Henry is shipping a new version of their steel 30-30 this month. It's 7 lbs and comes equipped WITH XS ghost ring sights (an $80-$100 value), for around $570 street price ($769 MSRP). Know someone that has one on order at that price. The new version also features a checkered stock and fore end. The...

farmer44mag

How soon do you plan to have it up and running?

farmer44mag

yeah, i think with the rather small line of products henry has you can keep it very simple.

farmer44mag

All i can say is: I'll be there!!! I have one of the new Henry .30-30's with XS sights on order and i plan on doing a full report of it with pics to post on here and Marlinowners and would happily post it on your new site. I am thinking it will be a great deer gun and great compliment to my Marlin 3...

farmer44mag

How is the action on these guns? Does the rebounding hammer cause it to lever hard and bumpy like the 94AE's?

farmer44mag

I'd like one of these- but from what i have heard everyone that has bought a new marlin lately has had to send them back and sometimes they still aren't very good the second time around.

I am spending my money on the new Henry .30-30 this year. Hopefully Marlin's quality will return soon

farmer44mag

And actual price is promised to be similar to the old model at around $500

farmer44mag

And a version that compares very well to the quality 2006 Marlin 336c i currently have.

farmer44mag

This will be my next purchase. Just checked in on the Henry website and was going to send a letter asking for a lighter-weight version of there .30-30 and apparently they have heard that alot cuz they just came out with one!! Checkered straight grip walnut stock and sling swivels with XS Ghost ring ...

farmer44mag

I really like my lightweight, pistol grip, .30-06 blr. It doesn't feel as good as my marlin 336 but you get used to it- it does have a long length of pull but the action is very fast. I have had cause to empty my BLR on a deer at last light several times and never have any trouble- I don't like to l...

I have one of the single trigger SxS 12 ga's with 28 inch barrels. It's been a good gun so far for about 10 years now. not a huge amount of rounds through it though. I use it as my corner closet, quick response varmit gun. It's taken care of alot of skunks, woodchucks, and rabbits. I have had two &q...

I like my 30.06 just fine!!! With 2.5x Leupold. Shoots very nice little clusters just leaning my elbows on the local shooting bench. Started using Hornady SST 150gr loads this year and am very happy with the performance and accuracy. Shoots tighter groups than my ruger m77 30-06 with a 6x. I find th...

Forgot to mention i used hornady SST's 150gr. this year. They are incredible!!! It was like i was shooting a magnum this year compared to the generic softpoints i usually use. Went through both shoulders on 2 of my deer with incredible damage. Not good for meat saving- but great when you shoot a dee...

I had a few misfires with mine when new- but in my case there wasnt even a hit on the primer most of the time. Havn't had any trouble for years now. For about 5 years now i have been lubing my firing pin holes with break free clp when putting them up for extended periods. have never had a problem wi...

farmer44mag

Got this nice minnesota 200lb.+ 9-pointer with my .30-06 lightning BLR. Shot my first 9 deer with it with the open sights, brought it back into action this year with a 2.5x leupold on top. Fell in love with leupolds this year. Shot 3 deer with this setup and one other with my ruger m77 all weather u...

farmer44mag

Gotta love the BLR! Great job kid!

farmer44mag

Dang, i missed it as well. Apparently I also missed the last 2 as i only remember seeing 2 of them.

farmer44mag

my brother complained about getting alot of junk mail from them as well a few years back when i bought him a one year membership. I myself have been a member for over 10 years and get very little junk from them. I always renewed early so they don't have to waste money sending multiple renewals.

Just saw a very good and informative pro-gun segment on Lou Dobbs tonight about our fears of the Obama administration. Lou is the only reporter i have ever seen on national tv with a pro-gun position other than a few on fox news. Sounded like he just bought a shotgun last weekend. I was very suprise...

farmer44mag

i have the same exact model as u (original poster) and mine is very accurate with the original open sights. If i install a peep i imagine my shots would all go into 1 hole. I reciently purchased a Henry 22mag, it didnt come with the large loop lever, I can purchase one for $50.00 and am wondering h...

farmer44mag

so are the firing pins on the 94AE's better or weaker??? Occasionally i end up dry fireing at the end of a rapid fire shot string if i miss count the rounds.

farmer44mag

yeah man, where i hunt we shoot whatever we see cuz it might be all we see- and as others have said- the young ones are the best eating.

farmer44mag

well i only have 4 so thats what i'll list.

