It would be nice to have this option in other calibers....

good article .... it pretty well matches what we have found with our CCH 45-70 .... a while back it was reported that Henry was taking a look at adding more calibers in their CCH line but I haven't seen/heard anything lately

I will be trading my remlin in for one of these!

I have one and my close friend bought one after seeing mine. I love it and I own Marlins also. But this CCH blows the Marlins in the weeds as far as I am concerned. Even if it tube feeds rather than has a loading gate. Al

in rereading the article, on line jumped out that I didn't notice earlier .... "you step up to the heaviest .45-70 loads. Then the thick rubber butt pad is a genuine blessing — although I dream of equipping the Color Case Hardened Edition rifle with a matching steel butt plate." .... that's not a dream, that's a nightmare ..

Im dreaming of a CCH in 38-55 Jim

I've strongly considered sending our Henry BBS 44 Mag out to have it color case hardened

I'll bet that recoil pad is worth it's weight in gold. My only complaint with my brass 45/70 is the hard buttplate. I now use a wearable pad.

Nice write up!

Some Henry's are hard to get as it is. I don't mind the loading gate naysayers. Each one is one less person between me and a new Henry!

Had to laugh at the North America comment. Teddy was taking Big African game with a 45/70 over 100 years ago! Loaded with black powder. Doesn't mean it's the best choice. But there are worse choices.
