arm into buying my third Henry. Thanks. Now I just have find one locally. They don’t seem to be as available as the brass ones. Thanks for all the comments. I’ll let know when I get it.

Re: Brass vs CCH 45-70
Just a thought here. I did this with my AW since they were hard to get. Email Anthony and tell him you want one but cant find it locally. He will make it happen. He did for me.
