Buy recommendations Henry Big Boy

Been looking to buy myself a lever action rifle finally. I see FOC has this henry big boy on sale for what seems like a decent price.

Anyone have experience shooting these? Or have any recommendations on what I should buy? Looking to spend no more than $1500.

Preferably id get something i can shoot with a .44 special or .38 special round but this price for the .45 colt seems like a good buy.

I always push folks to the 357/38Spl just for cost efficiency of the ammo. I had a Big Boy for a few months, really solid rifle. My personal preference is more towards a 1892 or 1873 Winchester, but you lose out on a lot of the aftermarket parts.
