Do Henry offer .45-70 in anything?
I only have one Henry, in .22LR, but it doesn't impress me at all. I can't imagine I'd consider buying another Henry. Finish is lovely, fit is atrocious.

Not as well as my JW21 Norinco, unfortunately. I bought it expecting it to be a step upover the Chinese Norinco for silhouette shooting, but was disappointed. I like the Henry feed system over the Winchester design (JW21 is a licenced copy of the Winchester 9422), but prefer the Norinco in all practical aspects. It's possible I own the best Norinco and the worst Henry ever produced, but I think both are just run-of-the-mill samples. The Norinco still impresses me every time I shoot it. My neighbour has a 9422M he bought as a kid. We stripped it for cleaning as he had never had it apart, it's identical inside compared to the JW21.