Henry big loop carbine .22 long rifle
Winchester 94AE trapper .44 mag.
Marlin 336C 30-30 win.
Browning Lightning BLR .30-06

farmer44mag

I don't know the answer to this but mine in 30-30 catches the federal flat points on the top edge of the chamber whether levering slow or fast. However the winchester and remington round noses as well as the leverevolution bullets feed nice and smooth with no issues- so that is what i use.

my G17 and G21 have been awsome. just bought them this year and so far have 1500rds shot through them with no malfunctions of any kind. For years i thought they were junky looking- then a guy at my local range let me shoot his and i was hooked. got the factory night sights on both as well and love t...

farmer44mag

My hunting with the 30-30 has been in the brush so i have stuck with the cheaper winchester power points and remington core-lokt shells but my mom has a scope on her marlin and uses it exclusevly for all of her deer hunting and has shot 2 deer with the LE ammo. both were shot at less than 150yds and...

i bought the large loop carbine model a year ago for $235 out the door at my local dealer. had a blast shootin it last winter. very accurrate and smooooooooth

farmer44mag

I went ahead and ordered the Stack-On with the electric lock. i like having the option of opening it with a key if the electric lock malfunctions. and it will be much faster for me to open than a turn dial model.

farmer44mag

I called Stack-On and they said if u have electrical lock problems than u just peel off the keypad and use the manual key so i see no problem with the electronic lock. they said occasionally a key pad goes bad but other than that they have had no problems with them.

farmer44mag

Has anyone looked at the Stack-On Elite Plus - the ones that are at Dick's sporting goods (back east)? These are supposibly waterproof up to 2 or 3 ft and fireproof? the have a black body and gray door - weight about 600 lbs and hold 28 guns for $599. they look to be a good deal to me - anybody see...

farmer44mag

Maybe You guys can answer a question for me. Do the keypad safes have another way to open them? After a house fire that keypad is gonna' be gone. So how do you get your guns out? :? the one i am looking at says it includes a "trouble key" so i assume there must be a key-hole behind the ke...

farmer44mag

I've got a Canon with the electronic lock. It works great. Had it for 5+ years. Can get in the safe in 2-3 seconds. When the battery is about to go out, it beeps. You change the battery and everything is normal again. Would highly recommend a Canon with the electronic lock. does yours also have a &...

farmer44mag

I am planning on purchasing a gun safe and am just wondering for those of u that have them which do u think is better- a standard combination lock or one of the new electronic ones??? of course the electronic would be more convenient- just wondering how they hold up and how the standard combo locks ...

farmer44mag

i just got mine in the mail a few days ago and installed it tonight. it dropped right in my 336 and didn't tighten up the action at all. I ran a few live rounds through the action to test function and seems to work fine- seems to eject a little more to the rear- hopefully the emptys will go more str...

farmer44mag

i didn't say i wanted it done- i just said thats about all that could be done as far as i know. i am no expert- i just like the rifleman

farmer44mag

well i have watched half of them now and haven't had a problem yet other than 2 of them had the episodes lists switched around. they didnt improve the picture quality any but didn't hurt it any either- i don't think there is any way to improve on the old black and white shows is there- other than co...

I recently bought a 16 DVD- 80 episode set of this series off of e-bay for about $25 i beleive it was. Just thought i would let u know for those that are interested. Don't know if it's the whole series or not but i assume it is.they had more on there at the time for same price. i saw it somewhere el...

farmer44mag

yeah, it definetely is worth the money for what most guns cost these days. although not too long ago a new 30-30 cost the same

farmer44mag

Hello all, i've been a follower of the forum for a couple years but didn't post much on the old one. anyways i just purchased a new big-loop henry .22 last week and love it. The smoothest action of any gun i own and right out of the box! VERY ACCURATE. I don't notice the plastic barrel bands at all ...
