A friend has a stainless cva 45/70.
Comparing it to my H&R 444, it
seems clunkier putting it to my
shoulder. Maybe just perception,
I don't know. Might be sturdier
heavier material. Don't know about
that either. Mine shoots as well
as many other rifles I've shot of
different actions, and I've killed
a good many deer and swine with
it at one round each expended.
I don't know the stats for his, or
if he's even tried to hunt with it.
Henrys are good looking, and
well built ( according to those
I know that have one)
I'm not fond of the "beavertail"
barrel latch lever after using the
H&R/NEF thumb lever for so
many years. It doesn't drive
back into the web of my hand.
Also, those few I know with a
Henry say that it's heavy and
unwieldy after toting it for a
few hours. ( no experience
with that myself)
Even Dave Canterbury says that
" carrying a Henry is like carrying
a brick "
Everybody's different
