The Henry Lever Action Golden Boy is a testament to the enduring appeal of classic Western-style firearms. This lever-action rifle, chambered in .22 S/L/LR, offers a harmonious blend of performance and aesthetic charm that sets it apart in today's market. Its popularity stems from its exceptional shooting capabilities, striking appearance, and remarkable affordability—costing about half as much as similar rifles.
With an overall length of 38.5 inches and weighing in at 6.75 pounds, this rifle balances well for both target practice and hunting excursions. The octagonal blued steel barrel measures 20 inches long with a rate of twist set at 1:16 for optimal accuracy with rimfire rounds.
The Golden Boy's capacity is impressive: it holds up to 16 rounds of .22 LR or an astounding 21 rounds when using .22 Short ammunition. This makes it not only practical but also versatile across various shooting disciplines.
Aesthetically pleasing details abound on this rifle. It features a Brasslite receiver complemented by a brass buttplate—a nod to traditional craftsmanship—and paired elegantly with an American Walnut stock that speaks volumes about quality materials.
Sighting solutions are equally refined; the adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight includes a diamond insert for precision adjustments while the front sight boasts a brass bead for quick target acquisition under varying light conditions.
For those inclined towards optics enhancement, the receiver comes drilled and tapped ready for scope mounting using Henry’s GB-CSM item # HGBCSM mount type—although many will find its iron sights more than sufficient given their adjustability and clarity.
