Supposed to be in production later this year, a Henry lever action rifle
in .308 (and several other calibers) with a box magazine instead of a
tube magazine. Why? Because you really don't want a tubular magazine
with "pointy" bullets.

Prototypes on display at major shows.

Strange hybrid I suppose.
I doubt you will like the recoil of a .308 in a locked breech gun
which is that light.


No kidding. My .30-.30 is a beast. My 12ga is easier on the shoulder!


Took the Mosin Nagant to the range this past week. Put 20 rounds through it. Yes, my shoulder was a
bit sore, and I was holding that stock very tightly against it.
