Well I use my Henry BBS 44 for the hot stuff and my newest Uberti/ Winchester 1873 for the milder .44 Mag loads. My Henry doesn't care for the plinking loads...you have to run the bullet fast so it doesn't have time to notice the bore is just a bit bigger than the bullet.

Nice choice! I was just shooting that model last week; one which my friend owns. Lots of fun.
That got me looking to buy one with the color case hardened receiver in .44 Rem Mag, but they are so hard to find.
If any knows of one at an LGS, I'd sure appreciate a PM. Thanks.

I agree,
You will Love it. I have the BB Classic in 357/38 absolutely Love everything about that rifle after getting it the way it's comfortable and sized for me.

LGS has a BBS 357 for $929 today. I have not seen much of any Henrys there lately. And NO I did not bring it home, I have one.
