New Henry 41 Mag initial review

[osteodoc08]

I received my Henry Big Boy in 41 Mag today. It is shipped in a cardboard box. The gun itself is heavily oiled and wrapped in VCI paper. It comes with an owners manual and that's all I found in the box.

The bluing is an even black blue color but the metal finish is a bit rough. A little more polishing would have been nice to see at this price point. The walnut was a nice straight grain and the finish was evenly applied and a satin type finish. The wood is fitted good. Not very good or excellent. Just good. Proud in all areas and gaps fitted well.

The action was a little stiff. It smoothed up with a few hundred dry cycles. The level had a little more side to side play than the Marlins and Winchesters I've handled in the past. The sights were composed of a brass bead on the front and semi buckhorn in the rear with a stamped steel elevator. The receiver is drilled and tapped for bases. The filler screws were proud and quite rough.

The gun is advertised as 10+1. With loads housing a 210 XTP, 10 in the tube leaves a bit of room, however, if loading anything else longer, 9 is all I could fit. The gun cycled all my loads except the 265 LFNGC. The nose of the bullet would jam at the 12 o'clock position as it attempted to chamber. Traditional 410459 cycled without issue same with all the WFN varieties from the group buys here.

Its been raining here so I shot from
my basement out into the woods as a function check. I shot a total of 27 rounds and they all cycled, went bang and ejected just fine. No accuracy testing this time out.

While I applaud Henry for bringing out a 41 Mag in a lever gun, I find the Marlins and Winchesters overall to be better fit and finished. I give this gun a grade of "B-". It should have been better finished overall and id like to see something other than stamped steel parts for the elevator and lifter.

My intention is to put a low powered scope on it and see what it can do at 50, 75, and 100 yards.

[Clay M]

Your assessment is about what I though of the rifle.
My dealer has gone totally crazy with his pricing on all guns.
Guess I have to divorce him after thirty five years and move on.

[Mica_Hiebert]

Thank you for the review. Sounds a little dissapointing... maybe acceptable if it where closer to a $400 dollar price point.

[osteodoc08]

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm disappointed. Just trying to give a fair and unbiased review. If they would have polished out the metalwork a little more, I'd of been a very happy camper. It is definitely utilitarian. I'm very happy to have a 41 lever back in the stable.

[jonp]

Do you have any other Henrys to compare the fit and finish to? Im wondering if the demand caught henry off guard and they are rushing the first run to market. The only henry ive owned was a 22mag and the fit and finish was top rate

[tim338]

On all the Henery rifles I have handled I have been satisfied with their quality. Some even have really nice wood. Agreed they are a little pricey but being 100% American made with 100% American parts I am alright with that.

[Edster]

I would take your exact write up and send it to Mr. Imperato. I think you might be very surprised by his response. Henry has a tendency to attempt to make their customers happy.

[osteodoc08]

I don't have any other Henry's to compare it to, however, have many other makes and models to compare it to, including its competition. When I get time, I will try to upload some photos.

[Bulldogger]

I second the suggestion to write Mr. Imperato. All you have to do is submit a comment/complaint through the Henry website, he reads them personally. He responded to a question from me about a rifle I bought and wasn't happy with. He read my self-diagnosis and sent me a replacement part post-paid immediately. In my experience Henry practice good old-fashioned customer service.

The finish of the Big Boy Steel in other calibers is as osteodoc08 described.

I've never fired a Henry in any CF caliber; just 22 RF. One question that pops up based on your statement of 41 Marlins and "Winchesters". I've never seen or even heard of a Winchester in 41. I've owned most all the Marlin variations. Tell me; please, about the Winchester 41, I'd like to look at one. Thanks

Guesser, there was never a Winchester in 41 Mag, but I've handled and shot several in other common calibers for the 92 model. It was more of a general statement than specific caliber.

My favorite was my Marlin CCL I had to let go. I sold it to a member here a few years ago.

[northmn]

The thing about the Henry's is that they are available in calibers many want. While they may tend to be spendy you can get one. I have heard that Marlin 94's in 357 bring ridiculous prices as Marlin does not make new ones or only occaisonally and finding a 357 is rather difficult. The 41 was a short run for Marlin Henry's are also are scope friendly for those that like or need scopes. Try to find another brand of 41.

[Clay M]

When I though of spending $800 , there were a lot of things I would rather have.
Rock River is running an 18% off sale on all complete uppers ,so I decided to get a 20" Varmint in .223 Wylde...:)

I may still get a Henry later if I find one at a more reasonable price.

[blueline541]

Mine will be here first thing next week, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. After watching the Marlin .41s skyrocket in price, I'm more than happy to drop $800 on a lever gun in .41 Magnum. Add to it that it is 100% made in America and it has superb customer support and I can't be any happier about it.

[W.E.G.]

I really want one of these rifles. I won't pay the $840 that people-who-have-to-have-it-now are paying on Gunbroker. There is no reason the .41 should cost one penny more than the .44

When the prices come down to earth, I'll probably pick one up for the same reason as the OP. Shooter-gun with 1-5x scope. Just to have fun at the range, and as a "companinon" (yes, I know - how quaint) to my .41 wheelguns.

