The Henry Side Gate Lever Action Rifle in .45-70 Govt brings classic American rifle engineering to hunters and shooters who demand reliability and stopping power on big game. This octagon-barreled lever gun combines the timeless appeal of a walnut-stocked rifle with the modern convenience of a side-loading gate, making it faster and more intuitive to load than traditional tube-fed designs. At 8.1 lbs with a 22-inch barrel, it balances maneuverability in brush country with the velocity needed for effective hunting at distance.
The .45-70 Govt is a legendary cartridge—proven on everything from deer and hogs to bear, moose, and elk—and this Henry respects that heritage. The large-loop lever works smoothly whether you're wearing heavy gloves or running it in cold weather, while the color case-hardened receiver and blued steel give you that unmistakable Henry look without the fuss of constant maintenance. Four-round capacity is typical for the cartridge in a lever action and plenty for hunting situations.
Sights are user-adjustable, with a semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front—a proven combination that's fast to acquire and works well in most hunting conditions. The rifle is drilled and tapped for a scope mount with Weaver 63B rings, so you can add glass if you want to extend your effective range. The transfer bar safety keeps the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pressed, and the ventilated rubber buttpad helps manage the .45-70's stout recoil. All of this comes wrapped in American walnut, with swivel studs for sling use.
This is a rifle for hunters who appreciate rifles that work hard and look good doing it—whether you're hunting big timber, collecting classic Henrys, or just want a rifle that handles the toughest game in North America.

Yes. The .45-70 Govt is one of the most proven big-game cartridges in North America, with a long history on large dangerous game. This rifle is suitable for deer, bear, hogs, moose, and elk—though like any rifle, effectiveness depends on shot placement and distance. At 100 yards and closer, it delivers the power these animals demand.
Yes. The rifle is drilled and tapped for a Weaver 63B scope mount base, so you can easily add optics. The adjustable iron sights work well on their own, but a scope extends your effective hunting range if you want it.
The rifle holds four rounds. The side-loading gate on the receiver lets you load cartridges directly into the magazine without feeding them through a tube—faster and more convenient than traditional lever-action tube-fed designs.
The rifle weighs 8.1 lbs, making it light enough to carry all day in the field but heavy enough to manage recoil comfortably in .45-70.
