Looking for a gun to keep in my truck on the farm. Been eyeing the Henry big boy’s In 44mag. Does anyone have any experience with them?

My son has a 22 Henry lever. It started developing some surface rust. I called Henry and they said send it back. They swapped the lever and sent it back . No charge. They stand behind their products.

That thing will rust quick if you don't keep it oiled down.

Got the carbine with large loop in 357 mag several weeks back. Still haven't shot it, but man it sure looks sweet. Gonna deer hunt with it.

I've got it in brass but, honestly, either the old New Haven JM stamped Marlins are better or the new Ruger Marlins. Stay away from the Remlins imho.
As for it being a "truck gun" ... there are better options.
For years I had (still have) an 1894P (ported) in 44 mag on ky back window rack of my F150 when cruising the back 40.
These days I keep a P320 on the seat of the farm truck for yotes and pigs. A lot quicker and handier ... but I do keep an AR on the rack in 300 blk with super sonics. Lehigh defence max expansion loaded to about 2200 fps.
Leverguns are fun. I own a lot of them in a lot of variations (am famous for them among Marlin men) but, they are not the superior truck guns these days.
I'll try to post some pics of my JM Marlins when I'm sober.

I’m in love with the look of the new Marlin 1894. That’s the one I want. But the Henry I’m sure is fine too.

Just bought my son the .22 Golden Boy and it is absolutely beautiful. No I want one. I have nothing to add other than that. Haven't even shot it yet
