327 Federal Magnum/32 H&R Lever Action Rifle - Rampy - 04-06-2025
I know absolutely nothing about the 327 Federal cartridge but am rather invested into the 32 H&R J Frames as my primary carry
Looking at lever action rifles that shoot the 32 H&R and stumbled across the 327 Fed Mag Henry Big Boy Classic
Question is how good of a cartridge out of the lever action rifle is the 327 Fed Mag??
Live in Wyoming, travel across Colorado, Montana, North central Idaho off the beaten path & in some really remote country is the 327 Federal Magnum enough of a caliber with the ability to shoot 32 H&R magnums for fun..

The 327 Fed Mag looks impressive out of a lever action rifle, but without real world experience I’m really hesitant

Finally did taxes and owed more than the cost of a S&W 44 magnum lever action rifle
Really think I’ll go with a 44 mag lever action rifle with some kind of red dot or scout scope

I think the 327 is a great round and would be fantastic from a carbine, but I wouldn't touch a Henry with a 10 foot pole if I had one. I've owned all the major brands of 44 lever guns and the smith and wesson is probably my favorite even with that goofy big loop lever on it.

What’s wrong with Henry??
The big loop on S&W lever action rifles is yuck…want a regular loop
What optic/scope would you recommend for a 44 Mag S&W lever gun? Scout scope, red dot??
this would be what we take to Canada & Alaska when we drive up…..so it needs to be Canadian customs approved 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Henry took an old name and used it to produce American made trash. They are the lever gun equivalent of a Heritage 22 pistol. I had 5 in. row that had to go back to the factory a couple years ago.
I like the Leopold 1-4 for a lever gun if I have to scope it.
