That one already come with the XS rail and extra round capacity.

The Dark has a 16.25” barrel. The X model looks like it has an 18” barrel. If so, it would develop slightly higher velocities. Also, I don’t believe there’s a substantial handiness penalty for the 1.75” longer barrel.

XS Sight Systems makes a rail for Marlins. I have one on my 336BL. I’d be surprised if they weren’t working on one to fit Henrys.

Looks like Henry already has a picatinny rail for Big Boy rifles

Now if the rifles would actually show up somewhere so I can buy one!

Well there you go!

I’d consider the Big Boy X as an adjunct to my TRR8 .357 mag revolver, but I’m REALLY waiting for them to bring out a blued version of the .30-30 side-loader. Still waiting.....
