Pros & Cons
Pros: Stunning visual appeal with deep engraving. Impeccable Henry fit and finish. The .22LR chambering makes for affordable, low-recoil practice and hunting. The smooth action is legendary for a reason. It’s a conversation starter that’s also a practical tool.
Cons: The premium price reflects its decorative nature. The traditional buckhorn sights may not suit all shooters compared to modern optics—though it’s drilled and tapped for a scope mount. The straight-grip stock and lever throw require a specific handling technique. Here’s the thing—you’re paying for art that shoots, not a bare-bones utility rifle.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a standard scope base, compatible with models like the Weaver #22 or similar rimfire bases. This allows you to add modern optics without permanent modification.
Q: Is the engraving just on one side?
A: No. The Deluxe Engraved II features full-coverage engraving on both sides of the receiver, the lever, and the brass buttplate, providing a detailed view from any angle.
Q: What’s the main difference between this and a standard Golden Boy?
A: The extensive laser engraving is the defining upgrade. The standard model has minimal scrollwork, while the Deluxe Engraved II is covered in detailed scenes and patterns, elevating it from a working rifle to a display-grade piece.
