Ok gentlemen I have decided to try to add a Henry in .327 to my collection of .327 and .32 H&R magnum revolvers. However as this is a harder to find rifle I want to avoid just buying whichever model I come across for fear of never getting one. So I come to you all looking for advice on which of the various models you would hold out for and why. The models available from Henry are as far as I can tell the following:
Classic -20” barrel, 10 round capacity, Overall length 38.5”, weight 8.6lbs
Carbine -16.5” barrel, 7 round capacity, Overal length 35”, weight 7.7lbs
Both models seem to have been made in both steel and brass.
How I intend to use the rifle:
1: This will be a field gun used in forested areas where the biggest game is deer.
2: It will be paired with my Ruger Lipsey GP100 while I am out in the field.
3: I will primarily be using American Eagle .327 100 grain ammunition with it as I acquired a large stash of it when I got my GP100
4: I will not be backpacking/hiking/deep wilderness traveling on foot with this, it will be used on 100 acre max lots that have access to cabins and good trails.
5: Heavy snow and mud are seasonal factors.
6:There is no intention to use this as a home defense or other two legged critter situation.
7: There will be opportunities to enjoy outdoor ranges with 100 and 200 yard stations.
Any advice and experience with .327 out of a rifle platform would be greatly appreciated.
