not accurate as the barrel registration mechanism does not hold up to the shock of the heavy round. It could be fixed by a good gun smith with some real effort and brazing. Some day, maybe.
I bought a Henry Big Boy in .44 to hunt deer here in OH. I loved how the gun looked, but it was awful in the accuracy department. So much so that I sold it and went back to using a shotgun.
