    Henry Big Boy vs Carbine

    I’m looking to get a lever action 44 mag, but I’m torn between the Big Boy and the Carbine versions.

    For anybody that owns or has shot them, is there a big difference in accuracy between them? I want to stick with the iron sights, so realistically I wouldn’t be shooting much over 100yds.

    I’ve tried searching the forum and online, but I can’t find much if anything talking about accuracy between the two versions.

    Any real world experiences anyone can share?

    Also, Happy Thanksgiving y’all!

    The carbine has a 16.5 inch barrel
    The BB a 20 inch
    1lbs weight difference
    I personally like a longer sight plane and balance
    We had a .41 mag carbine

      The difference in accuracy would probably only be in the shooter. The sights being farther apart might make a difference but I doubt it.

        Really like my Big Boy .41 mag with the 20".
        I would look down each if you could to see how your eyes like the sights.

          I didn't get a chance to look at them in person since I can't find any around me, but I ended up ordering the carbine online. I'm planning on sticking with the irons sights, so I assume that other than sight picture the 3.5" difference in barrel length shouldn't make a whole lot of difference for 100yd and under shots.
