Henry 45-70 Government

[TTA976]

Purchased my first lever action rifle. Always wanted one so I said now the time. Henry 45-70, wood is handsome with steel receiver and a nice brass tube loaded port. Picked up 325 grain Hornady slugs. Rifle packs a punch!
Really happy with it and the recoil is noticeably less than my tactical 12 guage.

That's a beauty! I love my lever action. It's my favorite gun to shoot.

I agree thus far. Always enjoyed the history of the 45-70 cartridge. Very versatile too. Henry did a great job with this gun.

I've got 2 lever guns. A Marlin 45-70 and a Rossi 357 carbine. I load my own and the 45 is just about the same as a 458 winchester. The Rossi eats 38 special and feel like a 22, but the 357 rounds I load pack a serious punch. Both are a lot of fun to shoot and I have no issues with using either for hunting or general shooting.

Ik it Charlie... I was gonna get the 357 so the wife could shoot it too. Always wanted a 45-70. That's next on my list. TY

Love the Henry...beautiful gun. Very well made. They are classic.

I love lever action rifles also.....have a real nice 1949 Winchester Model 94 that shoots straighter than an arrow.

Perfect for scaring away IRS tax collectors. (and my ex-wife)
