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.

Really like the Henry Protector 38/357. Handy for keeping with you while doing chores around the property. Pretty enough but not so fancy that I'd cry if it got scratched. Really like the oval loop size. I really like the side gate and tube load capability. 38/357 is really versatile...especially if you reload...from light loads to decent thumpers.
Really...same for other models and others in 44 spl/mag. Next one that I'll get will be trad length, straight grip, standard loop. Probably in 44...
Nothing wrong eith 45LC...I'm just not into that round.
