Many people seem to use them for the same reasons, plinking, target, hunting up to and including deer out to around 100 yards. Some even use them for wild hog and black bear.
How about you? What do you use it for? What do you feed it and what's your rifle? I think of these as lever guns but there are bolt action, pump, autos, and single shots so I put this in the general forum.
I've got a big boy Henry in each caliber, brass 44, steel 357. Smooth and flawless functioning with a great variety of ammo from long heavy bullet magnum down to specials, no complaints whatsoever.
I haven't hunted with them but either should kill a deer with a week placed shot. If turkey are likely I'll probably take the 357. If pig are likely I'll probably take the 44. No bear in Texas.
