Henry Golden Boy Silver Lever Action Rifle - .22 S/L/LR, Model H004SL

The Henry Golden Boy Silver lever action rifle in .22 S/L/LR is a timeless .22 rimfire built for shooters who appreciate classic American gunsmithing paired with practical reliability. This Model H004SL delivers the smooth, nostalgic feel of a traditional lever gun while handling everything from subsonic shorts to high-velocity long rifles—making it ideal for plinking, small-game hunting, target shooting, or introducing new shooters to rifle marksmanship. The nickel-plated alloy receiver and octagon blued-steel barrel give it a distinctly vintage character that stands out on the range or in the field.

Lever action rifles have a loyal following for good reason: fast, intuitive cycling, minimal maintenance, and genuinely fun to shoot. The Golden Boy Silver hits that sweet spot between authentic aesthetics and modern usability. With its 20.5-inch barrel and 39-inch overall length, it handles like a rifle that was built to go places. The American walnut straight-grip stock and nickel-plated buttplate reinforce that classic DNA, while the 14-inch length of pull suits a wide range of shooters. A 12-round capacity means fewer reloads and more trigger time on targets or game.

The sights are ready to work out of the box: a brass-bead front sight pairs with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight featuring a diamond insert for precision aiming. If you prefer glass, the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting with a GB-CSM base. The 1:16 twist rate stabilizes .22 ammunition across the spectrum. Safety is managed via quarter-cock, a time-honored lever-gun feature that lets you rest the hammer between shots without risk.

Whether you're after a dependable plinker, a youth rifle that builds good habits, or a compact .22 that reminds you why lever guns feel right in your hands, the Henry Golden Boy Silver delivers without fuss or unnecessary modern complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot all three .22 ammunition types in this rifle?

Yes. The Henry Golden Boy Silver is chambered in .22 S/L/LR, so it accepts .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle ammunition without any modification or parts swaps.

Is this rifle good for a beginner or young shooter?

Absolutely. The .22 rimfire is the gold standard for learning rifle fundamentals: mild recoil, low noise, affordable ammunition, and forgiving to shoot. The 14-inch length of pull and lightweight lever action make it accessible to shooters of various sizes and ages. Many experienced shooters also prefer a .22 lever gun for teaching because it's intuitive and genuinely fun.

Can I mount a scope on the Golden Boy Silver?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting and accepts a GB-CSM base. However, the rifle comes standard with open sights (brass bead front and adjustable diamond-insert rear), so you'll need to purchase a scope base and rings separately if you want to mount glass.
