Description
There is a reason the Golden Boy has become one of Henry's most recognizable rifles. Set the H004L Large Loop next to just about anything else on the rack and it stands out immediately. The polished Brasslite receiver, barrel band, and brass buttplate glow against a 20 inch blued octagon barrel and genuine American walnut furniture. It looks like something pulled straight out of a frontier saddle scabbard, but underneath all that shine is a modern rimfire built in the USA that runs as good as it looks.
What the Large Loop Lever Brings to the Table
The big difference between this model and the standard Golden Boy is right there in the name. The oversized loop gives you extra room to work the action, which pays off if you have larger hands, shoot with gloves in cold weather, or just like the classic Western profile. The action itself is what Henry built its reputation on, cycling with a slick, effortless feel that makes burning through a tube of ammo way too easy. Speaking of that tube, it holds 16 rounds of .22 LR, and the rifle will also happily digest .22 Short and .22 Long, with capacity climbing to 21 rounds when running Shorts.
Shooting the Golden Boy H004L
At 6.75 pounds, this rifle carries more heft than most rimfires, and that works in its favor. The weight settles the muzzle for steady offhand shots, and paired with .22 LR there is basically no recoil to speak of. The fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with diamond insert and brass bead front sight give you a proper traditional sight picture, and the receiver accepts a scope mount if you want to stretch its legs on small game. Whether you are teaching a new shooter the fundamentals, thinning out squirrels, or just spending a Saturday ringing steel, the Golden Boy H004L is one of those rifles that ends up being the favorite in the safe. It gets handed down, not traded in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ammo can the Henry Golden Boy H004L shoot?
The Golden Boy's tubular magazine feeds .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably. Capacity is 16 rounds of .22 LR and up to 21 rounds when loaded with .22 Shorts. That flexibility makes it a great match for whatever rimfire ammo you have on hand.
What is different about the Large Loop version of the Golden Boy?
The H004L swaps the standard lever for an oversized loop, giving you more room to cycle the action. It is a real benefit if you have bigger hands or shoot with gloves in cold weather, and plenty of folks pick it simply for the classic Western look. Everything else about the rifle matches the standard Golden Boy.
Can I mount a scope on the Henry Golden Boy H004L?
Yes. The receiver is set up to accept a scope mount, so you can add glass for small game hunting or tighter groups at the range. Many owners run it with the factory irons though, since the adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front make a clean, traditional sight picture.
Is the Golden Boy receiver made of real brass?
The receiver cover is Henry's Brasslite, a polished brass-toned alloy that delivers the same warm golden look as traditional brass. The buttplate is genuine brass, and the barrel band matches the receiver finish. The result is that unmistakable Golden Boy shine without adding unnecessary weight.
