Henry H010G Side Gate Lever Action Rifle 45-70 Gov 4+1 18.43"

The Henry H010G Side Gate combines traditional lever-action reliability with modern loading convenience for the powerful 45-70 Government cartridge. This full-size rifle bridges classic American craftsmanship with practical improvements that serious hunters and shooters demand.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional Henry rifles that load through the muzzle, the H010G features a side loading gate that allows shooters to top off the magazine without removing cartridges or cycling the action. The solid steel receiver and 18.43-inch barrel provide the structural integrity needed to handle the substantial pressures of 45-70 Government loads. This design eliminates the loading limitations that have historically defined lever-action rifles.

Key Features

• Side loading gate enables quick magazine top-offs during shooting sessions
• 18.43-inch blued steel barrel with 1:20 twist rate optimized for heavy bullets
• 4+1 capacity tubular magazine holds five rounds of 45-70 Government
• Solid steel receiver with traditional blued finish resists corrosion
• American walnut stock and forearm provide classic appearance and durability
• Adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with brass bead front sight
• Drilled and tapped receiver accepts scope mounts for optics installation

The 45-70 Government cartridge delivers devastating performance on large game at moderate ranges, making this rifle effective for elk, bear, and dangerous game hunting. The lever action cycles smoothly for quick follow-up shots, while the substantial weight helps manage the significant recoil of full-power 45-70 loads. Weather-resistant blued steel construction maintains reliability in harsh hunting conditions.
