I've always wanted a .44 mag, a Henry would be just fine or a Winchester, I've never felt quite as strongly about the Marlins unless it was a really good deal. I don't care much for this "tactical" version though, I'd much rather the more traditional blue and wood Henry.

I'll probably never buy one though, my interest just doesn't reach the $700 plus threshold, and I have no practical use for it. That's true of a lot of what I own though.

This one really interests me in .38/.357 to shoot with coated bullets. I just wish they'd went with 1/2x28 threads instead of 5/8x24, so I didn't have to buy another adapter. :(

I used to have their Big Boy Steel in 357. Most of what I ran through it was coated lead. I bought one of their receiver rails and mounted a TRS-25. That rifle was surprisingly accurate. (I guess it really shouldn't have been a surprise when considering the price.)

I just couldn't get past the tube loading. I found the reloading process to be awkward.

Another reason this new one will be popular, with the addition of a side loading gate.

I had just finally quelled my “urge” to get another PCC lever gun, and then Henry bursts in like “but wait, there’s more!” All Billy Mayes style and get me hooked again. Well played Henry, well played.

I like that! Might have to get serious about getting a trifecta.
I have a .44 mag pistol, and a .44 mag semi auto so a lever gun in the same caliber would only make sense.
I have been building several "trifecta's" in the last few years, as in a double action, single action and lever action of same chambering/caliber...so far I have full sets of 45 colt, 44, 41 and only need a SA 357 to have it done...
