    Henry announcement Cowboy Carbine 30-30/35 Rem/38-55

    Saw a Instagram post Henry unveiling there new H024 Cowboy Carbine in 30-30 , 35 Remington and 38-55. These guys sure know how to separate me from my money.

    38-55 here I come.

    Hopefully they make a steel version
    of this and don’t only offer it in brass.

    Nice! Loading gate is a selling point for me. As is the 38/55. Pretty dang sweet.

    Not bad but for that kind of money I'd send a 336 out to JES have it rebored to 38-55 and be ahead by several hundred bucks.

    I've asked Henry many times - a 32-20. Reply: Not that big a market but in my mind, a perfect calibr fo Cowboy Action and NRA Lever Action Pistol Caliber matches
    Regards

    True, but recoil is temporary and gravity is constant. On Horseback or at the shooting range it wouldn't be a problem at all. Carrying it around hunting would Tire me out I'm afraid LOL.

    KMac,
    Thanks for posting the information.

    7.5 lbs does not seem too heavy ( 1/2 lb more than a Marlin 336 in .35 Rem). The price is a bit high for a gun that will be toted in the woods and get scratched up. Looks about $250-300 more than a Marlin but I suspect it is finished better.

    BTW, I was just curious as I always lusted for a .38/55 I could shoot (as I have two "collector guns"), but I have no real use for one. For hunting the .308 serves me well and for fun shooting the .38/.357 lever actions fill that role with cheap brass.

    Good to see Henry offering these guns and especially in the .38/55. Many here will enjoy it as it is a good cast caliber,
    Don Verna
