Henry Big Boy Side Gate X Model .357 Magnum Lever Action Rifle - Black
Henry Repeating Arms
The Henry Big Boy X Model Steel .44 Magnum lever action rifle brings classic lines and modern features to a time-tested platform. Built on Henry's reputation for rugged, reliable leverguns, the Big Boy X chambers the hard-hitting .44 Magnum—a cartridge equally at home in hunting medium game or punching steel at the range. This isn't a scaled-down or underpowered knockoff; it's a serious hunting and shooting tool wrapped in black synthetic furniture and wearing fiber optic sights that cut through low light better than traditional blade-and-notch setups.
What sets the X apart is the modern ergonomic package. The large loop lever cycles smoothly without fouling your hand, the threaded barrel opens up suppressor options for hunters who value hearing health, and the M-Lok Picatinny rail gives you attachment points for accessories without permanent modifications. The black synthetic stock and pistol grip make it at home whether you're running it as-is or mounting an optic. Drilled and tapped receiver and included scope mount bases mean you can set up glass quickly if you prefer magnification over irons. At 7.3 lbs and 36.3 inches overall, it balances handleability in brush with enough heft to manage recoil—a .44 Magnum deserves respect, and Henry engineered this rifle to keep you in control.
The transfer bar safety keeps the gun secure whether you carry it loaded or store it ready, and the solid rubber recoil pad absorbs punishment so you can focus on follow-up shots. Seven-round capacity gives you enough firepower for hunting scenarios without sacrificing the quick handling that makes lever guns special. Whether you're a lever gun traditionalist looking to modernize or a shooter curious about what all the fuss is about, the Big Boy X merges heritage and function.

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, and the rifle ships with BB-RSM scope mount bases included. You can use the fiber optic sights as-is or add your preferred optic for longer-range shooting.

Length of pull is 14 inches, measured from the center of the trigger to the center of the recoil pad. This is a standard youth-to-adult dimension; most shooters will find it comfortable, but if you have an exceptionally long or short arm, handle the rifle in person before purchasing.
