You could say I like leverguns…the only thing I might like more is N frame Smiths lol.
Ive never had or held a Henry…yet.
I have or have had,
-Marlins in 32/20, 357, 44 & 45/70( guide gun and cowboy)
-Winchesters in 22mag and 30-30(‘94carbine & ‘94 Saddle Ring Trapper 16”)
-Rossi in 44, 44/40(1 Stainless & 1 Case colored) and 45 colt (2 round 20” & 1 octagon 20”)
- Uberti 1873 in 44/40(2 saddle ring carbine) & 45 colt (2 saddle ring carbine & 1 24” octagon).
- Uberti1866 yellowboy in 38spl(x2) & 44/40.
Each one has been great, never any issues with any of them, but each are different.
If money was no object, and it was for play (target, plinking or games like CAS) and mostly 38spl with a few 357s thrown in, I’d go with a Uberti/Taylor’s/Cimarron 1873 Short Rifle.
If it’s for target & hunting with 50% or more full snort 357 loads I’d get a Marlin.
If you’re on a normal persons budget I’d get a Stainless Rossi ‘92 in 16 or 20” and call it good.
