I have the Henry in 38/357 - they are beautifully built. Lots of folks put red dots or scopes on their rifle. But, you shot very well with the semi-buckhorn. Your gun looks very sharp with the large loop lever change. Good luck with it!
Awesome tool! I love mine. But I'm not a fan of scopes on lever action rifles. I'm more cowboy purest. Besides, your a great shot!!!! Good video as always 👍
Thank you sir. Very true, the look is classic without a scope. I could actually tighten the groups up if I took my time off of video. It sure is nice havin them zooms though.
I HAVE A WINCHESTER 1894 .44 MAG WITH THE LARGE LOOP LEVER FOR 35 YEARS NOW & I LOVE IT. EXCELLENT BRUSH GUN FOR HUNTING. THE HENRY LOOKS REALLY GOOD TOO.
I missed an opportunity to pick up a case hardened 1894 Trapper takedown model in .357 a few months ago. By the time I talked myself into getting it, it was sold.😣
@@ToolsandTargetsHave any feeding issues with that Henry? My all weather 44 big boy came with plastic orange tube mag follower that kept hanging in the tube, sent back to Henry 3 days after I picked it up. Got it back a couple weeks later with metal tube follower, if yours is plastic switch it out. This was a known issue.
Love my Henry 44 magnum. I would love to see you do gelatin testing especially with the critical defense/ duty round and Hornady 240 XTP. For shooting at 100 yards or so especially if hunting I'd go with a 3-9 power for really good accuracy.
Right when the pandemic started I picked up a color case hardened 44 mag 20-in octagon Henry.. I love that thing it would be cool to see ballistic jelly with the 44 mag rifle. Since it's way faster than a handgun..
I passed up a really good deal on a Henry 44mag carbine just before all the pandemic crap started. I've been kicking myself in the rear ever since 😭!!! U know, I've passed on way too many good deals over the years now that I think about it... 🤔
I love the Henry Lever guns!! They are beautiful, accurate and smooth as silk! That is a nice tool for your box of toys! Would like to have the .44 Magnum in that style! Great video!
Yeah I have a Marlin 1894 in .44 that I love. I got it because it had the side gate. Now Henry has them. I LOVE lever action rifles. I do have a Henry youth .22 but it's a tube load as you'd expect.
I picked up a Henry 44 mag X model (tacticool model 🤣) Took about 2 years to find it. So much fun ! I wanted a side loading gate and fiber optic sights. The rifle length barrel turns the 44 mag into a whole different animal. Awesome video.
Based on my understanding they only have a few models in 357/38 with the Octagon barrel. Case Hardened with side load gate - Most expensive option Brass or Silver Receiver - No side gate I have the Big Boy with brass receiver and octagon barrel. Yeah, no side gate, but I'm still very happy with the firearm. These things are super accurate out of the box. Plus, just the fact you can run 357 and 38 out of it makes it that much better.
Good stuff! ... I just did my first 38 special reloads yesterday for the 357/38 Big Boy. Just using the Lee Reloader Kit, a cheap but decent digital scale, and Accurate #2 ... 125 grain Berry's bullets, loads of 4.1, 4.3, 4.5, and 4.75 grains.
Nice. Just picked up the 45 colt version. It came with the large loop and it's also the 20in barrel. Beautiful rifle just beautiful.... want to get the carbine version also. enjoy yours there're hard to find.
I just recently bought this same model and was very pleased how it shot right out of the box! Only draw back is, 44 magnum ammo is in short supply by me!
Cool Tools, that a nice one. I'd put a fixed 4 power on it. If not that then some kind of LPVO. I have a Rossi in 357 Mag and it is so fun to shoot, but I think the next lever gun that I want is a 45-70.
@@ToolsandTargets I tried to drop a link for the scope that I have on my rifle. It’s the 2-7 vortex crossfire II scope. It’s a great scope for this rifle and is a great price. Right now it’s 121 dollars at optics planet. Don’t let the price fool you it’s a great scope. It’s a short scope so you don’t have to remove the iron sights to mount the scope and 2-7 is plenty of zoom for the distance this rifle is intended to shoot.
