Now Ruger only has to convince the ammo companies to make some 45-70 and 30-30 ammo. There hasn't been any available in over 2 years from my distributors.
Or 35 either for that matter.Now Ruger only has to convince the ammo companies to make some 45-70 and 30-30 ammo. There hasn't been any available in over 2 years from my distributors.
Pray for Ballard rifling and 38-55 chambers!Come on 35 Rem!
In my experience, yes. More accurate and a more robust mechanism. I stuck a scope on a Marlin Cowboy 45 Colt just to see what it was capable of at 100 yards, and it printed groups of 1 1/2" and 1" with "cowboy" loads and hot jacketed hunting ammo, respectively. I've never seen a Henry shoot that well at much over 25 yards. Marlin 39A 22LR and their 45-70s are renowned for their accuracy, while the Henry rimfires and big bores are adequate, but generally not spectacular. And I've put tens of thousands of rounds through it in hot and heavy competition- including black powder loads- with nary a hiccup or need to clean during the match. Watched several competitors with Big Boys have issues or need to strip down for cleaning halfway through a match while shooting BP.Are Marlins better than Henry??
