Product Overview

The Henry Big Boy H012GCRCC is a .45 Colt lever-action rifle built for hunters and shooters who value classic American gunmaking with modern reliability. This is the short-barrel version of Henry's legendary Big Boy platform—16.5 inches of octagon blued steel built to handle the power and tradition of the .45 Colt cartridge. Whether you're working brush country, setting up for intermediate-range hunting, or just want a handy rifle that turns heads at the range, the Big Boy delivers genuine performance wrapped in timeless style.

What sets this rifle apart is the color case hardened receiver and American walnut furniture—details that reflect Henry's commitment to fit and finish. The large-loop lever action cycles smoothly and reliably, while the load gate makes feeding intuitive and fast. Seven rounds of .45 Colt means you're carrying serious stopping power in a compact, maneuverable package that weighs just 7.41 pounds. The fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with diamond insert pairs with a brass bead front sight for a sight picture that cuts through the clutter, and the rifle is drilled and tapped for scope mounting if you want to reach out further.

Henry built this rifle to work. The transfer bar safety keeps things secure, and the rubber recoil pad manages the .45 Colt's impulse without fuss. Swivel studs come ready for a sling. This is a rifle that respects tradition without being bound by it—practical, reliable, and built to last generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount a scope on this rifle?

Yes. The Big Boy H012GCRCC is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and it includes a BB-RSM mount base. You'll need to add your own scope and rings, but the platform is ready to accommodate optics if you want to extend your effective range beyond the open sights.

What is the length of pull, and will it fit me?

The length of pull is 14 inches, measured from the trigger to the back of the rubber recoil pad. This is a standard length that suits most adult shooters; if you're particularly large or small, you may want to handle one in person to verify fit before buying.

Is this rifle suitable for hunting large game?

The .45 Colt is a proven hunting cartridge, and Henry designed this rifle with hunting in mind. The combination of stopping power and the handy 16.5-inch barrel makes it well-suited for hunting in closer ranges and brush country where maneuverability matters.

What sights come on the Big Boy?

The rifle includes factory-installed open sights: a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a diamond insert and a brass bead front sight. These sights are purpose-built for fast target acquisition and work well for hunting and general shooting out to intermediate distances.