A Primary Arms GLX 2x Prism would fit right on there and work great. Lifetime warranty, EXCELLENT customer service, unlike Vortex that when you call them about a claim all you get are crickets... Ask me how I know, and why I switched. You did good with the bigger lever in case you're wearing gloves and the sidegate. Nice new tool and great shot placements!
Don’t worry about not getting the octagon barrel, they’re really heavy. This would be a perfect rifle to take a deer with this fall. I predict some 44 mag gel testing coming on. Another great video sir.
I can imagine .44 Magnum out of a 20 inch barrel would certainly rock them targets lol. They are beautiful guns, I have a Henry .22 right out of the box it was flawless and dead on. I would like to get a Henry .357 but have not seen one locally yet. Have a good one brother and I will see you on the next one.
Pretty good shooting TOOLS 👍🏻 But you might need that scope. Hey you have to love 44 mag in a rifle might be more fun than a revolver, but I have taken deer with both ! Had a 3x9x50 On the rifle worked great for picking up targets fast. Thank you for the video and nice tool you got there 🎬
I recently got the color case hardened 357 mag carbine big boy with the side loading gate. I put a Leupold vx3-hd 2.5-8x36 on mine and I think it's just about perfect for it. I did not have to remove my rear sight, I just lowered it down as far as it would go and it has just enough clearance for that 36mm objective. I used that one piece Talley mount that Henry shows on their website for the big boys. I think a Leupold is the perfect match for the Henry for two reasons. First and foremost they're made in America just like your Henry. Second I think that classic gold Leupold ring matches up nicely with the brass magazine tube on the Henry. And of course Leupold is quality stuff. I enjoy shooting my Henry so much that I already have a second one on the way. It's their Magnum Express rifle in 22 mag. That one is getting the 3-9x40 leupold vx freedom rimfire scope. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine!🤠
Nice gun I want to get myself a level action myself been thinking 44mag or 357 for Versatility so I can either shoot 38 special or 44 special but the 45-70 seems interesting
Purty good shooting for a half blind country boy using semi- Buckhorn sights. Lol. Something special about working the action on a lever gun. You were thumping the steel pretty hard but if you can get it try some Underwood Hard Cast. Awesome stuff. Maybe a little bigger size coming that's good for reloaders? Good shooting.
@@ToolsandTargets Use to you could shoot 44 Special or 38 Special for a lot less than magnum. Now they are closer in price. Problem with a scope for it that depends on the use. You don't hunt which most people pick a 3x9 power. If you have a 2.5x7 or 1x6 to swap temporarily that should be fine up to 100 yards. Smaller power also gives wider field of view. One way to find out. 😃
@@ToolsandTargets Be careful on some Underwood on OAL because it may not cycle in a lever because it's too long. I think +P+ may not. About 1400 fps in certain pistols.
I might suggest adding a Williams 5D or FP receiver sight. The one's that mount to the side of the receiver, looks better than the ones that mount on top of the receiver. The added length of sight radius along with more precise alignment greatly increases accuracy without adding the bulk of a scope which decreases the handiness of a lever action.
really nice rifle tools....pretty good shooting with open sights....don't think i'd scope it...but i'm kinda old school when it comes to lever actions....henry makes a good gun...maybe one day
I’m impressed, that is just a beautiful lever action buddy. I just watched a review on a Marlin in 45-70 that shot sub moa groups which I didn’t even think was possible. I like the .357/.44mag in caliber myself so I’m on the fence. The Henry just felt like it was a little better in fit and finish. Ya done good Tools!
From what I could tell in the video , the action sounded pretty smooth . If you gel test the 44 mag you might be surprised at JSP performance out of the longer barrel. I'd go with a 1.5x5 over a dot for that gun, and a set of see through rings.
Now your talking, love my lever actions although mine are marlins and Winchesters but my 44 is a Marlin, been wanting a Henry in 327 Fed Mag but have not run across one, I like a 2x7 scope on mine and Leupold makes a nice one also Burris, my favorite is my lever in 357 mag its a Marlin but that caliber is a blast, with 38's there is no recoil and used to be cheap shooting but its still a blast at these higher prices
I have the 16" octagon barrel big boy 44. It's rugged where i hunt, and that big boy is perfect for deer and bear. I ran mine stock for a while, then I put a skinner sight on it, and it's a shooter now. Great little gun imo. It likes to shoot the xtp bullets 240gr.
