What's in the Box
- Henry Big Boy Steel 357/38 Side Gate Lever-Action Rifle with Large Loop
- Owner's Manual
Together with a trusty revolver in the same caliber, these rifles make the most of Cowboy Logistics, reducing the weight of the ammunition required on the trail. They fit saddle scabbards snugly, with the milder report of pistol-caliber cartridges being easier on the horse ears. The carbine makes as handy a trail partner in dense woodland undergrowth as it does in off-road vehicles and trucks.
Traditional in appearance, pistol-caliber Big Boys are drilled and tapped for optic mounts for rapid target acquisition with red dots and longer reach with magnified scopes. Long barrels produce a substantial velocity increase with Magnum pistol cartridges, approaching the conventional rifle levels while offering greater tube magazine capacity and shorter lever throws thanks to shorter cases. Smooth, dependable actions and inherent accuracy of Henry barrels add up to enjoyable handling and effective performance on game and paper targets alike.
A perfect choice for straight-walled cartridge hunting laws in Ohio, Indiana, Southern Michigan, and those pending in other areas; with its subdued no-spook-em dark finish and easy-to-maneuver dimensions, we’ve got that brand new deer rifle you’ve been looking for right here.

I put in 10 rounds at a time, and about every 8th or 9th round, it wont eject and I have to pry it out with a screwdriver. Then after its cleared, I have to work the action twice to get the next round to feed.
Excellent gun, beautiful condition, and it works. It holds about 10 rounds in the tube. The only problem is, at least one out of these 10 will not eject the spent cartridge. Other than that, it works fine.
I was very pleased with range performance. Out of the box it provided excellent results with both 357 Magnums and 38 Specials. Operates smoothly as I would expect from a Henry rifle.
The lever action was super smooth, which I have come to expect from Henry. On standard target ammo, both in 357 Mag and 38 special, I was able to maintain less than 2 inch groups at 100 yards, which was better than expected. Side gate great for topping off magazine, tube made easy to feed initial load 10 rounds with no problems.
OK, i do have a few other Henry rifles, but have to say this one has the typical smooth action and it came with a really nice stock, nice grain in the wood. And, love the side gate with tube mag that can be unloaded easy.
