I've got the ammo for both calibers, just curious if anyone has/had one and if it would be worth the investment. I love the look just curious I guess. TIA

I just got one of the brass lever action 30-30's off gunbroker. Can't wait to see how it feels, should be here before the end of the week.

I've got the Golden Boy .22. I'm not going to use it hunting just shooting,teaching my kids the fun and responsibility of owning and using them properly. My 6 yr old daughter LOVES the look of it after the GB .22.

I think the Henry Big Boy is one of the most beautiful American rifles I have ever seen. I plan on snagging one in 44 mag.

Get it!!!

I have the Golden Boy .22 also, and just love it. First gun I've owned - had to have a cowboy rifle, and it was an easy choice to make.

Love mine. Plan on getting more. I think everyone's first gun should be a Henry.

I saw a .460 in a lever but I think it was a Marlin but not sure. I am still considering a .460 revolver. If I get it I want the lever action too.

I'm pretty sure they make one in 45-70. It's a heavy hitter.

They do. And you load it just like a regular tube fed .22

I picked up a big boy a few years ago. They're very heavy but butter smooth. Definitely have a want.

I'd buy a henry .30-30 before a marlin these days.