@ToolsandTargets Mine shot great without it, but after I put it on, I wouldn't hesitate to make 150yd shot in my field. Great video sir, and a dandy rifle.
I really like it and the larger lever and 20" bbl. Like you the octagonal would be nice but I do like the one you have! Low but you pulled them up! Tools those are supposed to be good guns. I think it will be a keeper!
Congratulations on your new purchase, I get excited seeing someone get a new “toy”. Beautiful “toy”, great video. I hope there’ll be more to come👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have a Henry Long Ranger in 308. I use it for hunting and it has a 4-12x scope that came on it when I bought it from my grandpa, its about perfect for what I need it for.
I have the big boy but to get the 20" octagon barrel I had to get the brass receiver. Such a fun gun to shoot. I have a vortex 1-8 on it . Shoots great ( I know some people don't like glass on a lever action but I'm getting old and my eyes aren't as good as they once were). Love your videos. Especially the bullet reviews! You save me tons of money thank you for what you do
Thank you sir. One thing I wish Henry did was let you choose from all the options for any mix and match of their rifles. The way it is, I have to buy a dozen just to get at least one with all the options I want.😆
@@ToolsandTargets God it'd be great to have the side gate on mine. Mix and match would be awesome. I'd be willing to pay more for the options I actually wanted. Your steel Henry looks great. I wanted the steel one but they didn't have the octagon barrel lol
Awesome shooting at 100 yards. Love it. Recently picked up the Henry Big Boy X 44 mag. Oh boy there's a handful of fun. Would like to post a heads up . When removing the bolt from the receiver take care . The extractor is pinned to the left inside of the receiver and will fall out when the bolt is removed. If you look at the left side of the receiver will will see the level pin pushing through. Just wanted to give the heads up. It's not really that hard to back into place.
I have this gun with the small lever loop. I really like the larger loop. Looks like I'm going to order one from Henry. I like the look. I have no side gate, just the magazine tube. Nice gun. Thanks for the video.
A little lever gun love, nice! Enjoy shooting my Rossi 92 357. With 38’s in feels like shooting a 22. Those XTP’s would be an awesome deer load. I’d think about a LPVO 1x6 or 1x8, 3x9 at the most. Would be interesting to see jelly testing with various loads. Thanks for the video!
I have a Big Boy Carbine in .357 / .38 Sp Brass with the hexagonal barrel and love it to death. No scope, just iron sights. I have a scope on my 1976 Marlin 336C however in .30-30
As for the scope. I put the FireField Impulse 1x28mm Red Dot w/Red Laser-Circle dot. I know y'all are going to say that's not so great an Idea but I stand buy this optic. I have two others one is on my KS7 12 gauge and the other is on my Henry Brass Side Gate 45-70 Govt. The site picture is perfect for 100+/- yard shots and the laser is dead on. It's very easy to zero the laser once you have the optic set just adjust the laser to its point of strike. Firefield says that this optic is good to .50 cal. My Henry 45-70, Henry BB X 44 mag, and Kel Tec Bullpup chambering three inch rounds 12 gauge says true. Just saying what I know and like!
With 44's i prefer fixed 2x20mm or 1-4×20mm. It's non-long-range although capable but most likely a short distance thumper. A quick optic with longer eye relief for snap shots in woods hunting is practical and less cumbersome looking...
Just watched you with the Henry 45-70. Outside in a swing enjoying this video. Wife said she'd get me the H006 44, but they sold it locally and I'm not much on mail orders. Enjoying this video, lots of fun. They have the 357 mag version and i'm probably going to regret not getting it.
Very nice addition to your "Tool Box"! Henry manufacture's an awesome product for sure. I've got one on my "Wish List", thinking in .45-70 though, ( I have a T-Rex problem around my place 😉). Nice shootin', enjoy your new Henry!
