The Big Boy Steel Side Gate rifle from Henry is a testament to the enduring appeal of lever-action firearms, marrying traditional elegance with modern functionality. Inspired by B.T. Henry's iconic 1860 design, this model caters to today's discerning hunter who seeks both performance and ease on the trail.
This rifle offers versatility in caliber options: .357 Mag/.38 Special, .44 Mag/.44 Special, and .45 Colt. It features two distinct configurations—a standard version with a 20-inch round barrel or a more compact variant sporting a 16.5-inch barrel paired with an oversized loop lever for easy operation even when wearing gloves in cold weather.
Weighing in at just 7 pounds—1.68 pounds lighter than its brass-framed counterpart—the Big Boy Steel Side Gate maintains agility without sacrificing power or accuracy. Its blued steel receiver complements the fine checkering on the genuine American walnut fore-end and straight-wrist stock, offering both aesthetic beauty and practical grip.
The firearm is equipped with range-adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sights featuring diamond inserts and a brass bead front sight for precise targeting capabilities under various conditions. Modern hunters will appreciate the side loading gate combined with a removable tube magazine system that holds ten rounds in rifles or seven rounds in carbines.
An automatic In-Hammer Transfer Bar Safety Ensures That This Firearm Is As Safe As It Is Reliable While The Black Solid Rubber Recoil Pad Adds Comfort During Extended Sessions Of Target Shooting Or Large Game Hunting Adventures.
