The 327Federal Magnum in an eight-pound rifle may seem a bit much for less, but I'd like to handle one and might buy. Sounds like another six months before open sales?
If Henry would move away from their NYC/Bloomberg labor force to a Right-to-Work state, O wonder what we'd see insofar as innovation and workingman's pricing?

I'll be interested in the Big Boy Steel Carbine in 327 to go with my Ruger Single 7 and also to keep my Big Boy Steel 44 and Big Boy Steel Carbine 357 company. I used to have a Marlin 32 Magnum rifle but sold it way back. Just didn't have a use for it as it's too low powered for deer and too much power for small game and also not legal to use for small game as it is rimfires only in Louisiana.
The 327 is a different story since it's as powerful or more powerful than the 30 carbine in the Ruger and the rifle will probably boost the velocity another 400-500fps just like the 357 and 44 magnums do in the rifle vs. the pistol.

In reference to the quote about the NYC labor force on Henry's. Henry now operates out of Bayonne,NJ, having left NYC in the past. The big boy steel rifles and carbines, and the 30-30 and 45-70's are built in their Rice Lake, Wisconsin facility. Having the opportunity to buy rifles over the last 50 years, I can attest to the quality of the 2 Henry's that I have, both built in Wisconsin. Hopefully, on the 327, Henry will use a lighter barrel contour than that found on the other pistol calibers. We'll see. Bob!! :mrgreen:

Here is what Ballistics By The Inch had to say about the .327 Fed Mag -> http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/327mag.htmlHunter6657 said:
The biggest velocity gain comes between 2" and 6" barrel lengths. I would expect a Henry rifle with a typical 20" barrel would result in the AE 100 grain load moving along at 2150 fps or so.
Pretty cool rifle... I will have to have one.

Well I stand corrected on the Yonkers, NYC move to that enclave of freedom and liberty - New Jersey! :shock: Looks like they started operations in Rice lake in 2014, so I am behind the times on their company. Except for their Ithaca (and Armalite) copy, their rifles are not my cup of tea, but of good quality and highly regarded. 8)

How did I miss this thread? Not only is a Henry not a Ruger, but neither is a rifle a revolver, nowadays! Regardless of the interest the caliber may have.

Woodsy,
I must admit, your point is correct. However, the there is a tradition among those packing REVOLVERS that many of them want a lever action rifle in the same caliber to match up with their wheel gun of choice. This goes back to the 1870's when Colt chambered their SAA for the 44WCF (aka 44-40) to go with Winchester's 1873 rifles. This is where this point comes into the realm of a "Revolvers" section of this forum. We would gladly discuss a Ruger rifle in 327 if they made one. Sadly, they do not. So, we talk about Henry's new offering.
I hope this humble explanation suffices....

Wouldn't you know it? I recently ordered a 327 conversion from Ranger Point Precision and a month later Henry announces a rifle in 327 at a significantly lower price. I got one of those GP 100s in 327 and added stag inserts to the grips. Really nice looking. Have been carrying it out to the ranch but so far it is unfired. Have been considering getting a few more cartridges as I am 77 and a few hundred more rounds will probably last my lifetime, I think it is a cool cartridge.
I just received an e-mail response from Henry President, Mr. Anthony Imperato, who took time to answer an e-mail on Sunday. He reports that the 327's should ship early spring and he thanked me for posting this thread on the Ruger forum so as to get the word out. I've dealt with him before and he'll do whatever it takes to satisfy a customer. My hat's off to him. Bob!! :mrgreen:
howl, if I were in a running gun fight, I'd want a 92 Winchester so that I could top off on the go, or better yet an AR-15. The under the barrel loading is no different from loading a tube magazine 22LR, just bigger ammo. I load 12 41 specials in my Henry 41 Magnum rifle, which should be sufficient for hunting, target shooting, or home invasion use. One can do the same with 32 H&R magnums with the new rifle. Bob!!
