Henry Steel Lever Action Side Gate 45-70Govt 18.43" 4+1

The Henry Steel Lever Action Rifle is a high quality lever-action rifle that is ideal for both hunting and sport shooting. The .45-70 caliber, with its substantial knockdown power, can halt any North American game in its tracks. It originated with a 405-grain lead bullet driven by 70 grains of black powder. Subsequently, a heavier 500-grain load was introduced to increase the effective range, while the original lighter cartridge continued to be used in cavalry carbines. Over time, this caliber has received extensive commercial support, offering a range from high-velocity 300-grain expanding loads to 600-grain subsonic ones. Its sturdy rimmed case ensures reliable feeding from tube magazines, and its moderate chamber pressure facilitates easy extraction.

The H010G is notably lightweight at seven pounds, facilitating easy stalking of game, while the ventilated rubber recoil pad ensures comfort for the shoulder. It features a matte blued steel receiver and an 18.4-inch round barrel, designed for practicality, complemented by the classic aesthetic of checkered American walnut. The pistol-grip buttstock and steel-capped forend are equipped with pre-installed sling swivel studs, allowing for the use of a sling to aid in stability and control of muzzle rise. Its side-loading gate enables quick and convenient reloading and topping off of the four-shot tubular magazine, all without compromising the sight picture. Additionally, the rifle maintains the original front-loading option for rapid and secure unloading, bypassing the need to cycle cartridges through the action.

The adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight, paired with a brass-beaded front post sight, is ideal for the rapid shots common in hog hunting, while the drilled and tapped receiver allows for straightforward scope mounting for more deliberate long-range shooting. This lever-action rifle is both convenient and potent, offering quick follow-up shots on grizzlies and accurate, single-shot takedowns of whitetail deer. The Steel Lever Action .45-70 Side Gate combines stopping power, precision, and dependability in a traditionally styled package.

Every Henry rifle is 100% American made, pairing genuine American walnut stock and forearm with finely machined blued steel to achieve a classic and enduring appeal.Whether for the critical role of home defense and property protection, or the more casual purpose of range shooting, the Steel Lever Action Rifle from Henry merits inclusion in your collection.
