The Henry Golden Boy is a masterpiece of fine crafted gunsmithing. Any shooting enthusiast who closely examines one is immediately impressed with the excellent fit, finish and overall visually elegant design. It features a blued octagonal barrel, American walnut stock, brass buttplate, with a gleaming Brasslite receiver and barrel band. The classic styling will transport you back to the wild and wooley days of America's Old West, when company founder Benjamin Tyler Henry designed the original Henry lever action rifle. Adding to the historic authenticity is the adjustable buckhorn-type rear sight. Small game hunters and plinkers will appreciate its substantial 6.75 lb. heft. It balances well and makes for highly accurate offhand shooting. The smooth action associated with Henry rifles opens and shuts with the effortless slickness, and left-handed shooters can safely use any of Henry's lever action rifles.
