Description
Some rifles get bought to be used hard and put away wet. This is not one of those. The Golden Boy Deluxe 4th Edition is Henry's showpiece rimfire, a limited run of 1,000 rifles where every receiver wears deep, hand-detailed scrollwork engraving over that unmistakable Brasslite finish. Each one is individually numbered 1 through 1000, so you know exactly where yours falls in the run. Paired with select American walnut and a 20 inch blued octagon barrel, the contrast between polished brass tones, deep bluing, and rich wood grain is the kind of thing that stops people mid-conversation at the range.
A Golden Boy Deluxe That Still Earns Its Keep
Here's the part collectors sometimes forget: underneath all that engraving is the same smooth-cycling Golden Boy action Henry has built its reputation on. The tubular magazine feeds .22 Short, Long, or Long Rifle, holding 16 rounds of LR or 21 Shorts, and loading through the front port is quick and simple. The brass bead front sight and adjustable semi-buckhorn rear give you a classic sight picture, and if your eyes prefer glass, the receiver is drilled and tapped for a GB-RSM style scope mount. At 6.75 pounds with a 38.5 inch overall length and 14 inch length of pull, it shoulders naturally and swings easy.
Why the 4th Edition Engraved Model Stands Apart
Henry has done tribute and commemorative Golden Boys before, but the Deluxe Engraved editions are the ones that tend to disappear from shelves and hold their appeal for years. The 4th Edition continues that tradition with fresh engraving patterns that complement the figure in the fancy-grade walnut rather than compete with it. Whether it ends up behind glass in your gun room or earning its keep plinking with the grandkids on Sunday afternoons, this is one of those rifles that gets handed down instead of traded in. With only a thousand made, when they're gone, they're gone.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Golden Boy Deluxe 4th Edition rifles were made?
Henry limited this run to 1,000 rifles total, and each one carries its own special serial number from 1 to 1000. That numbering is a big part of the collector appeal, since you can document exactly where your rifle sits in the edition. Once the run sells through, no more will be produced.
Can the Henry Golden Boy Deluxe 4th Edition shoot .22 Short and .22 Long as well as .22 LR?
Yes. The tubular magazine feeds .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably. Capacity changes with the cartridge, holding 16 rounds of .22 LR or up to 21 rounds of .22 Short. That flexibility makes it a fun, low-cost plinker in addition to being a display piece.
Can I mount a scope on this rifle?
You can. The receiver is drilled and tapped to accept a GB-RSM style scope mount, so adding glass is straightforward if the iron sights aren't your thing. That said, the brass bead front and adjustable semi-buckhorn rear are well suited to the rifle's traditional character, and many owners leave it as-is.
Is the 4th Edition meant to be a safe queen or can I shoot it regularly?
That's up to you. Underneath the engraving it's a standard Golden Boy, which is a proven, smooth-running lever action that handles regular range use without complaint. Plenty of buyers keep these unfired for collectible value, while others shoot them and enjoy every minute. Either way, the mechanics are built to run.
