Just wondered if anyone had actually seen one of these in captivity at a store anywhere.
Not talking about review samples for gunwriters, although I'm always glad to read about those.

when I first saw a picture of their All-Weather rifle I thought the stock was synthetic .... I was surprised to learn that it is stained hardwood .... its weight is listed as the same as the standard H010 45-70

Welcome from the Show-Me-State!
Not seen the all-weather .45-70 on display yet...might look tomorrow on my trek to cabelas. This store has really been building up their Henry rifles. As JEBar mentioned, I'd like to see that stained hardwood stock, too.
But not to worry. It will show up, "come rain or shine!!"

I like the looks of them. I have only seen the all-weather 30-30. Heck everyone needs two 45-70 Henry rifles right? Maybe I should pick one up soon.

My Cabels's didn't have one today and didn't think they had yet gotten one in.

I haven't seen one yet either. With the expansion of Henry models, I have noticed that most stores seem to be sticking the main "established" rifles, but I see very few, if any, of the newer ones.

I've only seen photos. Sure has a unique look.

That is common unless people are asking for it.

I have to be honest here; I'm really kinda jonesing for one of these!
But a less-than-great experience with a Henry 30-30 a couple of years ago has me a bit spooked, and I'd really like to see and hold one before ordering blind. Plus I'm not sure that being among the first to step up is a good idea or not.
