Big Boy Steel in .45 Colt

[Chucksolo1]

I just ordered a Henry Big Boy Steel in .45 Colt. I have been checking around and have previously gotten 3 quotes from local gun shops. None in my area stock them. Two stock only the Brass models which I don't want. Any way, I got quotes of..........ready for this......$999.00, $850.00 and $799.99. Today, my local range quoted me a price of......$719.00 it will come to $804.00 with tax and DROS fee. Needless to say I ordered it immediately. Now my SAA in .45 Colt will have a companion!

outstanding .... did you get an estimated delivery date .. .. sure looking forward to your coming range reports and comments

I was told that it would be 5-6 days for shipping time to the range and then our FUBAR 10 day waiting period here in California. I'm used to waiting having lived in CA all my life. Back in the 70's it was a 15 day waiting period.

I think you're going to love 45 colt in a rifle. I ran across a great deal on a 20 inch Rossi, and I couldn't resist. It's too much fun. I've got a round ball load that sounds like a pellet rifle, and a 350 gr cast bullet load that smacks like a freight train. My plinking load is a 250 gr cast bullet at a little over 1000 fps with very little recoil.

Thanks guys, my local range is outstanding. I have been going there for 20 years and have ordered handguns from them but this is my first rifle from them. Prices at the range are very good. We pay $14.00 for the first shooter and 8 for the second shooter. Plu that is for shooting all day from 10 am to 10 pm. you can even leave, go grab lunch and go back and shoot some more for no other cost!! Unbelievable!! If you're ever in my neck of the woods, Oceanside, CA (home to Camp Pendleton USMC base) check out the Iron Sights indoor range. The folks that run it are fantastic!!

Congrats on that .45 Henry! Is that the Carbine model?
Amazed that California would allow such a great shooting range from all the things I hear and read!
