I've had the old 45-70 in for 6 or 8 months now and here's what I've found: Pros: -for a 45-70 it shoots softly due to weight -accepts Weaver 63B mounts -More accurate than I expected -smooth lever function -the receiver and wood are beautifully finished Cons: -IMO, if you want to reach out accurately you will need an optic due to the factory sights.

Re sights. "You" may need optics. I do now. But when I was younger I didn't. Sight configuration is a highly subjective area.
I've seen benchrest guys do things with iron sights that most can't do with the best optics and a solid machine rest. |

The receiver colors in the pic are better than the Turnbull pics I've seen. The only thing I have against the Henry is the lack of loading gate. My Marlin 39 (no A) has the same handicap. Great guns otherwise.
