Henry Steel Lever Action 30-30 Rifle with 20" Barrel, 5-Round Capacity, Large Loop, and Side Gate - H009GL

The Henry Steel Lever Action 30-30 rifle combines classic American hunting heritage with modern reliability in a package built for serious deer and elk hunters. This .30-30 lever-action rifle features a 20-inch barrel, large loop lever for smooth, quick cycling, and a side-gate loading system that speeds up reloads in the field. With a 5-round capacity and transfer bar safety, the H009GL delivers the accuracy and dependability hunters expect from Henry Repeating Arms, backed by honest blued steel and American walnut that will age beautifully with use.

The 30-30 Winchester is one of the most effective cartridges for deer, elk, and large game at hunting ranges up to 125 yards, and this Henry gives you the tool to make those shots count. The fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with diamond insert and brass bead front sight are precise enough for hunting, while the drilled and tapped receiver lets you mount a scope using the Weaver 63B standard if you prefer glass. At 7 pounds and 39 inches overall, it handles like a true hunting rifle—light enough to carry all day through timber or brush, yet substantial enough to shoot confidently from any position.

Lever actions have earned their reputation for smooth, instinctive handling, and the large loop on this Henry gives you room to work the action fast without removing your shooting grip. The black ventilated rubber recoil pad absorbs the .30-30's modest kick, and the 14-inch length of pull fits most hunters comfortably. Swivel studs are built in, so you can mount a sling right away.

If you hunt where traditions matter and reliability has to be absolute, the Henry Steel 30-30 is a rifle that respects your time in the field and your commitment to clean, ethical shots on game.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount a scope on the Henry .30-30?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped to accept Weaver 63B scope mounts, so you can add optics if you prefer glass over the iron sights. The iron sights remain functional if you choose to keep them.

Is the large loop lever good for hunting with gloves?

The large loop design gives you extra room to cycle the action without removing your hand from your grip or taking off a glove, which is useful in cold weather or brush hunting where speed and comfort matter.

What game is the .30-30 suitable for?

The .30-30 is an excellent choice for deer and elk hunting at ranges up to 125 yards. It's one of the most proven hunting cartridges in North America and performs well in timber or brushy terrain where most shots happen within that distance.

Does the side gate make reloading faster?

The side gate allows you to load rounds through the side of the receiver rather than removing the entire internal magazine tube, which speeds up reloading in the field between shots or during a hunt.