That is a good choice! Wish they made that exact set-up with the round barrel but color case hardened receiver and in 357magnum. I would rather have 44 magnum but just getting a 357 its already a struggle for me to add a new caliber lol! Couple of small taps to the right on that front sight you will be dialed in good with the steel sights! That's awesome man! ❤Love love love it!! Happy Friday! ✌😎👍💥💥💥🎯
Yessir. I might just get it good and dialed in on the irons instead of a scope. I definitely like the look of levers with just the irons. I wanna pick one up in .357 too but they're nearly impossible to catch in stock.😣
@@ToolsandTargets It sure put a whallop on them 2 liter bottles and that watermelon just disappeared lol! Gonna have some fun with that beauty! :D .44 magnum, there is no substitute! 🤠💪
@@Nutty.357 That screw loosens the little diamond insert but it only lets you move it up or down in a little slot. I guess you could use that to change how deep the diamond sits in the notch for a different sight picture. You still have to tap it over for windage. They actually tell you to tap the rear sight for windage. They have added a set screw to the dovetail on the rear to lock it in after you tap it over which is good cause I always worry about it moving getting bumped ort something.
@@ToolsandTargets Those Henry's are fun to shoot. I seen a Long Ranger 6.5 Creedmoor at Wal-Mart last night. I came close to buying it, I just can't afford it. Spent all my money on a Beretta a few weeks ago, lol.
Beautiful rifle! I have a Henry X in 44 magnum. I'm not a huge fan of scopes on lever guns, but my eyes are giving out on my so I picked up a 2-7x40 scope on it. I used Warne QD mounts so I can take it off at any time. I really enjoy the fiber optic sights at closer ranges.
I'd forego the scope idea and install a Skinner peep sight instead. You're shooting pretty darn good with those semi-buckhorns. The peep will amaze you.
I've been wanting a lever action in 44mag for a long time. Have watched a few videos' on this Henry. No one seems to comment on the recoil or trigger pull? Had a Browning 92 years ago and it kicked like a mule so much I got rid of it. This one seem very similar to the older Marlin style actions.
Really nothing to say as far as recoil. It's very minimal with the rubber butt pad on it. Trigger pull is about like any other henry lever action. Nothing competition level amazing but nothing to complain about either.
Great review! There is definitely a noticeable felt recoil experience if you use the 44 magnum lever brass version which has the hard brass buttplate instead of a pad
@@ToolsandTargets By the way, love your channel, and it's nice to see a channel like yours that is entertaining and family friendly. Thanks for having no cursing in your videos. Even though I am not American (I'm from Canada), I love your patriotism and the video in which the chrony said 1776 and you played the anthem - that was hilarious. Blessings from the north, brother!
I was able to fine a 44 Magnum Henry to add to my Collection of Henry’s about a month ago just like yours….And been ammo hunting for it ever since, was able to find 200 rounds of 240 magtech a few weeks ago and today I found some 200 grain 44 special have not seen that anywhere. I would real like to find some 270 grain Federal Hammer Down to use for Deer season…. I have a 3+9 Bushnell Engage with a illuminated 3 mill dot radical I’m thinking of putting on it …. In my older days I like the illuminated radical scopes just makes thing easier in woods and low light situations . I have another Henry coming probably tomorrow that just became available…. Probably will add a 327 magnum Henry when I can find one …. Henry makes some really good Quality rifles with fit and finish and mechanically …. I have noticed that all most every one does hit a bit to right out of box with iron sights.
@@ToolsandTargets I don’t you can go wrong with a Henry…. Quality guns at a reasonable price where most companies are trying to go cheap with lower Quality and reliability just like Remington tried to do and we all know that didn’t work out very well 😄 but the New REM Arms are back to old Quality of Remington 👍. Hopefully Marlin / Ruger will get more models soon hearing the Quality is EXCELLENT 👍
I have the Henry in 38/357 - they are beautifully built. Lots of folks put red dots or scopes on their rifle. But, you shot very well with the semi-buckhorn. Your gun looks very sharp with the large loop lever change. Good luck with it!
Thank you sir. I want that .357 also. It's tough to find it in stock. I do like the looks of it with just iron sights.

