Henry Big Boy Side Gate .357/.38 Lever Action Rifle with Large Loop - Model H006GMLL

The Henry Big Boy Side Gate .357/.38 lever action rifle combines classic American craftsmanship with modern convenience features that working hunters and sport shooters have been asking for. This Model H006GMLL delivers the smooth, iconic Henry lever action in a cartridge that packs genuine hunting power and is easy on the shooter—making it equally at home on small game, pest control, or even deer-sized game when conditions and laws allow. The side loading gate makes topping off faster than traditional tube-fed rifles, and the large loop lever accommodates gloved hands or swift shooting without fumbling.

Built with an octagon blued steel barrel and a polished hardened brass receiver, this rifle looks as good as it shoots. The American walnut furniture and brass details give it that unmistakable Henry character—refined but undeniably rugged. At 20 inches of barrel length and 38.5 inches overall, it's compact enough to carry through brush or load into a truck, yet balanced at 8.68 pounds. The 1:16 twist rate is tuned for the .357 Magnum and .38 Special, so you get consistent accuracy from both cartridges out of one rifle. That versatility matters: you can practice affordably with .38 Special loads, then step up to full .357 Magnum power when the hunt demands it.

The rear sight is a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn with a diamond insert for precision at distance, while the front sight features a brass bead for quick target acquisition. If you prefer glass or electronic optics, the rifle is drilled and tapped for scope rings, and comes ready to accept Henry's BB-RSM mount. The transfer bar safety keeps the firing pin secure until the trigger is fully pressed, adding a margin of security when carrying in the field. Whether you're a Henry collector, a lever-action traditionalist, or someone who simply wants a rifle that handles like it was made for real work, this Big Boy delivers.
