Default Henry 45-70
Always wanted a leaver action and this thing looks like all kinds of fun. Anyone have any experience with one?

18" barrel is pretty short. She'll buck and kick and holler loud.

I have been very happy with it. Paid less than 400 for it at academy. Cleanest factory gun I have ever torn down.

I do not see that Rossi makes a lever gun in .45-70

As for the Henry? There must be a bunch of unused space in that mag tube if it only holds 4 rounds. My Marlin Guide gun holds 4 and the mag tube is just over half length

After shooting Robos Marlin I was lucky enough to have my wife buy me one.. Fantastic gun!!! Not familiar with the Henry but I have a marlin model 94 and Chaparral arms 1873 both in 38/357 and love them both.
