Is this for real?

I personally think that part of the charm of the Henry is the tube.

Besides I have pinched my fingers on the Marlin enough to dislike the gate........

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

agree .... sounds like a sound business decision to me .... that said, I have no doubt that some new criticism by Marlin purest will surface .. .. my interest in the new line announced centers on the 38-55 .... it is a well spoken of by some members of our forum but its a caliber I know very little about

Well nuts. I just bought a BBSC in .41, and now they come out with this. Guess I'll have to break out the plastic again.

[RanchRoper]

Now we have a choice...eject the tube downrange or pinch fingers...kind of an odd bunch aren't we?

[Rifletom]

Just looking around, .38-55 brass is pretty easy to find: Starline, Brownells, Grafs etc. GOOD!

For those who haven't looked yet here is the link:

Description says it has the standard tube load, as well as the side gate. You can load either way.

As soon as a blue steel Henry 30-30 with a loading gate is available, I am buying one.

They look like nice rifles. Some will still have an issue though, just because they are Henry. That's ok though...I will buy whatever they don't!
