I've watched two 45/70 new Marlin's, a Rossi 357, pass through my local shop without buying them. Have passed on two different "tactical" Henry 45 Colts. Currently know where a Henry 44 (used) and a new Henry 357 reside. So much want, so little funds. I talk myself out of them, with the following argument:
1) Ammo is too expensive
2) Would annoy the other guys at the match when I shot it as a PCC (USPSA or steel challenge)
3) Did I mention I'm broke
I shot a buddies 45/70 years ago and fell in love. I may hold out for the new 357 Marlin or just buy a press and go with the 45 Colt Henry
I doubt I'll be satisfied with a Rossi. I prefer my 1911's and lever guns to be US made. Just my hillbilly nature.
Anyone have any experience with the new Henry 357 or the 45 Colt?
Thanks.
