New Henry Single-Shot Rifles

The steel 45/70 has an msrp of only $427. That should translate to just shy of 600 before tax. I would totally be interested in one for that sort of price!
Although it looks like North sylva is the importer for Henry so they'll call it a DMR single shot and charge $1200 for it...

They have been making them for almost a year... I priced them out and and was quoted $699 and $720 by two vendors... plus tax and shipping... unless they come out with a better configuration, I will pass. I had a dialogue with Anthony regarding my desire to see an octagon barrelled .30/30 and .45/70... don't know if it means anything but he sent me a nice "thank-you" gift package.
$699 for a gun that sells for $369 down south? Ugh. Might have to see what IRG can do for us with those kinda prices...
An octagon barrel would be cool, but I'm not sure I'd want to pay much of a premium for one. These seem like a perfect entry point to the 45-70, so people like me can figure out if its a cartridge they like without having to drop $900+ on a Marlin or twice that on a No.1.

We certainly do get boned up here on gun pricing. Much like automobiles. I like the concept and the fact that they fill a niche left empty when The handi rifle died. But, no way are they worth that kind of coin.
Not if we can convince them the demand is there and its something they should put into their regular stock. Then its only what, $25 to get it into Canada, plus shipping to your door from their warehouse in Alberta?
Cabelas is also listed as a Canadian importer. Maybe they'll bring them in for a reasonable price?

Im going to have to keep my eye open too. Seems kinda ridiculous that a gunstore that has henrys all over the shelves couldnt add a few single shots to their stock.
Straight grips do nothing for me, so I like the steel single shots quite a bit for that reason alone (the brass ones come w/ straight grip)
Now THAT would be something. I'd want two for that price! 45-70 for sure... Maybe a 44mag for ####s and giggles!
Considering just the receiver half of a t/c encore is like $700 and that doesn't include the barrel, even at just shy of 600 these would have potential. Particularly the 45-70, but possibly others too.
Don't know if that is a real detractor. The couple I've handled definitely felt better than any blr I know of. Slimmer profile, flush fit magazine, much better trigger. If I had to choose between the two the long ranger is the one I would go with. Currently just waiting to see if they put one out in .338 federal or 7mm-08
Imo you pay for modularity and caliber selection with the tc, but I couldn't justify buying one of those either recently. Guess I'm just stingy, if henry starts offering a wide variety of more boutique calibers like other single shot mAnufacturers I might get into it
