If anyone has seen the latest Hickok45 "Shootin' the Breeze". He mentions they have a Henry Big Boy .357 to test! :D

Seems he just had his gall bladder removed as well and is on the mend.

Always happy to see a Big Boy, especially a .357!

Thanks for the heads up, Squatch. I'll be waiting for it, too.

Ditto on CT_Shooter.....thanks, Squatch.

There will be a lot of "ooohs" and "aaahs" by Hickok in that video, for sure!!

He likes levers. But remember he has one of the "One of 1,000" engraved Henry originals. That's hard to top.

He's reviewed a couple of Henry's over the years. I'm curious if the no loading gate comes up. I know his son John doesn't like tube fed rifles without one. He said so in a 22 video the other day. Maybe that was a precursor. He probably been shooting the Big Boy. For some folks it's a deal breaker. For me it's a non issue.

I'm looking forward to seeing it to. I don't watch them all. Does his son have his own channel, or does he shoot with his dad in the same videos? I don't think I've ever seen him.

Not to hijack the thread, but I find loading gates to be a pain for the volume of loading we do at the range with our Henry BB. I have limited experiences with loading gates, but I found them to be rather slow and awkward. While I can see that loading a few rounds in the field is undoubtedly easier with a gate, I would think if I run through the 10 loaded into my BB, and need more in a hurry, I am probably having either an extraordinarily good day hunting, or most likely, an extraordinarily bad day hunting.

Dave he is usually behind the camera. But John does the occasional review and is on some of the side stuff and has his own channel called Hickok45 and son. This is John.

Thanks. I don't think I've seen him before. I liked that 572 he was shooting.
