Hello from Vancouver, BC Canada

Post by Leftofcenter67 » Wed Mar 14, 2018 10:21 pm

Got a Henry Big Boy Steel Carbine.
- .357 Magnum.
Love it, cycles smooth as silk. No jams, the 1st 100 rounds there was some ejection struggles but that cleared up no problem.
(Possibly the User just getting used to it).

Love it. I still would like a Marlin/or Winchester for comparison.
But overall no complaints, and it sights well, and the rubber pad on the stock pretty much eliminates any recoil.

That's a great caliber, and Henry's carbine design makes for a sharp-looking rifle.
Best of shooting times with it.....enjoy!

I own the same rifle, and could not be happier. Welcome to the forum from Colorado.

Thanks folks. The buckhorn sights make it really easy to target. I love .357, and it seems to have no problem with 150 grain .38 specials either.
Looks great, shoots great!
