I like the looks of the Henry Big Boy. I was thinking about a 44 mag rifle to take to the range and to complement a 44 mag revolver. I saw them get a great review in Gun Test a couple of months back - actually beating out a Winchester 44 mag. I cannot find a Big Boy in stock anywhere - maybe they are getting bought up pretty quick or maybe they are not popular so gun shops are not stocking them. I did look at the Winchester and it looks like a solid gun - but I don't like the loading system. I think loading directly into the magazine tube by just dropping down the tube is much easier. I know the Big Boy does offer the drop into the tube loading.
Are the Big Boys a good quality gun that I can pass down or is the Winchester better made? I would like to hear about peoples experience with the Henry rifles; especially in their quality and durablity.
Thanks, Happy New Year.
