Henry Steel Wildlife .30-30 Winchester Lever Action Rifle with 20" Barrel - H009GWL

The Henry Steel Wildlife .30-30 Winchester lever action rifle is a refined take on an American hunting classic, built for shooters who appreciate tradition without sacrificing capability. With its 20-inch barrel, compact 39-inch overall length, and 7-pound heft, this rifle handles like a dream in brush and timber—ideal for hunting whitetail, mule deer, and black bear at typical hunting ranges. The blued steel receiver and barrel wear well in the field, and the fancy American walnut furniture gives this lever gun genuine character that improves with use.

What sets the Henry Steel Wildlife apart is its attention to detail. The engraved receiver features 24K gold inlay work that catches the light without being flashy, and swivel studs are already installed for a sling. The gun ships with open sights tuned for hunting: a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a diamond insert for precision, and a brass bead front that picks up light reliably in low conditions. If you want to mount a scope, the rifle is already drilled and tapped for Weaver 63B rings, giving you modern optics options without gunsmithing.

The action is pure Henry quality—smooth, reliable, and user-friendly. Transfer bar safety keeps you protected, and the five-round capacity works for hunting and targets alike. At 1:12 twist and chambered in the storied .30-30 Winchester, ballistics are straightforward: a cartridge that's dropped game across three generations and still gets the job done. The 14-inch length of pull fits most shooters comfortably, and the black ventilated rubber recoil pad soaks up the mild kick this caliber produces.

Whether you're looking for a capable deer rifle, a collector's lever gun, or a reliable backup for hunting camp, this Henry delivers at a price point that rewards smart spending. It's the kind of rifle that builds confidence in the woods.
