- Caliber-Gauge:
- 44-40 Winchester
The Taylors & Company 1860 Henry lever-action rifle in .44-40 Winchester is a faithful reproduction of one of America's most iconic frontier firearms. Built on the classic Henry platform with a 24¼-inch octagonal barrel, this rifle delivers authentic period styling alongside practical shooting performance. It's built for shooters who appreciate lever-action rifles for hunting, sport shooting, or simply the timeless appeal of working with a gun that shaped the Old West.
The octagonal barrel tapers smoothly and wears a deep blue finish that contrasts beautifully with the case-hardened steel frame, giving this rifle genuine character without sacrificing durability. The walnut furniture—stock and foregrip—is finished to a rich, natural sheen that feels as good as it looks. At 9 pounds and 43.75 inches overall, the 1860 Henry handles like a proper saddle rifle: quick enough for brush work, balanced enough for all-day carry, and substantial enough to command respect on game or at the range.
The .44-40 Winchester round is a legitimate hunting cartridge with real heritage; it'll take deer-sized game and varmints out to reasonable distances. The 13-round capacity (loaded through the magazine tube) gives you genuine firepower for sport shooting or when you need follow-up shots. Sights are straightforward—a rear ladder sight and blade front sight—both of which are easy to acquire and adjust without tools. This is a rifle that works the way rifles did before modern optics and tactical rails, and if that's what you're after, the Taylors & Company 1860 Henry delivers authenticity without compromise.
