Description
There is something about a nickel receiver against a deep blued octagon barrel that makes people stop and look. The Henry Golden Boy Silver H004SV takes the classic Golden Boy formula and swaps the brass tones for a mirror-bright nickel-plated receiver, barrel band, and buttplate. Set against nicely figured American walnut, it is one of the best looking rimfire lever guns you can put in a rack. But this one is not just for the display case. Chambered in .17 HMR, it sends light, fast bullets on a flat trajectory that makes hits on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and other small varmints far easier at distance than a standard .22.
What the Golden Boy Silver Brings to the Field
The 20 inch octagon barrel puts some weight out front, and at 6.75 pounds overall the rifle settles in nicely for steady offhand shots. The tubular magazine holds 11 rounds of .17 HMR and loads through the familiar brass follower tube, no clips or box mags to lose. Up top you get a brass bead front sight paired with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a diamond insert, a setup that suits the rifle's Old West character and works well within honest rimfire distances. If you want to stretch the .17 HMR to its full potential, the receiver is drilled and tapped for Henry's cantilever scope mount, so adding glass is a simple job.
Henry Craftsmanship, Made in the USA
The lever throw on these rifles is smooth right out of the box, one of the things Henry has built its reputation on, and it only gets slicker with use. Fit and finish are what you would expect from a company that builds everything here in the States and backs it with a lifetime of support. Overall length runs 38.5 inches with a 14 inch length of pull, comfortable for most adults and manageable for younger hunters too.
A .17 HMR Lever Gun Worth Handing Down
Whether it ends up as your go-to varmint rifle, a range day favorite, or the start of a collection, the Golden Boy Silver is the kind of gun that gets passed along rather than traded in. Good looks, real accuracy, and a caliber that earns its keep on small game.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mount a scope on the Henry Golden Boy Silver H004SV?
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, and Henry offers a cantilever scope mount (GB-CSM) made for the Golden Boy line. That said, the brass bead front and adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sights are perfectly usable if you prefer to keep it traditional.
How many rounds does the Golden Boy Silver hold in .17 HMR?
The tubular magazine under the barrel holds 11 rounds of .17 HMR. You load it the classic way, by pulling the inner brass tube and dropping rounds down the loading port, so there are no detachable magazines to keep track of.
What is the .17 HMR chambering good for?
The .17 HMR is a fast, flat-shooting rimfire that really shines on varmints and small game like prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and rabbits out to distances where a .22 LR starts dropping fast. Paired with the 20 inch octagon barrel on this rifle, it makes a genuinely capable small game and pest control setup, not just a pretty range gun.
Is the Henry Golden Boy Silver made in the USA?
It is. Henry Repeating Arms builds all of its firearms in the United States, and the Golden Boy Silver reflects that with a smooth lever action, quality American walnut, and clean fit and finish throughout.
