How close is the Henry action to a 336? Just looking at the guns from the outside they look very similar, if both have loading gates.

I have a theory on why Ruger didn't do that and I figure it's because since these will be their first lever actions there's bound to be QC issues. The hardcore gun owners who want a lever action .45-70 or .30-30 (at a time ammo in some caliber is unavailable or almost $2 a round) that they can be beta testers and call up Ruger CS when they have issues. Ruger will see where their issues in production are and correct them, then they'll work on getting the .357 and .44 Mag rifles to market.I would have thought the first would have been one in 38/357 - as popular as they are and priced accordingly, I would bet they would sell out quickly.
So true, Henry has a few newer products I’d love to get my hands on. Good luck finding them though, especially at a reasonable price. At least I have my .357mag and .41mag BBS’s to assuage my Henry itch. But I’m a patient man.I think all ruger needs to do is get more of them on the market than Henry. Just personal experience but I've never had much luck finding many henry rifles let alone the ones I was looking for. If ruger can flood the market with theirs, I think that's all they need to do to gain an edge over henry. Assuming a base level quality of course.
444 Marlin would do it for me--the perfect lever cartridge IMO, wouldn't mind a red hawk while they were at it.I will patiently wait and see if they offer something I am interested in (neither of the first two trip my want meter) caliber wise down the road.
