Henry Rifle Forums

I was in Wal-Mart yesterday & stopped by the sporting goods. They had a Henry yellow receiver large loop .45-70. The fit & finish was very good really good. The wood was kind of plain, but very straight grained so it'd be strong. I was really impressed with the quality of the rifle. They had a lock on it so I couldn't work the action & wasn't going to buy it anyway so didn't ask him the take the lock off. I have been thinking lately about selling a couple of somethings to get a Henry .45-70. I've looked at several Henry .45-70s in this past year & am always very pleased with the quality of the rifles.

Buy the brass 45-70. You won't be sorry.
I love mine.

ours has quickly become one of my favorites .... I like its looks and as has been noted, it is accurate, well made, and dependable

I have the Color case hardend 45-70 and I love it. But the brass one is also very nice. Al

I have the steel version .45-70 with the round barrel. It was an earlier model and had to have the mag tube upgrade. Not as pretty as the ones you all have but it is a pound lighter and I am very happy with it. They are great rifles!

Thumbs up for my steel 45-70, non-ghost sights version.

I find it easier and lighter to carry it around during hunting season.

C'mon guys, don't get me thinking about a 45-70 too.

Resistance is Futile .... You will be assimilated

You have that right, 45/70 is my next rifle. I have powder, brass,boolit molds, dies, loaded rounds, but no rifle.

The .45-70 rules!!!!!!!!!!

You "need" one bad.

I just bought the Brass version my self. If the steel would have been there I would have purchased that instead of the Brass. But I like the Brass very much.

I just like holding my Henry .45-70. I'd sleep with it but that might get us both thrown out in the cold! If you're looking to be delivered from temptation, you are in the wrong place! Get one! You'll not regret your decision! Cheers!

I feel safe with a Henry 45-70 in my hands.

Just think RR you could buy 2 Henrys for the price of the Original and get a 45-70. I guarantee ya that CCH version in person is really nice and the pictures of it doesn't even come close to doing them justice. There is something about that 22 inch barrel and pistol grip stock to me that is great. You need one

2 45-70s and a 458 socom later and I still have the itch for another one
The Henry is well made and accurate
You will not be unhappy

The ones I've seen are very nice. I really like the way they are put together!

The .45-70 is such a great round. There is something so beautiful about the brass version.

2 45-70s and the itch s still not scratched
Looks like a brass wildlife or a limited 3rd edition is in the works to come home with me

3 deer were dropped this year with a NOE 460 350 HP
None took 1 step after being hit
