The 45-70 is the latest of 12 Henry rifles I own. It\'s a bear. It\'s ammo makes it the least cost effective Henry unless you reload. But for those who do reload like myself, you\'ll find it is a comfortable, reliable rifle. Don\'t get me wrong. I had to put a deceleration pad on the butt stock. It\'s a big bore gun in every sense of the word, but it\'s power and accuracy make it one of my favorite. It has the smoothest action of most any lever action rifles I\'ve shot. I do love this gun. But be prepared, it\'s not for someone that is ignorant of its power.

First off, Great service by Buds. This was my first Henry and will not be my last. Yes this gun is a little more than a marlin but I have held and shot both and the Henry is worth the extra. Good quality gun and made in America. If you are trying to decide what brand to buy, just go ahead and get a Henry. I highly recommend this rifle. Thanks Buds

Very nice looking rifle. The wood has a tight pattern on the grain and is very attractive, easily the best looking wood & blue gun that I own.
The action cycles very smooth.
The trigger.....wow....the trigger has zero take up and breaks very crisply and at a light enough pull to be better than some of my bolt action rifles.
The rear stock has very nice dimensions and doesn't feel cramped at all as do other .45/70 level guns with this barrel length. The curved pistol grip allows for a very natural position of your hand.
The forearm stock is nice and rounded with excellent checkering on all sides.
The recoil pad is more than adequate for the recoil generated by this gun.
The iron sights on this gun are very well designed in that they are both fast on target, yet capable of precise aiming.
The loading tube is easy to use for swiftly loading the rifle.
There is nothing about this gun I'd change. I'm very glad I bought this Henry from Bud's.

This is an outstanding firearm. I have shot Buffalo Bore 405s and Hornady 325 flex tips with it. The firearm did not care took them and wanted more. Easy to use, easy to load, action is outstanding. It is a proud member of the Henry family and I am very happy to have. I am thinking of getting a Marlin 45-70 as well now. If you hunt you are going to want this rifle in your gun collection.

I ordered the rifle on a Sunday nigh and had it in my hands Wed. morning. Talk about fast! I've not had it to the range yet, but am eagerly anticipating the trip out. The rifle was exactly as described and pictured, a very beautiful rifle. Almost to nice to shoot, ALMOST. I am very pleased with Buds this was my 2nd order with them and look forward to continued business with them, great job guys.

Shipping was extremely fast. 1 budsgunshop.com. The rifle is extremely accurate and works flawlessly. I have one minor problem. The 2nd shot I put through the rifle made the stock chip where it connects to the receiver on the right side of the hammer. It isn't a huge deal, but I'm trying to contact Henry to get it fixed. I had the rifle looked at by an excellent smith and all they said was it was a minor flaw in the wood. Other than that. The rifle is way nicer than the marlin lever actions I have seen lately.