You just might be right.😉
@@ToolsandTargets Use to you could shoot 44 Special or 38 Special for a lot less than magnum. Now they are closer in price. Problem with a scope for it that depends on the use. You don't hunt which most people pick a 3x9 power. If you have a 2.5x7 or 1x6 to swap temporarily that should be fine up to 100 yards. Smaller power also gives wider field of view. One way to find out. 😃
@@ToolsandTargets Be careful on some Underwood on OAL because it may not cycle in a lever because it's too long. I think +P+ may not. About 1400 fps in certain pistols.
Love my Henry!! Sold my 10-22 since I never shot it anymore
They are some sweet shooters. I need to do some more vids with the Golden Boy I picked up.
I might suggest adding a Williams 5D or FP receiver sight. The one's that mount to the side of the receiver, looks better than the ones that mount on top of the receiver. The added length of sight radius along with more precise alignment greatly increases accuracy without adding the bulk of a scope which decreases the handiness of a lever action.
Hmmm, I need to check that out.👍
That's an amazing tool. I've wanted one of these for a while. Definitely one day. Another great video brother!!
Thank you sir. I couldn't pass it up!
really nice rifle tools....pretty good shooting with open sights....don't think i'd scope it...but i'm kinda old school when it comes to lever actions....henry makes a good gun...maybe one day
Thank you sir. I definitely like the look of levers with just the irons.
@@ToolsandTargets me too...i've got 94s and a couple of marlins only have one scoped...like you said it takes from the looks IMHO
I’m impressed, that is just a beautiful lever action buddy. I just watched a review on a Marlin in 45-70 that shot sub moa groups which I didn’t even think was possible. I like the .357/.44mag in caliber myself so I’m on the fence. The Henry just felt like it was a little better in fit and finish. Ya done good Tools!
Thank you sir. I definitely gotta get some more now!
I have been thinking about getting a Henry myself. More on the line of the 357. Good shooting and video thanks.
Well worth the money. Extremely fun rifles.
Thank you sir. The .357 is super hard to find right now.😣
From what I could tell in the video , the action sounded pretty smooth .
If you gel test the 44 mag you might be surprised at JSP performance out of the longer barrel.
I'd go with a 1.5x5 over a dot for that gun, and a set of see through rings.
Good idea. 👍
Now your talking, love my lever actions although mine are marlins and Winchesters but my 44 is a Marlin, been wanting a Henry in 327 Fed Mag but have not run across one, I like a 2x7 scope on mine and Leupold makes a nice one also Burris, my favorite is my lever in 357 mag its a Marlin but that caliber is a blast, with 38's there is no recoil and used to be cheap shooting but its still a blast at these higher prices
I want a .357 too but you're right, they're almost impossible to find right now.😣
Excellent, great quality gun. Extremely practical. Good deer set up. Lotsa deer in our freezer with 44 magnum.
Nice! It's a nice one so far.
I have the 16" octagon barrel big boy 44. It's rugged where i hunt, and that big boy is perfect for deer and bear. I ran mine stock for a while, then I put a skinner sight on it, and it's a shooter now. Great little gun imo. It likes to shoot the xtp bullets 240gr.
I need to grab some of those sights to try out.
@ToolsandTargets Mine shot great without it, but after I put it on, I wouldn't hesitate to make 150yd shot in my field. Great video sir, and a dandy rifle.
I really like it and the larger lever and 20" bbl. Like you the octagonal would be nice but I do like the one you have! Low but you pulled them up! Tools those are supposed to be good guns. I think it will be a keeper!
Yessir. I think it's gonna be deadly with an optic on it.😎
Sweet looking tool and my fav cal .44 mag. I’ve been looking into Henry little by little, might have to get one in .44 🇺🇸 impressive 100yd shooting.
Thank you sir. I'm lovin it. Got another one coming very soon!
Congratulations on your new purchase, I get excited seeing someone get a new “toy”.
Beautiful “toy”, great video. I hope there’ll be more to come👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Appreciate that. Plenty more on the way!
Nice rifle. Enjoy your channel. I love my Henry 44 mag and was luckily able to find it at a great price on clearance at Wally World.
