Henry Rifle Forums

My collection consists of a Golden Boy 22LR, a Big Boy Steel Carbine 357 magnum, a Big Boy Brass 357 magnum and a pink t-shirt. For you, Mags.

Just the best! So far, I don't own any in the same caliber. How do you use the two 357s differently, if at all?

Bold use of a pink garment, too!

ESquared, all of my Henry’s are for plinking and casual target shooting. I have taken a squirrel with the 22LR, though. I love my 357 Brass but I thought the shorter, lighter Steel Carbine would be nice, too. The flat black finish eliminates the glare I get with the Brass model in bright sunlight. Also, the rubber buttpad sticks to my shoulder better than the brass plate. I chose 357 for both simply because it’s cheaper to shoot than the other cartridges available.

Those are all fantastic reasons for having the two. If I were to ever own two of the same caliber, it would be the 357 as well!

Someday I may actually take one whitetail hunting.

Take the carbine. The brass scares the deer away.

Thanks for getting into the spirit of it.

My Henry collection right now are Henry's .22 Golden Boy lr.& .22 Magnum

357 is a fine deer caliber out around the 100 yd line.
Have done it myself

That steel 357 is an excellent deer gun. I used mine for the first time on deer a couple weeks ago. It did the job. I used American Eagle 158 grn sjsp for a good effect. The deer ran about 75 yards and dropped. Not my best shot, but certainly adequate.

I don't have a collection yet. But I have been considering a single shot. Not sure on caliber yet. Leaning toward the 243, but the 308 is attractive also.

Glad to see your little Henry family. It really is an addictive thing.

So far my Henry 'collection' consists of the H012MAW in 357/38, a H001T Octagon barrel in 22 and the H001L Carbine in 22. I love them all, a lot. But the All Weather just has something about it to where it's always in the forefront of all the other options I have to shoot. I'll likely install the large loop on it like I did with the 'T'. To me, it just looks like it belongs their. I do wish Henry would make a Carbine All Weather in 357 as well. I certainly don't 'need' it but it would be another fine companion for the current All Weather as well as the Ruger GP100.

I've not posted any pictures yet, but when I do, I'll be sure to include a pink towel. I'm certain there's one, or used to be one, somewhere in the towel closet.

Nice collection.

My only Henry is a .22lr Small Game rifle but I want to buy a .357/.38 Henry in the future.

My Henry collection, so far, is as follows,

1- Hoo1 .22lr
1- Hoo1T .22wmr
2-.Big Boy steel .327fed/mag
1- Big Boy brass .357 carbine

and soon, I hope, the Henry American Eagle .22lr.
I'm sure it will continue to grow...

There like Lays Potato Chips you cant just have one.

And medium sized black bear with the right load within that range! Not to mention shot placement, on anything!
