Some rifles get bought to sit in a safe, and some get bought to shoot. This one manages to be both. The Big Boy Deluxe Engraved from Henry Repeating Arms takes their proven side gate lever action and dresses it up the way rifles were dressed up in the late 1800s, with flowing leafy scrollwork, fine beading, and a scalloped border cut into the polished hardened brass receiver. The engraving carries over to the barrel band, the top of the receiver, and the upper tang behind the hammer, so the detail work holds up no matter which angle you admire it from. Because the receiver is solid hardened brass rather than plated steel, there is no coating to flake or wear thin over the years.
Underneath the dress-up, this is a genuine .45 Colt lever gun ready for the range or the deer woods. The 20 inch octagon blued steel barrel carries a 1:16 twist, and the sights are a proper setup for a rifle like this: a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear with a reversible white diamond insert paired with a brass bead up front. The receiver is also drilled and tapped if you ever want glass on it. The tubular magazine holds 10 rounds, and the side loading gate lets you top off without pulling the mag tube, while the removable tube still gives you a quick, simple way to unload at the end of the day.
Henry limits production of the Deluxe Engraved to 1,000 units per caliber, and once they sell through, that is the end of the run. Between the uniquely figured fancy American walnut, the brass buttplate, and the smooth action Henry lever guns are known for, this is the kind of rifle that gets handed down rather than traded in. It weighs in at 8.68 pounds with a 38.5 inch overall length, which gives it a steady, planted feel at the bench and just the right heft offhand. If you have been waiting for a reason to own one truly special lever action, this is a strong candidate.
It is built on the same side gate Big Boy action Henry sells as a working rifle, so it will handle regular range trips and hunting seasons just fine. The receiver is solid hardened brass with no plating to chip off, and the blued octagon barrel and walnut furniture are standard hard-use materials. Plenty of owners shoot theirs and simply wipe it down afterward like any other lever gun.
You get both options with this model. The side loading gate lets you feed rounds directly into the receiver and top off the 10-round magazine on the fly, while the traditional removable inner magazine tube gives you a quick and simple way to unload without cycling every round through the action.
Yes, the receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so adding a rail and optic is straightforward. That said, the fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with its reversible diamond insert and the brass bead front are very usable as-is, and most buyers keep the classic iron sight look on a rifle like this.
Henry caps the Deluxe Engraved Side Gate at 1,000 units per caliber, and once a run sells out it will not be produced again. That scarcity is a big part of why these tend to hold their appeal with collectors, especially in a classic chambering like .45 Colt.
