Description
There are commemorative rifles that hang on a wall, and then there are rifles like this one. The Henry Big Boy Eagle Scout Centennial Tribute 2nd Edition honors the highest rank in Scouting with genuine craftsmanship, not just a rollmark. The hardened brass receiver carries an engraving of the Eagle Scout Award Medal on the right side, selectively nickel plated so it stands out against the polished brass, with American-style scrollwork flowing around it and past the side loading gate. It's officially licensed by Scouting America, which matters if you're buying this to mark a real accomplishment.
The Details That Make This Eagle Scout Tribute Special
The American walnut furniture pulls its weight too. The forearm is engraved with Eagle Scout badges as they've appeared through history, and the buttstock features an engraved and painted bald eagle alongside the phrase every Eagle knows: Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle. A brass buttplate and 14-inch length of pull round out the traditional profile. At 38.5 inches overall, it displays beautifully and shoulders naturally.
A Working Big Boy in .44 Mag and .44 Special
Underneath the tribute treatment, this is a proper Big Boy, and that platform has earned its reputation. The 20-inch blued steel octagon barrel wears a brass bead front sight and a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a white diamond insert, and the tubular magazine holds ten rounds of .44 Magnum or .44 Special. The side gate lets you top off without pulling the mag tube, a transfer bar safety keeps things simple, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped if you'd rather run glass. Feed it .44 Special and it's a soft-shooting plinker; load .44 Mag and it'll handle deer and hogs inside typical lever gun distances.
Whether you earned the rank yourself, you're gifting it to someone who did, or you just appreciate a finely finished brass-receiver lever gun, this one delivers on both ends: display-worthy looks and honest-to-goodness range performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Henry Eagle Scout Tribute 2nd Edition just a display piece, or can I shoot it?
It's a fully functional Big Boy lever action, so it shoots as well as it looks. The 20-inch octagon barrel, adjustable semi-buckhorn sights, and 10-round tube make it perfectly at home at the range or in the deer woods. Plenty of buyers keep these unfired for collection value, but there's nothing stopping you from enjoying it. That choice is yours.
Does this rifle shoot .44 Special as well as .44 Magnum?
Yes, the chamber handles both .44 Magnum and .44 Special. Running .44 Special gives you noticeably lighter recoil and cheaper practice sessions, while .44 Mag brings full power for hunting. The tubular magazine holds ten rounds of either.
Can I mount a scope on the Henry Eagle Scout Tribute?
The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so adding a scope base is straightforward. Most folks keep the classic brass bead and semi-buckhorn iron sights for the traditional look, but a low-power scope or scout-style optic is a solid option if your eyes prefer glass.
How is the 2nd Edition different from the original Eagle Scout Centennial Tribute?
The 2nd Edition is officially licensed by Scouting America and features updated artwork, including the Eagle Scout Award Medal engraved and selectively nickel plated on the brass receiver, historical Eagle Scout badges on the forearm, and a painted bald eagle with the Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle motto on the buttstock. It also uses Henry's side gate loading design alongside the traditional tube magazine.
