I never had any interest in 357/38 until I got my first 357 Marlin. Now, I shoot my 357's more than anything else but rimfires. Of course, my favorite is still 45ACP out of a 1911-pattern pistol.

Henry centerfire lever action rifles

I got a Henry catalogue in the mail recently, and it got me thinking. I'm curious how durable they are, and if the design is like a Winchester or Marlin or neither. I thought someone here might have had one long enough to have an opinion based on long-term use. Thanks.

Well, at 40 yards it shoots minute-of-spinach-can. They literally exploded when hit by the 170-grain Rem CORE-LOKTs. It was getting dark, and I wanted to shoot something. I wouldn't have eaten that spinach, anyway. Nothing better than shooting expired canned vegetables for a reactive target. :D