I think these pistol-caliber rifles are just the ticket when you get stuck shooting rifle on a pistol range.


If I hunt deer, I'm still going to use my 30-06. Even shot through the heart, deer just like to run when I shoot them. I want a big exit wound, no matter what angle I shoot them from.

...and maybe this will light a fire under Marlin to re-issue the .41

[Clay M]

I would think there is a huge dealer mark up on these guns at $800.
I saw a nice Marlin lever gun in Wal Mart yesterday. It was $569
The fit and finish was far superior to the Henry.
I am not so sure I want a .41 mag that bad.
In fact I am sure I do not.
I already have my dads vintage Marlin 336 in .44 magnum

[BigAl52]

Be a cold day in H*ll for I buy another Remlin. Last one I bought went to Cortez,Co and money later it came back and would actually function with 357 and 38 special like it was suppose to. According to Mic McPherson it should have not ever left the factory. Al

[osteodoc08]

Initial range impression was quite favorable. I put 200 rounds down range. Loads as follows:

Lyman 410459 with 7.5gr 231
MP 413640 Penta with 16.3gr #9
TrueShot 265gr LFN with 20.5gr LilGun
Hdy XTP 210gr with 22gr LilGun

Best accuracy was with the XTP, closely followed by the MP then the other two about equal. All actually really good. It was quite cool
and windy today.

I shot with iron at 17 yards and 40 yards.

161945

17 yards starting from top and going clockwise XTP, MP, Lyman

161947

40 yards XTP

161948

A nine hundred after taxes grade B.
That's disheartening.

It was mostly cosmetic that I gave it a grade of B, the accuracy was quite nice.

For reference. A Miroku Browning 1886 would have earned an A. Marlin would have been a B for me as well if it makes you feel any better.

[lightload]

I have the very expensive Henry factory mount that will fit your rifle. If you plan to scope your rifle only for load development and then go back to iron sights, you may borrow my mount. The Henry stock has so much drop that scope use(for me)is not feasible. The mount itself is thick which makes the problem worse. You can mail it back when you finish.

[ko41]

I have the Henry mount and a scope waiting for my rifle.....hope it shows up soon.

The extra height of the mount definitely isn't needed for the BB steel, may be better off buying a piece of Weaver rail and drilling it to match to hole spacing of the Henry.

If the scope doesn't work out for me, the Henry will get a Skinner sight like my Marlins have.

Got my Henry yesterday. Weather was too nasty to do much more than a quick function test. I'm happy to say that the Lyman 410459 220gr. SWC feeds without any problems. Photos and accuracy test results to follow.
Kjergaard Sports in SW Minnesota has the .41 Henrys in stock for $689. Mine was inspected and boxed at Henry on February 29th.

Lyman 410459 220gr SWC sized .410, 8.1gr Unique, 1.695" OAL. This is my favorite cast boolit for the .41 Mag, and it feeds through the Henry smooth as can be, plus it is showing it has the potential to be pretty accurate too. With my Marlins you have to wiggle and jiggle the lever and hold the rifle just so to get the 410459 to feed and the accuracy is abysmal.

Fit and finish is a bit of a mixture. The wood is nice grained walnut, not fancy, but nice with a smooth satin finish. The receiver is a uniform non-glare satin black. Now, the barrel and magazine tube could have used a little more attention though, it looks like they stopped polishing at 150 grit.
Trigger pull averages 5lbs. 3oz with about 1/16" of gritty creep.

I got one coming in the next week or so . I see some are using the factory scope mount . Are you able to keep a good cheek weld on the stock ? I seen posted that some find the factory mount too high . Guess I could get a blank Weaver rail & make a mount .

It's more of a chin weld instead of cheek weld.

The mounts do like high for me. Are there any other mount options? I guess by a Weaver blank and drill it .

I won an Mossberg o/u in a raffle and subbed a Henry steel .357 plus cash(dealer charged $700. for the Henry). I would second the OP's evaluation. I was very disappointed in the barrel finish, looked like it was taken off the lathe and blued! Mine had ejector problems(very weak,some didn't clear) and if it had shot better I would have had Henry correct it. The gun was not as accurate as my two Rossi's but not inaccurate so I sold it. I had hoped it would shoot well due to my experience with their .22's but it was not to be. Also the Henry is about a pound heavier than comparable 92's.

[ko41]

Loaded up some Laser Cast .412 215gr SWC. Starting with a freshly cleaned bore, I took a couple of fouling shots, then first shot on paper hit almost dead center...COOL!.. then rest was not so cool.

From 50 yards I would think I would be able to keep most shots within the 8 ring.
Majority of the spread is vertical, what would cause that?
So...is it the rifle, bullet/load selection, scope or operator?

KO

[ko41]

I was going to try the Ranch Dog TL411-255 that was designed for the Marlin 1894 .41 Magnum, but it does not chamber in the Henry.

