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.

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.

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.

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.
