I've not had much luck with levers, but despite the $1000 MSRP, the features--modern sights, polymer furniture, side loading gate (Henry is finally coming into the latter 19th century on that), rails, threaded barrels, glove-compatible lever loop--make it very competitive in the soon-to-be-fudd-only arms race in this post-Election Steal time
Of course, people should stick to the common calibers--no .44s. The .45-70 isn't exactly common, either, but might TECHNICALLY squeak in as "45" honorific of the last legitimate President of the United States, Donald J.Trump. But please, think three times before choosing that caliber, then think again. If you aren't already heavily invested in .45-70... Think a fifth time. CAVEAT: Also consider the issue with FMJ ammo. Rounded-tip rounds can create chainfires in a tubular magazine, even as pointed rounds can.
