Bears leg in 44 mag

[poodude999]

What is the recoil handling on these like compared to 12 gauge shotguns with a short grip?

You are right, this one seems non restricted. I learned something tonight.

Henry lists 6.59 pounds for 45/70 and 30-30, 5.75lb for the 357 and 44. My single shot 12ga (with a stock) weighs under 5.5lb as a comparison.

That's heavy. I feel like a Marlin 1895 is around 6.59lbs

But doesn't the 25" OAL make it a restricted rifle? Even if it's not a pistol, this would be a range toy only.

Here's hoping it gets imported with an SBR stock. I'd definitely get a 14" 45-70 from Henry for up country hunts.

No. It doesn't go below 26" via "folding, telescoping, or otherwise". For manual actions, fixed stock = 26" OAL rule does not apply. This should be common knowledge by now.

Plenty Mare's Leg with 23"-24" OALs out there that are non-restricted.

Marlin lists those at 7.3-7.4 pounds.


Interestingly, Henry lists the full stock 16" barreled H10 Explorer and Protector models at 7.0lb, which seems pretty light if the Bears Leg is 6.6lb.

Not sure if that loop is big enough for spin cocking, which, realistically, is the only use case for a stock like this.

That grip might be an issue for the FRT issuing people....if it's anything like their (il) logic for revolving rifles.

I like Bears Leg. Like really, how many of us were shooting at Mares?

The magazine capacity is not that great, it's listed as 4 for both .357 and .44mag, 3 rounds for the rifle calibres.

The Rossi Ranchhand 92's with their shorter barrel (12inches vs 13.8 inches) takes 6 rounds in the magazine.

Beautiful, I have sent Henry probably a dozen product requests for a mares leg in steel vs brass. This will absolutely do. I have a spare model x stock sitting on the shelf that would he perfect for this.

That's an interesting observation. Even Henry's mares leg with a 12.9" barrel lists a 5 round capacity. I wonder why the bears leg is so limited.

The only think I can think of is the action design is longer and less efficient space wise.

I see North Sylva just posted in stock Henry’s but no bears leg it would be nice for them to respond when customers ask questions.
Maybe I will check with irunguns instead.

The Chiappa Bandit Bootleg was fine though, lol

North Sylva is what it is.... kind of like Trump.
IRG will likely be the quicker option. Which caliber are you thinking of?

Making things even more odd, the 16.5" H12 Protector (should be the same action) is listed as holding 7. How does 2.7" of barrel get you 3 more rounds, when 44mag has an OAL of 1.61"?

Peculiar.

 

[Can-down]

That is strange.

The name is easily the worst thing about this gun.
