Not Ranked
Henry's were only offered in 44 Rimfire originally. The 50-90 Sharps cartridge was far too powerful for the original toggle link action in a Henry. The current Henry BigBoy Rifle is an amalgam of a variety of Lever Actions but is pretty much limited to pistol caliber rounds. They apparently make a 30-30 action that could handle 45-70 I suspect but 50-90 is quite a bit longer and has never been used in a Lever gun.
I have a few 45-70 rifles that are fun to shoot including a Shiloh Sharps and a Trapdoor.
