Has anyone shot/tried/own the Henry Big Boy Steel 44mag/357mag/45colt?

Hi Everyone,

I like that it has a bit of weight to it, I want a 44mag that isn't too light to soak up some of the recoil. The 1894 I had was a bit light for me. Has anyone seen these around or shot one?

Thanks,

Alan

I've shot the .45 colt model. Buddy just bought one so we took it to our range. The only ammo he could find was the cowboy lead ammo that's really mild, so it shot real nice and soft.
I got a 4" group at 100 yds with buckhorn open sights. With the barrel broken in and a solid rest, it could be better. Everything cycled through it.
