Henry Rifle Forums

Been waiting a while to check one of these out - they have been hard to find. The LGS got this one in yesterday. After looking it over, decided I better not let go of it. It has that typical Henry quality, beautiful wood, and "solid" feel, plus there is just something about a color-cased receiver and octagon barrel that is hard to resist. So it came home with us. Here is a pic of it fresh out of the box: We'll clean it up and add a Skinner Express rear and Lyman Globe front (from PT7 who is selling his old sights off a 357 BBS that he got rid of) and then sight it in at 25 yds - more to follow...

Congrats, TT! That is BEEEYOOOTIFULLL!! To me, the CCH has it all: checkered stocks, octagon barrel, sling studs, the fantastic CCH receiver. The large loop on the carbine is absolutely a bonus!
Can't wait to hear how it shoots for you with PT7's Skinner set-up; a real win/win there, huh?
Good for you!

Yes. Henrys are nice. I lightly oiled the fire control area in my Marlin and Henry this afternoon (both 30-30s). I could not help but notice how smooth the Henry was (cycled a few dummy rounds). The trigger feel was fluid. Now, I thinking about getting a Big Boy Silver. The different receivers seem to speak to you.

Oh man that’s gorgous! Congratulations! Please do a range report on it if you get time.

beautiful rifle .... if I was to buy another Henry today, I'd want a color case hardened model

Been lookin at those also Tad. Been watchin online but there pricey so far. Hopefully they will come down some. Did they have the full size one there also. I see online there is like only 4 ounces weight difference.

Very nice looking rifle!

Color me jealous! I really wanted one of those but decided to “settle” for the BBS .357 Carbine. Since I wanted it as a bush gun, and for hunting, it’s probably best that I didn’t get the CCH. I’d be afraid to take it out!

I didn't see any full size CCH Bigboys, but they did have a nice 357Mag Single-shot. I didn't ask to handle it because I was afraid that one would want to come home with me, too - These things are addictive....

Seems to be a lack of “to follow” here. Did you get the sights mounted? What did you do with the rear dovetail slot? I actually am revisiting the whole CCH thing as I may sell my 1895GS .45-70 and replace it with a .44 mag. I emailed Henry to ask if they would do a special order with no rear dovetail. I’ll let you guys know the response.

It's a beauty,congratulations.
