Heads up to any new owners of this weapon. Take care when you pull the lever out and remove the bolt. The extractor is pinned from the inside out to the left side of the receiver. It will rattle and fall out just be ready to catch it when it drops. It's not so hard to put back in. If you look at the left side of the receiver when the action is closed you can see where the pin is located. Also if your new to side gates there is a trick to loading it and not getting your thumb pinched. Push the round in to the rim then push another in to load and repeat. When you get good at this you can reload the magazine very quickly. Thanks Jay for letting me ramble. Great Post.

Enjoyed the shooting video. Somehow I landed on the 44mag round and after much success hunting deer- have no reason to switch. Own both the Henry Big Boy Steel and Big Boy Classic in 44mag. Next on the list would probably the single shot. I liked seeing the Winchester being shot too; but my eyes prefer a gun I can put a scope on.

Got a big boy classic .357 and was lucky enough to snag a model x .44mag last week for below retail. Shot it yesterday for the first time and man, I haven’t had that much fun shooting in a very long time. Simply blown away. Saw a Marlin 44.mag from the 70s today and was about to give him an offer on it until I picked it up and compared it to the Henry. I love everything about older guns?but the henry is hard to beat. If only Henry would restock their parts inventory to convert it to wood furniture…

LOL, this is exactly how I ended up with a Henry X in 44 Magnum. I went into the LGS I frequent most, but is still 30 mins away. So I only tend to go into it, when 'in the area'. Plus, it was the height of cough cough, shortages of guns. So, I didn't have high expectations. Mind you, when it comes to my pistol caliber rifles, I ALWAYS have a handgun to pair with it, or I get one to go with it. Had zero anything in 44 Mag. HOWEVER, I had been wanting and looking for a 44 Mag, or 454 Casull revolver as a woods backup gun, for awhile. But, again, cough cough times. So, in the store, I see the Henry used for, specially considering the time and shortages, a great price. And, to make matters better, they also had a Smith and Wesson Model 69 Combat Magnum in 44 mag, with my desired 4" barrel. It had been one of my options. I also knew, if I came back the next day, one or both could easily be gone. Heck, I found out later, that someone had went home to get their credit card, to come back for the Henry. He showed up, as I was filling out the 4473s. Happy, NOW, because I really like this Henry X. Favorite of my 4 Lever action rifles, that include an older mossberg, older marlin, and 2 other Henrys .

Your first target is what mine look like as well, but mine look that way because I like to point and use the whole target. Any good shooter can hit the center. It takes a great markman to transfer site picture with a lever action rifle and hit many points aimed at the target. Just saying. The sites on this rifle make that super easy. I did put an aftermarket red dot w/laser on mine. Just could not resist and I did put the flashlight light on the provided pic rail. This is an awesome rifle and if you can find one buy it right away don't pass it buy!

I liked the .44 mag so much I bought the .357 and .45-70 as well. 44 has more power for hunting, but 357 is cheaper to shoot. I'd probably go with whichever you plan to do more, Hunt or shoot for fun.

@@victoryeneydad9199I think 44mag is better, because its much cheaper to find ammo & compenets. Just in primers, you hand load with large pistol primers vs the non existent large rifle primers for over 3 years now. If primers weren't so hard to find I would consider them equal but a gun is dead weight without ammo. 44mag is just strong enough todo everything you want. That bring said a henry in 460 magnum would be sweet