Wow, very nice! Appreciate you!
I have a Henry Long Ranger in 308. I use it for hunting and it has a 4-12x scope that came on it when I bought it from my grandpa, its about perfect for what I need it for.
Nice. Love me some .308.😎👍
Super sweet tool! If I ever can afford a smith model 29, I’ll be looking for one of these too
Thank you sir. I love this thing. Now I want even more of em!
@@ToolsandTargets I sold my Ruger Precision Rimfire this week, bought a cooler tool to replace it :) .22lr MP5
@@crankygunreviews Nice. My RK got one of those in a delivery last week.
@@ToolsandTargets it looks like the real thing, it’s made with a lot of polymer and cast aluminum- I hope it holds up
I have the big boy but to get the 20" octagon barrel I had to get the brass receiver. Such a fun gun to shoot. I have a vortex 1-8 on it . Shoots great ( I know some people don't like glass on a lever action but I'm getting old and my eyes aren't as good as they once were). Love your videos. Especially the bullet reviews! You save me tons of money thank you for what you do
Thank you sir. One thing I wish Henry did was let you choose from all the options for any mix and match of their rifles. The way it is, I have to buy a dozen just to get at least one with all the options I want.😆
Or ma'am if I made the wrong assumption.
@@ToolsandTargets God it'd be great to have the side gate on mine. Mix and match would be awesome. I'd be willing to pay more for the options I actually wanted. Your steel Henry looks great. I wanted the steel one but they didn't have the octagon barrel lol
Awesome shooting at 100 yards. Love it. Recently picked up the Henry Big Boy X 44 mag. Oh boy there's a handful of fun. Would like to post a heads up . When removing the bolt from the receiver take care . The extractor is pinned to the left inside of the receiver and will fall out when the bolt is removed. If you look at the left side of the receiver will will see the level pin pushing through. Just wanted to give the heads up. It's not really that hard to back into place.
Nice video tools. I agree love the side gate. Keep em coming.
Thank you sir. Plenty more good stuff on the way!
Tools is building a nice Henry collection. Great idea
Yessir!
I have this gun with the small lever loop. I really like the larger loop. Looks like I'm going to order one from Henry. I like the look. I have no side gate, just the magazine tube. Nice gun. Thanks for the video.
Nice. It was super easy to swap it out. Appreciate ya!
I'm jealous. Ive wanted one of those for years. Take it deer hunting this fall and video it for us.
I've been wanting to pick up one in a larger caliber since I got that Golden Boy.
@@ToolsandTargets maybe try some of those underwood extreme penetrators for bear
super nice tool there, I might have to start shopping for one !
It's definitely a sweet shooter!
A little lever gun love, nice! Enjoy shooting my Rossi 92 357. With 38’s in feels like shooting a 22. Those XTP’s would be an awesome deer load. I’d think about a LPVO 1x6 or 1x8, 3x9 at the most. Would be interesting to see jelly testing with various loads. Thanks for the video!
Appreciate ya brother. I'm definitely an LPVO fan.👍
Thats a nice gun that henry rifle, nice shootin tex, keep up the fun videos.
Thank you sir. Tons of fun!
I have a Big Boy Carbine in .357 / .38 Sp Brass with the hexagonal barrel and love it to death. No scope, just iron sights. I have a scope on my 1976 Marlin 336C however in .30-30
Nice! I just happened to pick up something new today chambered in .357.😎
@@ToolsandTargets Ohhhh very nice.
As for the scope. I put the FireField Impulse 1x28mm Red Dot w/Red Laser-Circle dot. I know y'all are going to say that's not so great an Idea but I stand buy this optic. I have two others one is on my KS7 12 gauge and the other is on my Henry Brass Side Gate 45-70 Govt. The site picture is perfect for 100+/- yard shots and the laser is dead on. It's very easy to zero the laser once you have the optic set just adjust the laser to its point of strike. Firefield says that this optic is good to .50 cal. My Henry 45-70, Henry BB X 44 mag, and Kel Tec Bullpup chambering three inch rounds 12 gauge says true. Just saying what I know and like!
