The Henry H012MX Big Boy X Model transforms the classic lever-action platform with modern tactical enhancements while maintaining the reliability Henry rifles are known for. This full-size 357 Magnum variant bridges traditional lever-action design with contemporary shooting needs through its synthetic stock construction and updated ergonomics.
What Makes This Different
The Big Boy X Model departs from Henry's traditional brass receiver design, featuring a blued steel receiver that reduces weight and provides a more tactical appearance. The black synthetic stock replaces wood furniture, offering superior weather resistance and dimensional stability compared to traditional materials. This configuration maintains the smooth Henry lever action while adapting the platform for modern shooting applications.
