I just read an email from Henry. They have a new series called the x series. The guns have plastic furniture, a mat blued finish, and a rail on the bottom of the fore end. This doesn’t interest me, but what did is the fact that they all have side loading gates. They have the big boy x series, in all the normal pistol calibers, all with the side loading gate. Gotta figure that when they clean up their inventory of standard big boy rifles, that they will start making these with side loading gates. Do you think?

I think it is quite interesting. It sure should appeal to the Tactical Crowd, but it probably will offend the purists. I am glad to see more interesting and varied products come to the market. A 357, with a 9mm suppressor does seem interesting. My druthers would be a 357 or 44, with polished metal, 16" barrel, and wood furniture. But those are awful close, and depending on street prices, I could be buyer.

I agree about the side loading gate. I’ve a .22 and a .327 from Henry and really like them both. When I carry my 94 in the woods it has one empty space in the tube and small game loads on the butt cuff so I can quickly load one into the tube and jack it into the chamber. Can’t do that with a regular Henry. Sure is nice to be able to take a grouse with a reduced small game load rather than trying to head shoot them with 150-170s.

The magazine cutoff he put on his auto shotgun comes in handy over the years. David Bradshaw |

I’m almost assuredly in the minority but always thought a magazine cutoff on a bolt gun was a great idea. As it is, the system I employ with a lever gun equipped with a side loading gate works well. A 100 grain Speer Plinker over 5 or 5.5 grains (can’t remember) of W231 makes a quiet shooting .30-30 load that easily shoots minute of grouse at 20 yards. I’ve now got a little 115 grain cast mold I need to heat up and see how it shoots with the same load. |
