Some rifles get bought to fill a spot in the safe. This one gets handed down. The Henry Big Boy Deluxe Engraved takes the proven Big Boy Side Gate platform and dresses it the way rifles were dressed in the late 1800s, when a presentation gun was a genuine mark of respect. The polished hardened brass receiver and barrel band wear graceful scroll engraving, and because it is solid brass rather than plating, there is no coating to chip or wear thin over the years. The semi-fancy American walnut stock and forend carry their own engraved embellishment, and the brass buttplate finishes off the look from end to end. Henry limits production to 1,000 rifles, so each one is a numbered piece of a short run.
Under all that polish is a working lever gun. The 20 inch octagon blued steel barrel is rifled with a 1:20 twist to stabilize .44 Magnum and .44 Special loads alike, which makes this a legitimate deer rifle inside 100 yards and a soft-shooting plinker with Specials. The 10 round tube magazine loads from the removable brass tube up front or through the side loading gate, so you can top off without taking the rifle out of action. A brass bead front sight pairs with a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped if you would rather run a scope. The transfer bar safety means no manual crossbolt interrupting the clean lines.
At 8.68 pounds with a 38.5 inch overall length, the rifle carries some heft, and that weight works in your favor by soaking up .44 Magnum recoil. Henry traces this series back to the engraved rifle presented to Abraham Lincoln in 1862, and the spirit is the same: a gift-grade gun built to be used, admired, and passed along. Whether it marks a retirement, a milestone, or simply a spot at the top of your own collection, this is the Big Boy at its best dressed.
Yes, it is chambered to run both. Full-power .44 Magnum loads give you plenty of punch for deer and hogs at woods distances, while .44 Special makes for a mild, pleasant day of plinking. No adjustments needed, just load whichever you like.
It is. Henry produces the Deluxe Engraved series in numbered runs capped at 1,000 rifles, and earlier editions sold out quickly. That short production run is a big part of why these tend to hold their appeal with collectors.
You can. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so adding a scope base is straightforward. That said, the brass bead front and fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sights suit the rifle's classic character and work well at typical .44 Mag distances.
Both. This is a Side Gate model, so you can feed rounds through the loading gate on the right side of the receiver or drop them down the removable brass magazine tube. The side gate is handy for topping off the 10-round magazine without taking the rifle out of action.