With 44's i prefer fixed 2x20mm or 1-4×20mm.
It's non-long-range although capable but most likely a short distance thumper. A quick optic with longer eye relief for snap shots in woods hunting is practical and less cumbersome looking...
Thanks for the advice 👍
I gotta get me a Henry one of these days. Beautiful. Enjoy the shooting. Can't wait to see what optic you set on it.
Decisions, decisions!
Just watched you with the Henry 45-70. Outside in a swing enjoying this video. Wife said she'd get me the H006 44, but they sold it locally and I'm not much on mail orders. Enjoying this video, lots of fun. They have the 357 mag version and i'm probably going to regret not getting it.
Get it!😆😆😆
Love the levers….I have three Henry’s. The triggers are great!
I might have just picked up another one last week. I'm addicted.😆
Very nice addition to your "Tool Box"! Henry manufacture's an awesome product for sure. I've got one on my "Wish List", thinking in .45-70 though, ( I have a T-Rex problem around my place 😉). Nice shootin', enjoy your new Henry!
Thank you sir. 45-70 you say? 😉
Test that xtp in gel from that rifle
I can do that. I need to do more rifle stuff anyway.👍
Great shooting! Nice gun!
Thank you sir. Lovin it!
I been wanting a lever action rifle for years
After I got the .22lr, I immediately wanted a larger caliber one.😆
The loading gate on a cheep one can cut you. Practice loading and unloading live ammo on a range; not at home...
That is a good choice! Wish they made that exact set-up with the round barrel but color case hardened receiver and in 357magnum. I would rather have 44 magnum but just getting a 357 its already a struggle for me to add a new caliber lol! Couple of small taps to the right on that front sight you will be dialed in good with the steel sights! That's awesome man! ❤Love love love it!! Happy Friday! ✌😎👍💥💥💥🎯
Yessir. I might just get it good and dialed in on the irons instead of a scope. I definitely like the look of levers with just the irons. I wanna pick one up in .357 too but they're nearly impossible to catch in stock.😣
@@ToolsandTargets It sure put a whallop on them 2 liter bottles and that watermelon just disappeared lol! Gonna have some fun with that beauty! :D .44 magnum, there is no substitute! 🤠💪
@@ToolsandTargets I guess you dont have to drift the front sight in those?? Looks like the rear sight has a windage screw on it? i didnt know that!
@@Nutty.357 That screw loosens the little diamond insert but it only lets you move it up or down in a little slot. I guess you could use that to change how deep the diamond sits in the notch for a different sight picture. You still have to tap it over for windage. They actually tell you to tap the rear sight for windage. They have added a set screw to the dovetail on the rear to lock it in after you tap it over which is good cause I always worry about it moving getting bumped ort something.
Wow ! love lever action rifles , especially in pistol calibers
I couldn't resist!
Would love to see the chrono on that rifle. Beautiful gun
Thank you sir. I almost broke out the chrono on the vid. I'm very curious myself.
Great post. Those first rounds' were doing some damage to those steel targets. Oh yeah!!!
That's some good shooting. I really like that new tool also.
Thank you sir. 😎👊
GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL SIR! CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW HENRY! NICE! 👍
Thank you sir!😎👊
That's an awesome pickup.
I don't like the large loops, though.
They beat the crap out of my knuckles when I try to run them fast, lol.
Thank you sir. It was just the opposite for me. It wasn't so much the depth but the length of the standard one was too tight for me.
@@ToolsandTargets Those Henry's are fun to shoot.
I seen a Long Ranger 6.5 Creedmoor at Wal-Mart last night.
I came close to buying it, I just can't afford it.
Spent all my money on a Beretta a few weeks ago, lol.
Very cool tools. Can’t wait to see what your next tool will be. Very nice gun.
Thank you sir. The next one is definitely on the complete opposite end of the spectrum!😂
Those Henry's are GREAT. VERY Nice built rifle.
Lovin it so far.😎
Beautiful rifle! I have a Henry X in 44 magnum. I'm not a huge fan of scopes on lever guns, but my eyes are giving out on my so I picked up a 2-7x40 scope on it. I used Warne QD mounts so I can take it off at any time. I really enjoy the fiber optic sights at closer ranges.
