I've been wanting a side load 357 mag. lever gun!





Big Boy X Model.45 Colt, .357/.38 Spl, .44 Mag/.44 Spl
Combining Modern Performance with Classic Lever Action Lineage

Creating the mold and then breaking out of it is something that we take great pride in. It’s how we progress and continue pushing the boundaries of what lever actions are capable of. The Big Boy X Model does just that and marks an evolutionary step in a product line with quite the pedigree. Modern hunters and shooters need a robust platform with the versatility to perform several different jobs and the X Model provides it right out of the box.
The Big Boy X-Model is packed with a high-performance feature set and plenty of room to add even more. The durable synthetic furniture is equipped with integrated mounting points for a sling, a solid rubber recoil pad, and both Picatinny and M-Lok accessory slots to aid in mounting the tools you need for the task at hand. The carbine-length barrel is topped off with highly visible fiber optic sights, fore and aft, and the muzzle end is threaded (5/8×24 thread pitch) to accept a suppressor or other muzzle device. A screw-on thread protector ensures your muzzle threads stay in top shape.
Keeping true to our roots the Big Boy X Model utilizes a 7-round removable tube magazine for convenient unloading, and the addition of a side loading gate allows that magazine to be kept topped off without needing to remove the tube or suppressor.
Whether it’s geared up to be your bedside protector, truck gun, deer rifle, or Saturday range day show-off piece, the Big Boy X Model is one rifle capable of many different roles.

the .410 nice idea...but henry's too expensive for my blood?!

 

[Fightingfish]

I picked up the first run of side gates in 30/30 as soon as they came out, and it’s great. I love Henry quality/service, but could never get along with loading through the tube. I need that black one in .357/.38.

 

[MuttCat]

You have got my attention....

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

My buddy bought the 357.

 

[@thewheels]

Make one in 454 Casull and I'm in.

Otherwise I'll stick with Marlin, Rossi and Winchester.

ETA: Tube Loading is lame. Side gate is where it's at.

I like the X model but I like the all weather better. I have been looking to get a Henry in 45-70. I don’t think I have come across the street price of the X yet.

 

[Phauxtoe]

yea i want two things...
1. Lever gun
2. 45/70

this could be it, if i can work out some good peep sights, i know marlin has a gun all set up the way i want it.

MSRP = $970, Im guessing you could get that at your LGS for $600 to $700 bucks, give it a year, let the hysteria die down and then go get a good deal

I bought the RemLin (Remington/Marlin) in 45-70 and I am VERY, VERY happy with it. I put Skinner Alaskan Sites on it, and a Mid-west industries M-Lok for grip, LOVE THE GUN.

slightly off topic I seem to like lever guns...I got my first last christmas a 336 in 30/30 ive been told the 45/70 Govt Kicks pretty good. Just looking to verify that.

Other than that how is the round as Im not familiar with it and wondering if I "need" a 45/70of if im good with everything I hunt (deer yote)

From what I have been told, 45/70 will kill any North American animal, it will certainly kill a deer or a yote

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Pretty cool! I'm glad that Henry now offers the side loading gate. I'm not really a fan of the tube. I would love to get a Henry at some point. I still think I'll be going for another Winchester 94, but this time a pre 64. Just something about the Winchest that does it for me.

The Henry all weather goes for $800-850 online. The plan is to make it a drive rifle, with a red dot of some sort. I had one Remington/marlin 336 in 308mx.....I won’t be buying another.

it's no worse than a 12ga shotgun. and I shoot that all day long at skeet/Trap shoots.

and

as mentioned, it will take out anything on the North American continent, including Polar bears. I have also read that many professional hunters in Africa are moving to the 45-70, it's cheaper to shoot and, at close range will go straight through a water buffalo? is that true??? i got no clue

 

[2WheelGnnr]

Yeah I was just reading up on it and talks about being able to take some pretty big game.. but ok as a 12g is very managable so....

Some of those turkey load though will kill ya just about... but still not preferred but manageable....

if you check on Marlins website, it lists silhouettes of what the cartridge is good for: Bear, deer, hog, and Moose. Now it 'use' to have a silhouette of a T-Rex too, but they seem to have removed that LOL

Never mind, it under the stainless model

Cool..... so my NYS Big Game allows the harvesting of a T-rex.....Going out this weekend look scout for one!!!!

what year did you buy it. there was a 4 or 5 year period where they were made in Japan, I think. the quality absolutely sucked. Some rifles were coming through with the front site, a ¼" off center, absolutely atrocious quality and that where Marlin got a bad rap. When Remington took them over, I heard they obtained Marlins original blue prints and worked off them, Honestly, Im not really sure that true, or even possible.
But I picked up mine from American Sportsman (in E. Rochester) I physically fiddled with it for 20 minutes to make sure it was in perfect condition, I took it to the range and she was dead nuts at 50 yards ~~~ well a 2" group with the stock sights
I love shooting big recoil stuff, I don't know why, I just do

 

[Jaywmustang]

I bought mine at herb Phillipson in Liverpool, it wasn’t long after Remington bought them I think. I had a issue of the action opening up when loaded, it was under tension for some reason. That particular rifle had grouping issues. Marlin did fix the action issue.

Saw that same issue with a Henry. They replaced the rifle rather than repair. The 2nd one had the same issue.

With the action opening up?

 

[@thewheels]

With the action opening up?

Yeah, the action would open and the lever would drop while loading.

I was just reading on the issue. Guess there is a detent in there somewhere and it can get weak.
