Some rifles are built to work, some are built to admire, and every now and then Henry builds one that does both. The Silver Eagle in .17 HMR is one of those. The pattern on its nickel-plated receiver traces back to the silver-plated Serial Number 9 Henry rifle presented to Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles back in the 1860s, and Henry recreated that scrollwork from original photos and drawings, cutting a new master plate with full coverage engraving on both sides of the receiver. Set that against a deep blued 20 inch octagon barrel and warm American walnut, and you've got a rifle that turns heads before it ever gets loaded.
The looks are only half the story here. The .17 HMR chambering turns this classic into a legitimate small game and varmint rig. That little 17 grain pill leaves the muzzle north of 2,500 fps and shoots noticeably flatter than a .22 Magnum, which makes prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and crows at 100 plus yards very doable. The 1:9 twist barrel wears a target crown, and the tube magazine holds 11 rounds, so you're not constantly topping off between shots.
Underneath the fancy dress this is the same smooth-cycling action Henry uses on the award-winning Golden Boy, with a lever throw that's slick right out of the box and only gets better with use. Sights are a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a reversible white diamond insert and a brass bead up front, a setup that's quick to pick up in the field. If you'd rather stretch the .17 HMR's legs with glass, the receiver comes drilled and tapped for a scope mount. A 14 inch length of pull and 6.75 pound weight make it comfortable for just about any shooter in the family.
Between the heirloom-grade engraving, the walnut, and a caliber that's genuinely useful, the Silver Eagle is the kind of rifle that gets shot on Saturday and shown off on Sunday. It carries American history on its receiver and Henry's lifetime of lever gun know-how everywhere else.
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can add a scope base and take full advantage of the .17 HMR's flat trajectory. The adjustable semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front sights work great as-is if you prefer to keep it traditional.
The tubular magazine under the barrel holds 11 rounds of .17 HMR. Loading is done through the tube rather than a side gate, which is the classic Henry rimfire setup. That's plenty of capacity for a day of plinking or varmint work without constant reloading.
The Silver Eagle pattern is rolled onto the nickel-plated receiver from a master plate that was hand cut using original photos and drawings of the historic Serial Number 9 Henry rifle presented to Navy Secretary Gideon Welles. The scrollwork covers both sides of the receiver. It's a production process, but the artwork itself started as genuine hand engraving.
If varmints and small game are on the menu, absolutely. The .17 HMR shoots flatter and faster than a .22 Magnum, making hits on prairie dogs and similar critters at 100 to 150 yards much easier. Paired with the 20 inch octagon barrel and a scope, this rifle is capable of impressive accuracy for a rimfire lever gun.