I like the looks of good ol irons on these lever guns too, but I sure could use the zooms.
Beautiful Rifle and Good shooting!! Dominate Tools!!!
Thank you sir!
Have the 357 chambered, think I need it’s brother in 44 magnum. That is beautiful, and you are right, have to have the large loop, I did also
I want the .357 too!
Nice Henry Tools Henry makes nice Rifles good video Stay Safe Stay 2A Strong 🇺🇸
Thank you sir. They're definitely nice ones!
Nice rifle! It’s on my wish list 🙏 Thanks for the test Tools 🤠
Appreciate ya checkin it out, brother! Really liking it so far.
I'd forego the scope idea and install a Skinner peep sight instead. You're shooting pretty darn good with those semi-buckhorns. The peep will amaze you.
Thank you sir. I need to do that actually.
I have one in 38sp /357 Mg ! & LOVE IT too !!
I've been wanting a lever action in 44mag for a long time. Have watched a few videos' on this Henry. No one seems to comment on the recoil or trigger pull? Had a Browning 92 years ago and it kicked like a mule so much I got rid of it. This one seem very similar to the older Marlin style actions.
Really nothing to say as far as recoil. It's very minimal with the rubber butt pad on it. Trigger pull is about like any other henry lever action. Nothing competition level amazing but nothing to complain about either.
Great video. Great rifle. For a scope go with a 40 dollar glo pro. It’s a great economy scope and perfect for hunting under 100 yds.
Thank you sir. I need to check that out.
Nice review on a nice gun been wanting one for a while.. but the vortex diamond back at 200 yards and in is the ticket don’t go cheap on a nice gun..👍
Thank you sir. I'll have to take a look at that one. Wait till you see the rifle on the video tomorrow.😎
Great review! There is definitely a noticeable felt recoil experience if you use the 44 magnum lever brass version which has the hard brass buttplate instead of a pad
Oh, I have no doubt about it. My brass plate .45-70 is a bruiser.😆
@@ToolsandTargets By the way, love your channel, and it's nice to see a channel like yours that is entertaining and family friendly. Thanks for having no cursing in your videos. Even though I am not American (I'm from Canada), I love your patriotism and the video in which the chrony said 1776 and you played the anthem - that was hilarious. Blessings from the north, brother!
Been waiting for my local store to get a 44 mag or the 45 Colt
I just happen to be standing in my RK when they got this in randomly on a delivery.
@@ToolsandTargets my local store has a 45-70 22lr and 22mag
WTH!! I was waiting for you to do your best Rifleman reenactment. That is the proper way to break in a lever gun.
😆😆😆
Another great video love those Henry rifles
Thank you sir. I can't wait to get some more now!
I was able to fine a 44 Magnum Henry to add to my Collection of Henry’s about a month ago just like yours….And been ammo hunting for it ever since, was able to find 200 rounds of 240 magtech a few weeks ago and today I found some 200 grain 44 special have not seen that anywhere. I would real like to find some 270 grain Federal Hammer Down to use for Deer season…. I have a 3+9 Bushnell Engage with a illuminated 3 mill dot radical I’m thinking of putting on it …. In my older days I like the illuminated radical scopes just makes thing easier in woods and low light situations . I have another Henry coming probably tomorrow that just became available…. Probably will add a 327 magnum Henry when I can find one …. Henry makes some really good Quality rifles with fit and finish and mechanically …. I have noticed that all most every one does hit a bit to right out of box with iron sights.
Nice! I love this one so far. I'm definitely picking up more of them now!
@@ToolsandTargets I don’t you can go wrong with a Henry…. Quality guns at a reasonable price where most companies are trying to go cheap with lower Quality and reliability just like Remington tried to do and we all know that didn’t work out very well 😄 but the New REM Arms are back to old Quality of Remington 👍.
Hopefully Marlin / Ruger will get more models soon hearing the Quality is EXCELLENT 👍
I am waiting for mine now. In California we have to wait 10 days after payment. It has been a LONG 8 days so far!!!
