Henry SPD Hush in 45-70

[u/LumberjackCDN]

​

So we recieved a pair of these a little while back, one in 3030 and one in 45-70 and when they were anounced at Shot this year I was super interested in the 30-30 but a little skeptical of a carbon barrelled 45-70 for recoil related reasons. But i was pleasantly surprised at how well weighted the rifle was. Not only was the action as smooth as you'd expect from a Henry, but it was also incredibly well balanced and had a nice bit of weight to it too. I dont think they'll unseat the Marlin Dark Series as king of the out of the box tacticool lever, but the carbon wrapped barrel and tactical foregrip certainly pair nicer than I thought they would.

If i had $3000 to spend on a rifle... this would be it

Lets just say they were less than 3k in our shop.

[u/CurlyWurly61 → u/LumberjackCDN]

I assume they were around $2500. I'm just weird and like to add tax on the spot haha

[u/LumberjackCDN → u/CurlyWurly61]

Ah in alberta its only 5%. We were running them 2700 but then 10% off so pretty close with the guess.

[u/CurlyWurly61 → u/LumberjackCDN]

13% in ontario 🫩

I know HST is the worst.

Over a Garand?

[u/DryF1re → u/CwazyCanuck]

am i the only person on this sub who thinks garands and sks's are massively overvalued?

like sure, they are fine guns and have a place in history.

But i would take a browning BAR over a garand.

[u/LumberjackCDN → u/DryF1re]

Im with ya.

[u/DryF1re → u/[deleted]]

lol good luck getting WW2 BAR.

I mean the modern semi-autos

[u/DryF1re → u/[deleted]]

I am aware of the nature of the modern BARs.

[u/DryF1re → u/[deleted]]

what? lmao

you are the reason an IQ test should be added to gun licensing.

It's a shame we can't suppress it. Pretty sure it was designed to host one

[u/Acceptable_Visit_115 → u/Lumindan]

HUSH stands for Henry's Ultimate Suppressor Host, according to their sales literature.

[u/DryF1re]

why not a full picture of the gun?

[u/LumberjackCDN → u/DryF1re]

Its basically a stock photo since its a brand new item. Figure id fill the gaps.so to speak.

[u/Acceptable_Visit_115]

There's also the new SPD CRUSR, basically the same thing but in tan and only available in 45-70. I think it's neat that they are satisfying both the carbon black and FDE tactical lever crowds.

i have nothing negative to say

[u/Juice1984]

Are pictures expensive now? Couldn't post a whole rifle pic?

[u/LumberjackCDN → u/Juice1984]

As a retailer im used to trying to avoid facebook jail.

[u/ExpandDong- → u/[deleted]]

I will take whatever you are smoking if you really believe that brands like Citadel, Rossi, Chiappa are better than Henry but i won't try and convince you, i just want that good dope brother man

[u/LumberjackCDN → u/ExpandDong-]

No kidding lol.

He also doesn't understand how someone could want a modern mag fed autoloader that can take 20 round FNAR mags over a Garand. See his above comments.
