FAQ

Is this rifle safe for high-velocity .22 LR?

Yes. Per Henry Repeating Arms specs, the Golden Boy action is rated for .22 S/L/LR, including high-velocity loads. Stick to standard-velocity for best accuracy in matches.

Can I mount a red dot without a gunsmith?

Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped for #6-48 screws, compatible with most rimfire scope bases. A simple Picatinny rail installs in minutes.

How many were produced in this limited run?

Henry produced 1,000 units of the Texas Rangers Bicentennial Tribute. Each receiver is individually numbered, adding to its collector appeal.

Does the gold plating affect durability?

The 24kt plating is cosmetic and will show wear over time if handled regularly. For safe queens or occasional match use, it holds up well. Clean with a soft cloth—avoid abrasives.

What is the difference between this and the standard Golden Boy?

This edition adds the Texas Rangers engraving, 24kt gold highlights, an octagon barrel, and an oversized lever. The standard Golden Boy has a round barrel, brasslite receiver, and plain walnut stock.
