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 like levers and 99% of my shooting them is at the range so I bought a Big Boy in .357/38spl. Ammo is affordable and accessible. Mine has functioned flawlessly. 158gr .357 gives a satisfying kick and the 38SPL is pure fun. I put a Skinner Express peep sight on mine. Love it.
