Description
The .41 Remington Magnum has always been the thinking man's magnum, and the Henry Big Boy Classic gives it a proper home. This is the H006M41, the brass-framed Big Boy that put Henry on the map, dressed out with a 20-inch octagon blued steel barrel, a polished hardened brass receiver, and a straight-grip stock and forend cut from select American walnut. A brass barrel band and brass buttplate finish off the look, and the whole package weighs in at 8.68 pounds with a 38.5-inch overall length. That heft is a good thing here, since it soaks up recoil and steadies the sights when you're holding on a buck at the edge of a clearing.
What the Big Boy .41 Magnum Brings to the Field
The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds and loads through the removable inner tube, the traditional Henry way. Sights are a brass bead up front paired with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a reversible white diamond insert, which stands out nicely against dark timber. If your eyes prefer glass, the receiver comes drilled and tapped so adding a scope is a simple weekend project. The 1:18 twist stabilizes typical 210-grain loads well, and out of a 20-inch barrel the .41 Mag picks up a healthy velocity bump over a revolver, making it a legitimate deer and hog cartridge inside 100 yards or so. It also pairs perfectly with a .41 Mag wheelgun if you like carrying one cartridge for both.
Why This Henry Lever Action Earns Its Keep
What sells these rifles, though, is the action. Henry levers cycle with a smoothness that's hard to describe until you run one, and a transfer bar safety means there's no manual safety cluttering up the lines. It's made in America, it feeds soft-shooting range loads and full-power hunting ammo without complaint, and it's one of the few production rifles keeping the underrated .41 Magnum alive. For hunters, cowboy action fans, and collectors alike, this one checks a lot of boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you load the Henry Big Boy .41 Magnum?
This is a classic tube-loading Henry, so there's no side loading gate on this model. You twist and pull the inner magazine tube partway out, drop rounds into the loading port on the tube, then slide it back in. It holds 10 rounds of .41 Rem Mag, and once you've done it a couple times it becomes second nature.
Can I mount a scope on the Big Boy Classic in .41 Mag?
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, and Henry's BB-RSM scope mount is the direct fit. A low-power scope or a red dot pairs nicely with the .41 Magnum's practical range, though the adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front are plenty usable as they come.
Is .41 Remington Magnum enough for deer hunting out of this rifle?
Absolutely, within sensible distances. The 20-inch barrel squeezes noticeably more velocity out of the cartridge than a revolver, and a 210-grain load hits with authority on deer and hogs inside 100 yards or so. It splits the difference between .357 and .44 Mag with a flatter trajectory than the .44 and less recoil, which is exactly why fans of the cartridge swear by it.
Does the Henry Big Boy have a manual safety?
No manual safety switch, which keeps the classic lines clean. It uses a transfer bar safety, so the rifle can only fire when the trigger is deliberately pulled, and the hammer can rest safely over a loaded chamber. It's a simple, proven system that doesn't get in the way when a shot presents itself.
