Henry .45-70 and a familiar face

[Chris]

Henry is releasing a .45-70 lever action: https://www.henryrifles.com/rifles/45-70-lever-action/

If you scroll down, you'll see a pic of me using the rifle on that page.

Oleg Volk took the pic a while back... I'm kind of tickled that they chose to use the shot... I work in advertising but it's rare I end up on that side of the camera.

That's a very nice rifle! I do like the Henry firearms.

That is very cool. Congrats.

I just added a 45-70 Henry a few months ago.

I Do love my Henry's

[TNWNGR]

I like the looks of the rifle, not sure if I want one but am more then a bit intrested at this time.

Thats cool love me some Henry Rifles

[peejman]

This one?

 

 

 

Lever guns in .45-70 are cool.    Well... pretty much anything chambered in .45-70 is cool.  ;)

[Chris]

That's me. All decked out for Africa... never thought of a lever action for game over there, but it might be fun.

That's me. All decked out for Africa... never thought of a lever action for game over there, but it might be fun.

I read an article of someone who took a Marlin 1895 and buffalo bore ammo in .45/70 and took each of the big 5 over there including elephant.

[Chris]

That's a little light for Elephant or buffalo, but it hits the minimum requirements so why not. It'd play hell with light skinned game like lion or leopard.

[Wade195]

That is so cool.

My Henry 45-70 is the steel.

I am still waiting to run so rounds through it though.

I bought a case of Leverevolution in 325 grain and a case of 250 grain.

My thought is i could use it for most all my hunting needs?

We shall see.

There are two novels, Hombrecito's War and Hombrecito's Search which feature the .45-70 as long range justice...

Congrats on the .45-70 Henry.  I've enjoyed shooting the Henry rifles from .22 to .44 mag.
