Henry side loader

Post by leadhoarder » Tue Jun 11, 2019 8:59 pm

I already owned a golden boy and the brass 45/70 rifle and in a moment of weakness I just picked up a 30/30 side loader for what was probably too much money. I could not leave the store without it. Although I am happy with my other two Henry rifles I am glad that they listened to what their customers wanted and made these rifles. When they give the big boy the same treatment I will buy a 45 colt or 357.

Congrats on the new side gate as long as you are happy isnt that all that matters. Bought one myself and probably could have gotten it a little cheaper but Im ok with it.

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.......

My side loader in 30-30 just came and I picked it up today. It is the most beautiful rifle I have. I only saw it for the first time a week ago and it was love at first sight. I knew I had to have one immediately. I ordered mine online for 750.00 and it was here in 6 days. I can't wait to shoot it. Now if they just would make one with an octogen barrell !

Interesting. You see a large number of us have been after Henry for some time to offer a brass receiver with a round barrel. For many of us that was more important than the side gate. My 38-55 was one of the first released. Had it come with an octagon barrel I wouldn't have bought it for the side gate feature.

Just wondering what the appeal is for the 'large number' who want a round barrel on a brass frame as opposed to octagon.
