The Henry Big Boy X H012X transforms the classic lever-action platform with modern tactical features while maintaining the reliable .44 Remington Magnum performance hunters and shooters demand. This full-size rifle bridges traditional lever-action reliability with contemporary functionality through its synthetic stock and enhanced design elements.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional wood-stocked lever rifles, the Big Boy X features a weather-resistant black synthetic stock that won't warp, crack, or swell in harsh conditions. The 17.40-inch blued steel barrel provides optimal velocity for .44 Magnum cartridges while maintaining maneuverability in dense cover. Henry's side-loading gate system allows for quick individual cartridge loading without removing the magazine tube, a significant advantage over traditional tube-only loading systems.
Key Features
- 7+1 capacity with .44 Remington Magnum chambering for substantial stopping power
- 17.40-inch blued steel barrel optimized for magnum cartridge performance
- Black synthetic stock resists weather damage and provides consistent grip
- Side-loading gate enables tactical reloading while keeping rifle shouldered
- Blued steel receiver with smooth lever action cycling
- Right-hand configuration with traditional Henry brass bead front sight
- Drilled and tapped receiver accepts scope mounts for enhanced accuracy
The .44 Magnum chambering delivers effective performance for medium game hunting at ranges up to 150 yards, while the lever action provides rapid follow-up shots when needed. The synthetic stock maintains zero stability across temperature variations that would affect wood stocks. This rifle excels in hunting scenarios requiring quick handling and reliable function in adverse weather conditions.
