There is a reason the Big Boy Steel has become one of Henry's most popular hunting rifles. It takes the classic brass-framed Big Boy formula and trims real weight off it, coming in right around 7 pounds thanks to the blued steel receiver and round 20 inch barrel. The H012GL adds two features people ask for by name: the side loading gate and the oversized loop lever. You can top off the tube through the gate without breaking your shooting position, and the removable tube magazine is still there when you want to unload quickly and safely at the end of the day. The big loop is more than a nod to western style, it gives gloved hands room to work when the weather turns cold.
Out of a 20 inch barrel, .44 Magnum picks up serious velocity over what any revolver can deliver, which puts it squarely in whitetail and hog territory at woods distances. The 10+1 capacity is generous for a big bore lever gun, and it feeds .44 Special just as happily for mild, low-cost range sessions or introducing a new shooter to the platform. The action runs smooth right out of the box, which is something Henry owners bring up constantly, and the transfer bar safety in the hammer means no crossbolt cluttering up the receiver.
Henry ships this one with a brass bead front sight and a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a diamond insert, a setup that is quick to pick up in timber. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so adding a scope or red dot with Henry's mount is a simple weekend job if your eyes prefer glass. The American walnut stock and forend carry deep, crisp checkering with a straight grip wrist, a 14 inch length of pull, and a solid rubber recoil pad that takes the sting out of full-power magnum loads. Sling swivel studs come installed, ready for a strap before opening morning. Fit and finish on these rifles routinely draw praise, and this one has the look of a gun that gets handed down rather than traded off.
Yes, it handles both interchangeably. .44 Special is a great choice for relaxed range days and new lever gun owners since it recoils gently and costs less to run, while full-power .44 Magnum loads turn this into a capable woods hunting rifle. The tube holds 10 rounds of magnum-length ammo.
You can. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, and Henry offers a scope mount that drops right on. Plenty of owners run a low-power scope or red dot for hunting while keeping the brass bead and semi-buckhorn irons as a backup.
It gives you the best of both loading styles. The side gate lets you top off the magazine one round at a time without taking the rifle out of action, which is handy in the field. The removable inner tube lets you unload without cycling every round through the chamber, which is quicker and safer at the end of a hunt.
Absolutely, within sensible distances. The 20 inch barrel adds a meaningful velocity bump over revolver-length barrels, making .44 Magnum a proven performer on whitetail and hogs inside 100 to 150 yards. Its 7 pound weight and quick-handling length also make it easy to carry and maneuver in thick cover or a blind.
