Henry H009G Steel Side Gate 30-30 Lever Action Rifle

Henry Lever Action .30-30 Side Gate

For over a century, the .30-30 cartridge has been synonymous with American hunting tradition. Introduced in 1894, it quickly became the go-to choice for medium game hunters across the nation. Designed specifically for lever-action rifles, this cartridge has earned its place as an enduring favorite among sportsmen.

The Henry Lever Action .30-30 Side Gate is meticulously crafted to optimize every ounce of performance from this venerable round. At just seven pounds, this rifle offers a harmonious blend of accuracy and power—enough to bring down even the largest deer while maintaining moderate recoil due to its modest chamber pressure and rubber recoil pad.

This firearm features a 20-inch round barrel that provides an open sight radius ideal for engagements at close to medium ranges. For those who wish to extend their reach further afield, the drilled and tapped receiver allows for easy scope mounting without hindrance from side ejection—a thoughtful design element ensuring spent casings are safely directed away from both your line of sight and any mounted optics. This feature also caters well to left-handed shooters.

The five-shot tube magazine can be conveniently loaded either from the front or by utilizing the side gate—a practical option whether you're dealing with deer or more elusive prey like hogs or coyotes where higher capacity might become essential.

Smooth cycling through its crisp, perfectly machined action permits rapid follow-up shots while preserving your sight picture—a crucial advantage in dynamic hunting scenarios. The rifle's balanced build coupled with a compact overall length of 39 inches makes it exceptionally maneuverable through dense brush and hill country yet equally capable across open plains.

In addition to being a superb hunting companion, this model serves as an adept defensive tool should circumstances demand it—all wrapped up in a classic design that carries none of modern firearms' aggressive connotations.
