I have one and have had for a while. Mine shoots very well. I have read all the reviews stating people dont like the way there made or the price is to high for the quality of the gun. Thats fine to each there own. Theres one thing amoung all of this that you cannot argue. No one else is making a 41 mag lever at this time. So if you want a 41 lever like I did buy one and shoot it. Its still a nice gun and it shoots good. Al

I've had mine for over a month and just finally got to shoot it last weekend. Shoots great, definitely more recoil than my .357. I really like both my Henry's, if I had one complaint it would be the finish on the barrel. I wished it had a nice smooth finish with a higher quality bluing but it's not enough of a problem to ever give them up. Very accurate and smooth action and nice trigger.

BigAl52 Can you give me a little more info on your accuracy with the gun? maybe let me know what you had the best luck with?
My other question is what bullets have you used? Reason I ask, I am wondering just how big you were able to get away with , since we all know there is a limit with lever guns. They have to be able to chamber. I have been looking forward to one of these.

jetinteriorguy I do understand about the recoil, ( greater than the 357) but did the pad not help much? Or was it one of those follow up things?

I shoot a 255gr WFNGC design and it cycles smoother than goose poop on a downhill with wet grass

[jetinteriorguy]

The recoil pad on the .41 is a solid rubber type but the .357 has the softer type with the holes in it. Plus I have really bony shoulders without any extra padding, and I tend to cradle it kind of high so the bottom pointier part of the pad makes the most contact. So for me after 50 rounds of pretty stout magnum loads I can feel it. I need to learn to cradle the whole pad on my shoulder and bring my head down to the sights instead of the sights up to my head.

got it yesterday, looks like it need a good cleaning.

anything special to know about taking these apart?

[BigMagShooter]

it looks good, feels good action is fairly smooth, or smoother than I expected. I see oil dripping inside it everywhere, so I'll de grease it and lube as needed. Should be fun!

I have shot mine approximately 300 times with an Accurate Mold 41-210A RNFP, sized .411, and 14.5 grains of 2400. The gun is accurate and I had no problems at all. I like it !

Good morning
That all sounds good to me. Been watching and waiting a bit more. Average price is $665 now. When they were selling at $750 +++ it was kind of worry some. But the feeding frenzy looks to be slowing and the real price will take over. Should not be any more that a caliber .44 or .45 Colt.
Thanks Doc for posting that the 255 WFNGC works well. That is my goal also... 255-265. If I need more the 336 414SM gets called on.
