So if you don't receive The Blue Press, you're missing out. My latest has a new Model 92 that looks like the real bomb and is on my "want bad" list. Check it out at skinnersights.com , it's called the Bush Pilot and I definitely want one.

Pap,

Here's the Bush Pilot Survival Kit. It says its a takedown 44 Mag. Pretty nice setup.

That, is the ultimate survival setup, except substitute a Randall Model 5-5 Bradford Angler for their knife. With shot shells and power 44 mag loads, it could be one of the best, especially for Bush pilots.

Pap,

I have a 92 takedown in 44-40. It is a great rifle. Mine is a Winchester factory takedown. The 44 magnum would be even better, as the cartridge is easier to find. The takedowns are easy to pack, and my 44-40 leaves big holes in mule deer.

Not that I wouldn't want an original '92 take down 44-40, but I wouldn't want to use it anymore. This new one makes that step with a 44 mag or 357 mag in stainless and makes a lot more sense to pack around and no worries about messing up an antique Winchester. That's what impressed me

Years ago (many) I acquired a Winchester Model 92,octoganal barrel,take down in 32-20.

Before leaving for 'Nam,I shipped it off to P.O.Ackley in Salt Lake City for him to do a reblue,put in his own barrel 16 inch and convert it to .357,install a Wiliams peep sight.


It took more than a year before the rifle was shipped back.

Looks like that new survival package is perfect,with of course,the addition of a Randall Knife.


I have several Skinner sights on my Henry rifles and they are the best.

Agree, but it needs a walnut handle to match the stock.

.44 mag and/or.357 sounds like what I need to carry on my 4-wheeler for hogs.

It would certainly be an upgrade over my .30-30 or my mini 14.

Wayne, what flavors do you have in your Henrys? And, how do you like yours? I've looking at those also.

Coach,
I have several Henry rifles,two are 22lr lever actions one being a Golden Boy,Survival rifle,22lr Mares Leg and the late wife had a youth model single shot,and a pump 22lr

She used to shoot stationary clay pigeons on the back berm 50 yds away and connected all the time.

I found that all the Henry rifles are excellent.

Their customer service is #1 as when I purchased the pump 22,after about a box of rounds in jammed up solidly. I made sure the weapon was empty and shipped it to the Bayonne facility.

A few days later it was returned to me with a letter & E Mail and phone call apologizing for the problem.


I told them things can happen with anything mechanical and that there was no problem.

If you send an e-mail to the company,it will be Mr.Imperato who will answer you even on a Sunday.

I guess by now you know that I do like the Henry rifle products,just take a look at their customer testimonials.

Thanks Wayne:
I have a 3 or 4 year old Henry catalogue that I look at frequently. I’ve always admired those rifles but I wondered if they might be too pretty to actually use.

If I decide to do it, I would want a .44 mag in either their “Big Boy” or “All Weather”. I think that a .44 mag might be the ticket to drop a 300lb. hog in his tracks.

I currently mostly use my mini 14 loaded with Hornady Critical Defense. I have used Remington Hog Hammer and it is good also.

.223 is just not enough to drop the biguns unless it’s a head shot. I’m sure they eventually die, but I would rather it be on the spot.

By the way, Henry has a “Survival Kit” on their website also.

Thanks for the info,
Coach
