Got an itch the other day, saw a Dan on GB, but it went way high and has not even sold yet. So on to plan B, I've been wanting one for a while and saw at GS a while back. Fairly local shop had a good price on Henry's at gun show but not in a 44 steel. Found one on GB and it was used but unfired 599.00 w/0 bids ?? So I called LGS and they had one that I got for a little more w/tax than GB [if I got it for 599.0] after fees !! I'd rather support a LGS anyhow and I got it TODAY 
and it's brand new.. Henry Big Boy Steel 44 Magnum, DYING to shoot it

Well, I had one in .357 that I sent on to my brother Steve when I picked up one in .41 last Christmas. You're going to love it.

I gotta admit, I'm in love with this Uberti 1873 with half octagon barrel and case hardened frame, lever & buttplate.

Got it to the range today. Sweet shooter w/just enough kick to know you're shooting a real rifle. Got er dialed in at 50', now to get outside and see what she'll do !!

Don't forget that it is already drilled and tapped to take a scope mount.

Very nice. Various Henry models are available with octagon barrels and brass receivers. Also, all made in the USA

Don't know a lot about Uberti, but know Henry's reputation and lifetime warranty, I saw brass models w/octagon barrels, very nice looking, but for practicality I chose the steel. 1 it's lighter, 2 if I decide to hunt w/it [which I can do in Ohio], don't want shiny brass to reflect light !! BTW brass was same $$ and available in 357 Mag, 44 Mag and 45 Colt !!

FWIW I was not happy w/forward stock/grip, it had a odd looking spot in finish of wood on right side !!
I called Henry yesterday and told them about it, before I could even finish, the guy asked for my name model #, address ph # and said a new stock would be HERE in 4-5 days. NO QUESTIONS asked and did not want old one!!!
THAT is customer service at it's best !!! 
Also on the brass models, the butt plate is also brass. [did not look very comfortable to me !!]
The steel has a nice soft rubber butt plate

I think you chose well. I have a Rossi 44 lever gun with a steel buttplate and the recoil is significant!

Got my shoulder strap and a scabbard that I think I can fit on my MC !!!
Looks like it'll work to me !! 
Feebay, about 50.00 in both !!
Used to strap pool stick and fishing pole to 'er before, so why not. Nice to be able to "ride" to range. 
Might get some LOOKS 
A couple of "Big Boy's and the scabbard.

I think [in his own subtle way] Stinger wants to see the super glide, snake-eye !!! Me too. 
Mine is also a SG, when I painted it in 99- 2000 I put on a FL front end. I wouldn't trade that fat front tire for two pistol packs

Hey guys, just a friendly reminder, let's stay on topic. Gun forum, not a motorcycle forum.

And a Motorcycle Topic would be pretty
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Will do, Steve. Got a new stock coming soon and will post it then. So don't shut me down yet I started w/scabbard on bike for my Henry, but have thought about a bike thread before.
