We think owning a lever action keeps history alive, which helps us better appreciate what we have. Some like to modernize with aluminum furniture, and others like to keep them in their original configuration. Jeremy opted to keep it mostly original, but added a pic rail for optic mounting. Repeaters will always have a place in the hearts of red blooded Americans who understand the importance of history.

Love lever actions. Got hooked as a kid watching The Rifleman. There wasn’t one problem Chuck Connors couldn’t solve with that lever gun. The tactical rifle of the 1890s still has a place in the gun rack today. .357 or .45 long colt, is a good home defense round, especially in a suburban environment. It’s a good choice if you live in a place where an AR draws unwanted attention or the state has created a number of legal issues with possessing one.

@Diemerstein Ай бұрын

They don't just make good home defense guns, but also hunting guns. Load a Henry 45 colt with +p ammo and you got your self a poor mans 45/70. Hell, if a .357 magnum revolver is good enough for bear defense, its even better out of a rifle.

My first one was handed down to me when I was 14 from my dad ( marlin Glenfield 30-30) , and now I'm 46 and I handed it to my son when he turned 14 this year. Of course I found and bought me another one just like it and my dad had done the same back when it was my turn. Since then I've added a henry big boy 45 lc and I absolutely love it. Great video, very well spoken . I agree with everything you had to say 100 percent.

What the intro to this video clearly shows is the absolute utility of a split bench seat in a pickup if your truck carries a gun in the backcountry. I’ve carried everything from a hunting rifle to a Mini14 to an AR between the seats. My back country vehicle has a console, and I miss being able to have my long guns so easily within reach.

Cool that you kept it minimally molested. You being a lefty I feel the need to mention the lever action is far more user friendly to a lefty than any right handed rifle. And these rifles come in everything from .22lr to 45-70 Oh and they can be converted to take down rifles and that allows the use of other barrel sets if you wanted to invest in that feature. It is expensive though. I own three lever guns Marlin 336 Uberti 1873 And a Shiloh sharps 1874

Good video but I just wanna add one more point to it. The reason you should own a repeater is because... With modern rifles, yeah having a detachable magazine and higher capacity magazines is cool and all, but that's just another component that can get lost or break. Less parts, less processes, less potential points of failure.

It's important to note that if you handload, then the 44mag can be easily tailored to match any gentle, soft-shooting 38 load you like, but it can also soar FAR beyond the power of even the hottest 357 loads. For versatility, the 44mag gets the nod.

@blainewright6060 5 ай бұрын

More versatile? Yes. Cooler? Probably. However, at twice the price, I’m sticking with .357. I can load 180gr cast bullets for about 22 cents per round. Heavy for caliber 44 Mag is gonna run me 35+ cpr. That’s not even counting the more expensive brass. Besides, my 180gr XTP load moves at around 1750-1800 fps from my Marlin 94 and that’s plenty for just about anything. My Cowboy action load is a 38 SPL with a 105gr TCFP that’s moving about 600 FPS. My .22 LR lever gun kicks harder! But you are correct, 44 SPL can be very soft shooting, and no amount of hot rodding will ever make a 357 put out more power than a 44.

@ajm2872 5 ай бұрын

@blainewright6060 great points 🫡 I try to streamline, so I only shoot 4 loads predominantly. A light 240 grain Keith "skeeter" load using HP38, a general purpose 240 grain Hardcast Keith with a max charge of H110, a defensive 240 grain xtp with a max charge of H110, and a heavy field load using a 300 grain hardcast WFN with a max charge of H110. I only have to buy 2 powders and 3 bullets, and there's no problem I can't solve 😁 My 240 skeeters only cost me about $0.29, with the xtp loads making me cry a bit at $0.45. I'm honestly considering just using kieths as a defensive load. I seem to remember doing the math and seeing that my "light loads" with HP38 are equal to a mid-range 357 in power? Either way, you're definitely beating me in cost per shot 🤣 I'm just invested is all. You know how it is.

@ajm2872 5 ай бұрын

@blainewright6060 158 and 180 grain hardcast .358s are soooo good. Where do you get yours? I keep thinking that I'll step into the 357 world, buy a revolver and carbine, but I always come back to the same math. Just to break even on the cost of the guns and extra reloading components, I would have to shoot something like 35,000 rounds 🤣 So I guess I'm stuck as a 44 man 😁

I am still learning. But the "Skinner sights"; those are the rear sight being a ring near the very back; right? I absolutely love those. Does Henry sell those or something? I would love this exact model as a SHTF rifle with skinner irons. I live in a restrictive area. I can technically get a "featureless" AR style 10 rounder. But it doesnt fit me as a lefty and I just loathe the way they look. I find ARs and modern weapons VERY UGLY save for some of the pistols. I would prefer to have a .357 lever, maybe a 9mm pcc, and a 12 gauge shotgun for my long guns. I already have a plethora of handguns. I wanted to pair this with my Taurus 65.

@mkshffr4936 5 ай бұрын

A little fast and loose with the definition and advantage of repearers there but otherwise a good perspective that I generally agree with. 20 in barrels are nice in that you get 10 rounds in the magazine. The fixed magazine removes the concern of damaged or lost magazines. The tube mag also allows easy top up while still in battery. When it comes to slick and handy long guns the lever is hard to beat. And when it comes to character it is without peer. To the corrections, a repeater includes not just levers but also pump, bolt, and semi-auto actions. Also non-repeating cartridge arms existed prior to the repeaters which could load and fire one round every 2-3 seconds rather than one or two a minute for muzzle loaders.
