Henry prices

[Metonto]

I saw a new Henry BBS 30-30 in a LGS for $694. No sidegate. I have only seen two other Henry BBS on dealers shelves in 6 months, they were sidegate 44mag and priced at $1000. Is the sidegate worth that much? Is it the caliber?

I could load 30-30 rounds thru the tube all day to save $300. That seems like a pretty good price nowadays. You looking to get it?

[Metonto]

I was tempted by the price, but a 30/30 is kinda useless here in Ohio

[Rifletom]

Ohhh, I get your meaning. Dang!

Was the sidegate in the same store as the 30-30

[Metonto]

No, that could make a difference.

When Henry replaced My BBS 357 they said they replaced it with a side gate because the tube only has been discontinued. I am not sure if they have done that for the 30-30 but it may have been sitting in a warehouse for a while. Every Henry I have seen around here in centerfire has been close to $1000 and some a bit north of that.

I paid a little bit more than that for my H009 30-30 in 2017, and it was a new 2015 model. It was a little high. But, it had a nice finish. So, I took it home. If you are in the market, seems like a good price to me. As for cost difference, I think BigAl hit the nail on the head.

It’s been hit or miss, today there were 5 or 6 different Henry’s at the range/store but there’s been none for months. My suggestion is to wait until you see exactly what you want but do not procrastinate because they don’t stay on shelves long. I have a side gate 30-30 but don’t use it as not to scratch it up. The tube works just fine.

Wish I was closer to Ohio, my next firearm purchase will hopefully by a Henry 30-30. That would fit the bill perfectly.
