Henry Big Boy X! What's The Point? 

Bingo. I own 10 lever guns of various calibers and brands, along with the “tactical” other side of my collection. It seems our presenter has little experience with lever guns? At worst, some of the Rossis with extremely stiff, crude actions and slick metal butt plates may need to be pulled off the shoulder. Otherwise, you are correct. I wonder what his business relationship is with Henry. I own two Henrys and had to send them both back for quality control issues, one five times until they provided a full warranty replacement. I enjoy these rifles/carbines now, and Henry customer service is very responsive and supportive. One is a Big Boy, 357 All-Weather, the other a Big Boy Steel 44 magnum, the one I had all the quality control issues with. Even the brand new warranty replacement they sent me, locked up so bad right out of the box that I couldn’t even clear it. They sent me another, and that one runs sweet. Just the voice of my experience for what it is worth.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing

Looks like saving the brass to the area he has layed out. So he doesn’t have to chase down all of it.

That's the first thing that came to my mind as well. Seems very odd.

@@Pappy7064 I have two Henry lever guns. Both are smooth enough that I cycle the lever, gun on my shoulder and stay on target.

I have one in 38/357, threw a trilug on it and a suppressor wrap so I can always easily use the tube to load.

Ought to be able to cycle a round without breaking his cheek-weld. Though, to be fair, the rifle looked to be rough running.

I think he needs to go to the gym more often.

Yeah bringing the rifle to his stomach looked really dumb.

@khester7397 I can't speak for this gun specifically, but I have 5 model Xs and they have very smooth actions.

Henry makes a 45 colt. I have one in the X model.

@@joeellis2692 well I get they make a 45 long colt, but will it shoot 454 Casull and 460 Smith& Wesson Magnum

@@leskrug9266 it sounds like other manufactures are meeting your needs, I fail to see how this is Henry’s fault?

@@Bvegaaaa I'm not saying it's Henry's fault. I'm just asking why they don't make it so it shoots all three calibers out of the same gun like Smith& Wesson's revolver does Taurus judges shoot the 45 long Colton the 454 console and 410 shotguns ruger's Alaska and'll shoot to 45 on Colton 454 console but not the 460! Just wondering why they don't so you have more versatility in one gun. Even though I buy a gun for it specific caliber. I have a 460 Smith& Wesson Magnum with 10 and 1/2-in barrel. I've never shot anything but the 460. I've never shot a 45 long cold out of it and I've never shot a 454 console out of it.

​@@leskrug9266 because it's a rifle with a completely different operating system than a revolver. Does anyone make a lever action rifle that shoots all of those?

Can't have an assault stick or assault slingshot there either.

Pretty soon they'll ban knives like in England. Then Illinois residents will only be allowed to plastic or paper knives.​@@srsatlaf4730

The fore grip is so nice!

Why would you want an inferior cartridge? Henry levers now have a side gate option in most calibers.

Nope. Bianchi SPAS-12.

@@jsedbe0624 I think they meant Chris Pratt’s rifle, which is a Marlin all weather SBL in .45-70 I believe. They even advertise it as a gun for hunting dinosaurs on their website haha!

You are correct. I was thinking of the first movie with the velociraptors. Good call!

@@jsedbe0624 oh yes that is a SPAS in the first movie. And the bald hunter guy in 2 or 3 has some kind of massive elephant rifle.

@@jsedbe0624 do you mean Franchi?

Uses the same magazine tube as the 16” barrel version, while adding extra space to machine threads.

Yep, but Henry's are so fun for today's money. Mine now looks like an old mountainmans gun with leather straps and shiny brass. LOVE IT!