[runfiverun]

the ranch dog molds are designed to combat the marlin gap.
notice the nose it's there to get across that gap and align the boolit with the barrel.

severe vertical stringing is generally caused by velocity variations.
in this case I would say it is the barrel getting a layer of lube built up then the group shifted to where it should be. [I have seen it take over 11 shots to move lube down a barrel to the muzzle and even it out to a consistent C.O.R.E. condition]
I'd say the higher ones are the fouling shots and the bottom bunch is your actual group.
if a lever rifle has a major problem [bedding or inconsistent placement of the front rest] it tends to wander off at angles.

Velocity variations can also be caused by inconsistent or inappropriate crimp or a powder that's not optimal for the situation. I'm a hard-headed German so I'd piddle a bit longer with your load, ko41. I think it shows a bit of promise.

[jjnpg317]

Got one on Monday. Slugged the bore twice and both times was .4105. 410459 sized at .4115 would chamber but 41032 sized .4115 had trouble with when chambering. Hornady 210 HP chambered easily. Does the 41028 have same profile as Hornady jacketed round ?

[triggerpull]

I think your review is pretty accurate. I bought one back in late January when Davidson had a few to sell to vendors. I paid $800.00 for mine--a premium for "gotta have one in 41 mag" IMO. The gun is beautiful--but mine has continuous issues with screws coming loose after each shooting session. The anodizing on the metal comes off very easily with little abrasion--the trigger pull is a pretty heavy though I expect that to ease up with use. Accuracy is acceptable--but by comparison my cheaper rossi 44 mag 16" carbine will group better at 100--at least so far. If this were any caliber other than 41 mag--I would say this a $650ish quality value gun.

[cherokeetracker]

This has had great report and pics. I found a 41 Henry at the LGS ( on Friday 8th) and was actually impressed with the fit and finish. I am still not used to the utilitarian Blue Black finish on several lever guns we have nowadays. But the gun looked better than my Rossi 92. I had been wanting one of these and was excited till I found the price of 850 plus tax. That was going to put me out the door above 920.00 Whoa I just politely handed it back and decided to give this a little time.

If anyone is looking for Lyman mold 41028 , look at Accurate Mold's 41-210A. Of the two boolits ko41 has posted from his molds, the 212 grain one resembles the 41-210A the most to me. In a Marlin 1894 44 Magnum, the RNFD shoots the best when sized larger and I'm hoping 41-210A does the same in Henry.

[ko41]

I was able to get out and try some more of the 212gr Lyman 41028. Things are starting to come around. The Henry sure is a smooth functioning lever action but it still needs a trigger job.
50 yard Target, there are 11 shots in that one cluster.

Any news on your 41, OP?


Just been shooting my fun loads out of it with some 255gr WFNGC loaded up got
with LilGun and 296. Makes it a real
thumper. I haven't done anything to it but shoot it. Several hundred rounds down range now. I never did get it scoped as I've had too many projects going on and everyday I'm off I've got other more pressing things to take care of around the house.

I do really like it. It's no CCL, but will do until Marlin makes a new batch of them.

[TUG]

Guesser, there was never a Winchester in 41 Mag, but I've handled and shot several in other common calibers for the 92 model. It was more of a general statement than specific caliber.

My favorite was my Marlin CCL I had to let go. I sold it to a member here a few years ago.
ive still got it, also just got a new Henry 41 magnum, but mine is not blue its CCH.

Whoa, what?! I didn't know they offered it in CCH. Probably chemical but still. That's kewl

[TUG]

No, not chemical, it's the real deal! To my knowledge there are only 5 of these. The man I bought it from makes his living doing CCH.

So was the Henry from the factory with CCH or send out?

Ive had Turnbull do some CCH on an 1886 and it is gorgeous.

[TUG]

Factory sent the actions to this guy ,he did the CCH, shipped the actions back to Henry, they assembled them and shipped them back to the guy I bought from, it was not Doug Turnbull.

Osteodoc08, I sent you a PM.

[osteodoc08]

Thanks Ronnie.

The CCH is gorgeous. I have a 4 digit OMBH (unadulterated) with a brass frame I've been thinking about getting CCH and making into a BBQ gun.

[TUG]

That OM 41 posted above is going to Alan Harton for a few items,
4" octagon bbl, steel grip frame, OM SBH hammer CCH, belt mountain base pin, and hopefully some ivory stocks.

I decided to take the Henry out last weekend to plink steel from 50 yards. The only plinking ammo I had loaded up was my standard Lyman 410459 220gr SWC over 8.1gr of Unique which had not performed very well in the Henry earlier. After I was clanging the steel with ease offhand I decided to try some groups from the bench. Each successive 9 shot group got a little smaller, and now is getting to what I was expecting for accuracy from the Henry. Maybe the bore and/or shooter is finally getting "seasoned"? :-D :Fire:

Nice looking group. I ended up using mine last year to harvest a small doe at about 75 yards. I was using a 235gr WFN with 4227.
