Henry Big Boy All Weather .44 Magnum Lever Action Rifle - H012GAW

The Henry Big Boy All Weather .44 Magnum lever action rifle is a rugged, dependable repeater built for hunters and shooters who want genuine stopping power in a classic platform. Chambered in .44 Magnum (and compatible with .44 Special), this rifle combines the smooth, fast handling of a lever gun with hard-chromed steel construction designed to withstand weather, rough use, and decades of shooting. At 7 pounds and 37.5 inches overall, it's handy enough for thick brush yet substantial enough to shoot accurately at distance—a real working rifle, not a safe queen.

The 20-inch barrel wears a hard chrome satin finish that resists corrosion, while the stained hardwood furniture and industrial-grade coating on the stocks add durability without fuss. A transfer bar safety keeps the gun secure while allowing fast access to the trigger. The fully adjustable rear semi-buckhorn sight with diamond insert and brass bead front sight are set up for hunting right out of the box, and the drilled and tapped receiver accepts the included scope base for hunters who want optics. Ten-round capacity feeds fast, making this rifle equally at home hunting big game or spending a long afternoon at the range.

Henry's side-gate loading design means you can top off the magazine without unloading the rifle, a practical feature that speeds up reloading in the field. Swivel studs are drilled and fitted for quick-detach slings, and the solid rubber recoil pad tames the .44's kick. Whether you're drawn to the .44 Magnum's legendary versatility—handgun-to-rifle power transition, deer to larger game, hunting to hard-use scenarios—or you simply want a lever gun that shrugs off weather and keeps running, the Henry Big Boy All Weather deserves a close look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount a scope on the Henry Big Boy All Weather .44 Magnum?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and the rifle includes the BB-RSM scope base. You'll need to supply your own rings and optic, sized to fit your hunting or shooting needs.

What's the difference between .44 Magnum and .44 Special, and which does this rifle shoot?

This rifle is chambered in .44 Magnum and is also compatible with .44 Special ammunition. The .44 Magnum is the hotter load and is commonly used for hunting; the .44 Special is a milder, lower-pressure round. Both will function in this rifle, though you should always verify your ammunition matches the rifle's marked caliber.

Is the Henry Big Boy suitable for hunting larger game?

The .44 Magnum is a proven large-game cartridge. This rifle, with its 20-inch barrel, fully adjustable sights, and scope-mounting capability, is set up to handle deer, hog, and other game where the .44 Magnum is legal and appropriate. Always follow your local hunting regulations and choose ammunition matched to your quarry.

How do I load the Henry Big Boy, and what does side-gate loading mean?

The rifle uses a side-gate loading system on the receiver, allowing you to load rounds directly into the magazine without opening or removing it. This makes it fast and convenient to top off your rounds in the field or at the range. The ten-round capacity gives you plenty of firepower between full reloads.
