1860 Henry

[RanchRoper]

Try as I may, I could not justify the $3k+ for the H011. Just too much dough for a working guy.

However, I am excited to report that I have a brand new Cimarron 1860 Henry on order in 45 Colt. Should have it the end of April! Check it out:

I am super excited, should be a real nice rifle! All of the reviews on forums, Hickock45, website, etc are great, and I'm buying from the guy who sold me the 1860 SA revolver. He's a Cimarron dealer, gunsmith, and the authorized repair and warranty guy for Cimarron in Alberta. I also PM'd TGR on the forum here and got his $.02 as well, thanks TGR.

I think you made a great choice, congratulations and hope to see the pictures when it arrives.

Nice Rifle RR.

you got to go where you got the support, and being in the great white, this made sense.

It's a proper caliber too; good choice.

hopefully it will serve you well .... looking forward to your coming range reports and comments

Based on what I've read and heard it's a very reliable shooter. The dealer guy also shoots CAS and says they perform well with hard use. Sure hope so, it's not a cheap rifle either!

Now, that is a rifle a cowgirl like me can love. Wow! Speaking of Cimarron, just picked up a very lightly used Cimarron Frontier in 357, made by Pietta that is lovely. Hope to get out and shoot it when the weather warms a bit, at least into the double digits for temps.

Also, as a side note, does this post on other brands than Henry as far as lever guns mean I can post on Marlins and Winchesters and such? Don't want to post something that would be frowned upon on this forum.

Congratulations, RR. It's a beautiful rifle. I'm looking forward to your range reports and pictures.

Thanks folks. I'll order a lined scabbard for it before it arrives so I can pack it horseback too. The Big Boy rifle will get used as well; depends on the day! nice to have a choice, and all the same caliber.

As far as I know, post away!
