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.


Forgot to mention that I shot a Henry in 45-70 last week at the local
range, a new firearm the owner just got. I think he said he was shooting
300 grain handloads. I don't know how the recoil of that gun and those
loads would compare to a .308, though. The Henry's recoil was heavier
than my .357MAG lever gun, but it wasn't bothersome.
