Henry Golden Boy "Spirit of the Corps" 250th Tribute Edition Rifle .22 S/L/LR 16rd Capacity 20" Octagon Barrel Engraved Wood Stock

The Henry Golden Boy "Spirit of the Corps" 250th Tribute Edition is a lever-action .22 rimfire built to honor the Marines. This isn't just another Golden Boy—it's a meticulously engraved rifle that weaves Marine Corps history into every surface, making it as much a collectible tribute as it is a capable rimfire shooter. If you're a Marine, a veteran, a serious collector, or someone who appreciates craftsmanship and heritage, this rifle demands a place in your safe.

What sets this tribute edition apart is the engraving work. Henry transferred designs from hand-engraved master plates onto the receiver covers, buttstock, and forearm—a mechanical process that preserves incredible detail and clarity. The right receiver cover features a Joint Light Tactical Vehicle and V-22 Osprey alongside the opening line of the Marine Hymn; the left side continues the verse with historical vignettes. The buttstock carries full-color painted portraits of Marines through the ages, standing guard over the flag. A banner on the forearm reads "In The Air On Land And Sea." Gleaming 24-karat gold plating highlights the engraving, while nickel-plated brass accents on the buttplate and barrel band complement the blued octagon barrel and nickel receiver cover.

Mechanically, the Golden Boy platform is proven. The 20-inch octagon barrel is chambered for .22 S, .22 L, and .22 LR ammunition, with a 16-round capacity when firing LR or 21 rounds of .22 S. It's drilled and tapped for scope mounts, pairs traditional semi-buckhorn sights with a brass bead front, and features the classic 1/4 cock safety. At 6.75 pounds with a 14-inch length of pull and American walnut furniture, it handles like a genuine rifle. This is equipment for the range, the field, or the display case—and it earns a place in all three.
