The Henry Big Boy Side Gate .44 Mag lever action rifle brings classic American gunsmithing to the field with modern practicality. This compact rifle delivers the stopping power hunters need for large game and the inherent reliability of lever-action design. At 16.5 inches of octagon barrel and 34.1 inches overall, it balances portability with pointability—ideal for brush country, truck racks, and close-to-medium-range hunting where quick follow-up shots matter.
What sets this Big Boy apart is the side gate loading system, which speeds ammunition management in the field without sacrificing the classic aesthetic. The color case hardened receiver and walnut furniture look as good at camp as they do behind the trigger. Seven rounds of .44 Magnum or .44 Special (both fire reliably from the same chamber) give you a serious caliber in a package that doesn't demand a sling to move around your property. At 7.41 pounds, it won't wear you out on an all-day hunt.
Sights are dead-on practical: a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with diamond insert for precision aiming and a brass bead front that's easy to pick up in dim light. The rifle is drilled and tapped for modern optics if you prefer a scope or red dot, and it ships ready to mount hardware. A transfer bar safety keeps the action secure during carry and handling, while swivel studs front and back accept a sling setup of your choice. The black rubber recoil pad handles the .44's snap without fuss.
Whether you're working backup rifle duty on a big game hunt, defending livestock, or punching paper at the range, the Henry Big Boy Side Gate is a straightforward, American-made tool that works.
