I finally got to put my hands on my Henry 327 today. I am beyond pleased with the quality.
Wood finish, fit and checkering is simply outstanding.
Action is slick, but solid. Gun is about the same weight as my Marlin 1894.
Mine gets a Vortex 2-7x Dead Hold Reticle Scope mounted in Warne rings as a coming home present. Range report to follow.

I have the Henry (Weaver Style) base. Same as I used on my Henry 41 Magnum and 45 Colt.

Small change of plans. The Nikon 2-7x scope is so slim and petit, it just begged to be put on the Henry.
So, its now atop the fine little rifle. Would shoot it, but thunderstorm is near.

Not sure which way I'm going on loads for this rifle.
296/H110 is a natural for the 327. Lil Gun has been magical in long barrels for me too.
But, Longshot has my attention right now. Loads are within 100 fps of the magnum powder. But, requires half the powder.
Can't help but think that would be easy on the ears in a small game rifle.

Geeezze Louise,
I emailed Bud's to see when they are going to stock and offer the Henry Big Boy 327 ?
The prompt reply stated No planned ETA but keep checking and then he pointed out they update the inventory every 20 minutes.
By Golly , I guess I have something to do now.

WOOO HOOO!!! My LGS came through and I have a 20 inch .327 Henry Big Boy rifle in my hands!!! Fit and finish are exceptional, and truly the best of any new firearm I have purchased in quite some time.
More to follow including photos, and a photo of the only odd characteristic I've seen so far on this rifle: a loading cutout large enough in both length and width to accommodate a .44 Mag cartridge (or so it would seem as I'm certainly not going to get one stuck in that tube)! Hopefully I'll get some rounds down-range this weekend.
-John
