Henry Brass Lever Action SG Large Loop 45-70Govt 22" 5+1

Introduced by the US Army in 1873 as the .45 Government, the cartridge soon hit the commercial market as the .45-70. The caliber .45-70 comes from the .45 caliber projectile, loaded with 70 grains of black powder which at the time nearly all late 19th and early 20th-century firearms manufacturers chambered their rifles in the venerable cartridge.

The Henry Brass Lever Action Side Gate continues the tradition of the .45-70 from back in the day, combining old-world aesthetics with cutting-edge precision manufacturing. The hardened brass receiver sports a side-loading gate, allowing the user to keep the four-round tubular magazine topped off without dropping the rifle from your shoulder. In addition, the company has retained the traditional removable tube magazine for those who wish to utilize this version of loading rather than the side gate method. With both loading options at your disposal, the user will be able to adapt to either method and become proficient in what feels best for them.

The Henry features a classic semi-buckhorn rear sight and brass bead front sight that accompanies the 22” polished blued steel octagon barrel, along with a straight grip genuine American walnut buttstock and forearm and a polished brass barrel band. For those who are looking for a quality made lever action rifle for hunting  and or target practice should take a look at the Henry Brass Lever Action Side Gate chambered in .45-70 Government.
