Our Assessment: As paraphrased from the Uberti website: “Tyler Henry of New Haven Arms Company designed the Model 1860 just in time for the Civil War. Only 1,700 of these repeating rifles were issued to Union troops, but the rifle’s reputation quickly grew. Southerners dubbed it “that tarnation Yankee rifle that they load on Sunday and shoot all week”. The Henry was also used in the fight at Little BigHorn. Unfortunately for Custer, all the Henry’s used were by Indians.” With its 24 1/4” barrel, this rifle is great for those Cowboy Action team events where you have to split a log or knock down 50 targets. It is a throwback to the original, but in a much more practical (and affordable) caliber. Please see our photos and good luck! – L.S.
