Henry Big Boy X - Thoughts?
Curious if anyone here has gotten one of these yet.

Been considering a .357 lever gun for a while, but I am not interested in a basic wood/steel "nostalgia gun", it better be able to mount an optic and light so I can actually get some use out of the thing in a pinch if needed.
Previously Marlin seemed to be the only game in town, but apparently they have amazing QC...
I hear good things about Henry though. And this thing seems to check a number of boxes reasonably well.
Still think they could have run the barrel to a full 18" and then run the ammo tube out a little more for some extra capacity... Or cut it to 16" if I'm going to suffer with 7 rounds, but... #boomers 
Other than that...
Anyone have one of these yet? Hows the QC/reliability/accuracy, etc?
Anyone tried mounting a low-profile receiver-top pic rail on one of these, and which rail did you go with?
