Well, after having fun for over a decade with Marlin lever actions (have an 1894 in .357 and an 1895) and having read about all the Henry goodness (Dpris, you're a bad influence!), I decided to dip my toe in the water and order myself up a Henry! Brownells had the one I was looking at on sale plus a one day coupon which made it too attractive to pass up (wasn't planning on buying one yesterday).
I ordered up a Henry H009CC, the 20" color case hardened 30-30. I really like the color case hardened receiver and the octagonal barrel. I'm not giving up the Marlins, but it will be nice to try a different brand and loading system. Everyone says they are very well screwed together and are beautifully finished. Also like the fact that it's built here in Wisconsin! I'm hoping it arrives by the end of the week, and of course, pictures forthcoming!
