Henry Rifle Forums

I just saw this mentioned on another site.
https://rossiusa.com/rifles/lever-actio ... -444marlin

Now, I may just have to try one of these out.

That's got to be a thumper. I'll bet deer fall over before you squeeze the trigger.

Paul, I have two Marlins in this caliber,
Yes, it's a hammer.
I like this as it has a 1:12 twist which should be a fine cast bollit candidate.

I have 2 Marlin 444P's with 1 in 20 twist Ballard rifling........It loves 300 gr JSPs and my 310 gr. cast bullets.

REALLY GLAD.......ROSSI is offering a rifle in 444 Marlin.

I hope its put together better than the last Rossi I looked at

I've handled a couple of their 30-30 rifles and they "seemed" to be well built.
There's a member here jstanfield that has one of the 45-70's and he likes his quite well.
A few members over on MO that have purchased both 30-30 and 45-70's that are quite satisfied.
I have a pair of the older Puma Rossi M92's that shoot well and have had no issues with.
Marlin (may) eventually reintroduce the 444, but if like their new 30-30 and 45-70's will run near double what I suspect these will sell for.
In fact in just looking on GB there are a couple listed and one has a buy it now price of $889.

As a long time fan of the 444, that is great news. Hope it brings back the 444 in popularity. it really should be more popular.

I'm still debating about buying that Ruger Marlin 1894 in 357, though. Just so hard to beat a 357 lever gun for fun.

I love my Henry 357 Carbine, with the octagon barrel, solid weight, there is hardly any recoil. Miss T loves to shoot it as well.

Always wondered why Henry never produced a 444, they brought back two other much older calibers. Why not the mighty 444?
