New Henry Big Boy steel frame
Well my next gun purchase is going to be the Henry H012 Big Boy steel frame in .357. I've been hoping they would come out with a pistol caliber lever action that doesn't weigh a ton and Henry delivered. I checked it out at the fun store and the H012 is really sharp, I would take it over a late model Marlin or Winchester for sure. I contacted Henry asking about twist, groove size, and the scope mount hole spacing. They responded less than 24 hours later:
Thank you for your interest in Henry. The rate of twist is 1:16, the groove dia. Is .354 +/- .0015 and the bore dia. is .345 +/- .0015. The holes drilled on the top are not the same as a marlin hole spacing. If you are looking for a good aftermarket rear sight for it check outwww.skinnersights.com
Looks like standard .357 boolits might be a winner, which is good news because that is what I size all my .38's to. I bet the H012 will really like the new Lee C358-200-RF. I'm saving for one, already have a special envelope started!
