Henry Wildlife Series H009BGWL Brass .30-30 Lever Action Rifle with Side Gate

The Henry Wildlife Series H009BGWL is a brass .30-30 lever action rifle built for hunters and shooters who value both heritage and functionality. This is a classic American lever gun reimagined with brass accents that set it apart from standard blued-steel counterparts. The side gate loading mechanism modernizes the traditional lever action experience, making it faster and more convenient to load than top-port designs—a practical upgrade that doesn't sacrifice the rifle's timeless appeal. Whether you're pursuing deer in thick timber or working targets at the range, this .30-30 delivers the accuracy and reliability that Henry Repeating Arms has built its reputation on.

The rifle wears a polished hardened brass receiver and buttplate that age beautifully and announce its quality at a glance. An octagon blued steel barrel sits atop American walnut furniture, creating the kind of balance between aesthetics and durability that collectors and working hunters both appreciate. The five-round capacity is typical for lever guns in this caliber, and the 20-inch barrel keeps the overall length at 39 inches—compact enough for brush hunting, manageable in a truck or cabin. At 8.30 pounds, it's light enough for a full day afield without being so featherweight that recoil becomes unpleasant.

Sights are practical and fully adjustable: a semi-buckhorn rear with a diamond insert for precise aiming, and a brass bead up front that's easy to pick up in low light. The rifle is drilled and tapped for scope mounting with a Weaver 63B base, so adding glass doesn't require gunsmithing. Deer receiver engraving adds a finishing touch that speaks to the Wildlife Series' hunting heritage. A transfer bar safety rounds out the package, providing reliable, intuitive operation.
