Winchester vs. Henry?

[jeepercreeper]

I have 3 Henrys and sold my Winchester. The Henrys were just better guns but the Winchester was more nostalgia than anything

 

[General Zod]

Pre-1964 Winchester.

 

[Alan R McDaniel Jr]

I have Winchesters, Marlins, Savage 99s, and Henrys in various models, flavors and rounds.

I like them all. The only time I ever had a lever action jam was a Win 94 made in 1965.

Winchester.

If you can't get that, a Marlin or Ssvage.

I've owned Henry's, but mine had polymer sights and a cast receiver. 22 lr and wmr. I was not impressed.

That last paragraph is an ignorant statement.

yeah, we all know luck isn't real

Is “ good luck “ a paragraph?

Good luck is not a sentence. Nice try.

 

[skfullgun]

I don't think "nice try" is a sentence, either.

Glad to help.

Lottsa good stuff in those 1st 5 pages. I'm kinda short on lever action knowledge so I've enjoyed & appreciated it all. Thank you OP.
BTW, I have a 1967-made Win 94 in 30-30 that I've fired 3 times in the 14 years that I've owned it. It went bang all 3 times. I'll keep it.

Would love to have one of the new Ruger Marlin 1985 45-70's. Not willing to pay the price, though.

A few dollars difference in 45-70 rifles doesn't matter, at the current price of 45-70 ammunition.

 

[deemus]

You can reload them fir around 70-80 cents each.

I want a Henry long Ranger in 223.

A Henry big boy in 44 mag to go with my Redhawk.

And more uberti revolvers and rifles. So far knock on wood, no issues with the two I have but I run cowboy loads only. I like uberti. Fit in finish is good. Not perfect but it’s still better than Henry. Henry has gotten better. In 2016 I had a Henry 45-70 that I should not have traded.

The long ranger rifles look good and I think I’ll go that direction vs another blr. Also had a blr in 30-06 I traded. Light gun for an 06. Definitely said hello. I can see a long ranger in 243 or 22-250 being a nice set up.

 

[V-Tach]

Uberti revolvers/rifles are good to go..............

Pietta......not so much....imho...

Since I caused a derailment, how about a picture?

1873, 1894, and an 1892. Please note the size of the loading gates. All three guns are .32 caliber. The ‘94 is .32 Winchester special. Basically a larger diameter 30-30. The other two are .32 Winchester Center Fire (WCF), aka 32-20. One round is suitable for deer, the other is not.

You decide which is suitable for deer hunting. I don’t want to sound ignorant.
