Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who values heritage as much as function. It’s for the collector who wants a display piece that can still head to the back forty for squirrel. It’s for the father looking to pass down a tangible piece of American history along with fundamental marksmanship skills. When it comes to introducing a new shooter to rifles, the light recoil and iconic lever-action operation of this .22 make it an ideal first gun—no gunsmithing required to get started.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The historical tribute engraving is genuinely unique and well-executed. The ability to fire three .22 cartridges provides ammo flexibility, especially useful in times of scarcity. Henry’s build quality is consistently high, offering a smooth, out-of-the-box action. It’s a conversation starter that performs.
Cons: The premium for the commemorative styling is real compared to a standard Golden Boy. The blued steel and walnut require more conscious maintenance than a synthetic-stocked rifle if used in harsh conditions. That said, its 38.5-inch overall length makes it less maneuverable in thick brush than a carbine.

A: It chambers and fires .22 Short, .22 Long, and .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridges interchangeably from its tube magazine. Always use high-quality ammunition from brands like CCI or Federal for best reliability.

A: Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard scope base, compatible with mounts from companies like Weaver or Warne, allowing you to add optics while preserving the classic lines.
