I've got my eyes on one too. It's either going to be one in .357 or .45LC. If my avatar isn't a give away, I do like my old west guns...

Keep an eye on the EE sometimes they pop up there at a good price in nice condition

Well are you more interested in tactical rifles or more of an old west style rifle?

Edit: I see that you like the lever guns (I do too!). In that case, I would go for a lever action chambered in .357. The nice thing about that, is a gun chambered in .357 will be able to shoot .38 special which is a cheap to shoot pistol round.

Is anything chambered if 357 going to work like that, I just discovered that the Henry Mare's leg comes in .357 and oh how I like those.

Yes, .38 special would work in that gun.

 

[drpestilence]

Yes, .38 special would work in that gun.

Well that's just pain exciting.

Whatever you end up getting, be sure to post some pics!

The Henry big boy in 357 is one of the guns in my collection that I have to resist bringing with me every time I'm headed to the range. And 38spc is more fun than you can swing a stick at!

A Henry .22 was what cinched the deal for me getting into shooting, and my first solo purchase has been a .22 Henry Frontier, I would not be opposed to my second being a Henry

Thanks for all the great responses all!

I purchased a Henry Frontier from advice I received from some CGN shooters and it is a fun gun, bought a Loader as well that made refilling easy peasy

I may investigate re-loading later in life, we live in an apartment currently and I feel that's something that might need some dedicated and safe space.

Exactly what Ozy says. 38 special and start loading your own, keep an eye out on gunnutz for a nice lever.
