A 12 gauge with slugs would be a suitable substitute and way more versatile until you find what you like. And I would stick with Marlin/Ruger for the rifle. ----------------------------------------- Roll Tide! Glock Certified Armorer NRA Certified Firearms Instructor | |||

I almost bought the Chiappa takedown for $1800. It so handy and short and the wood is gorgeous! I ended up being practical and ordered the H010G Henry in blued steel for $929. It will serve me well and I will never lose money on it if I sell it in Alaska. If I come across a Ruger/Marlin Guide or Trapper, later, I can always sell the Henry.

I contacted Henry directly. They said their rifle can handle any load that is safe to shoot in any modern gun. Brass and steel, both. We will be testing their lifetime guarantee.

You'll be please with the Henry up here - I've had the stainless all weather wood one running any load I can stuff in it since they first came out and no problems. It's put a few moose in the freezer. I upgraded with some Skinner sights and it now rides around as the camp gun in the side by side/etc. I liked it so much, I picked up the newer side gate blue steel gun with threaded barrel so I could run a suppressor on it, as well as a Leupold red dot on top. Truthfully, I haven't wrung it out yet but, if it's on par with the earlier stainless gun, I will get my money out of it. Great guns! | |||

Yes! Skinner sights with the rail and a red dot are in the works. Bruce "The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told.

Last second change! My Henry showed up the same day I found a Remlin GBL at a LGS, on consignment. $1050 with reloading dies, 4 boxes of ammo, manual and case. It's been shot a bit but I have no concerns about wearing out a 45-70. I'm just glad someone else broke it in! Now, to clean it and try it out!
