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.

Hello. I have a couple of them. They are great rifles and shoot well. If ammo cost isnt a big thing for you then get the 44 magnum one. But if it is then stick to 357 magnum. And take off the buckhorns and slap on some peep sights. Mine are also leather wrapped to look nicer hehe. And if you can use almostprohibited.ca or some other website that aggregates prices to find a good price for one.
