The .45-70 Government caliber has long been a stalwart in the realm of American firearms, tracing its roots back to military use on the battlefields of the 1870s. Even today, it maintains its revered status among hunters and shooting enthusiasts across North America. When tasked with delivering substantial firepower downrange, few names resonate as strongly as Henry.
Enter the Henry Steel Lever Action .45-70 Side Gate—a modern masterpiece that embodies over a century's worth of evolution in lever-action rifle design. This firearm is engineered for those who demand reliability and power from their weaponry when pursuing large game such as deer, bear, hogs, moose, or elk within 100 yards.
The specifications speak volumes: chambered for .45-70 Govt., this rifle boasts an 18.43-inch round blued steel barrel with a rate of twist set at 1:20 inches—ideal for stabilizing heavy projectiles during flight. Its overall length measures at a compact yet sturdy 37.5 inches while maintaining manageable weight at just over seven pounds (7.08 lbs.).
Aesthetically pleasing yet ruggedly functional, the receiver is finished in blued steel complemented by an American Walnut stock that promises durability and classic beauty alike. The black ventilated rubber recoil pad ensures comfort against shoulder fatigue after repeated firing sessions.
For aiming precision under various conditions—be it dense woods or open plains—the rear sight features fully adjustable semi-buckhorn capabilities with a diamond insert paired alongside a brass bead front sight; both are designed to enhance target acquisition speed without compromising accuracy.
This model offers scopeability through drilled and tapped provisions compatible with Weaver 63B mounts should you opt for enhanced optical assistance beyond iron sights alone.
