Is this for real?

Over on the Marlin site there is a link that shows that H.R.A. is making side gate loading rifles in 38-55, 30-30 and 35 Remington. Is this for real?

Ya think Henry will ever consider handguns in the old west tradition? Just a thought. Henry's reputation could maybe allow them to open new options...

Smart move to gain market share. HRA has been missing a huge chunk of the shooting population by not offering a side gate.

Pretty positive.

Most over there are Loading Gate fans.

Hmmm...maybe too much of a Henry fan, but I AINT no cowboy either. Mag tube is fine with me. All things considered...I like it!
The less metal to metal scraping together, the better to me. If I had to always load through a gate, I think the receiver would eventually get marred up. No pinched fingers either.
I can see how it might be advantageous if I was on horse back like RR and maybe some others, but thats not me.
