Henry Big Boy 38/357 Color Case Hardened Side Gate Lever-Action Rifle

Heritage Style Meets Modern Reliability

The Henry Big Boy .38/.357 Color Case Hardened Side Gate Lever-Action Rifle blends the beauty of traditional firearm design with modern mechanical precision. Chambered for both .357 Magnum and .38 Special, it offers shooters versatility, power, and smooth operation — all in a rifle that proudly carries the Henry name.

Built for hunters, range shooters, and collectors, this model combines old-world craftsmanship with contemporary performance, making it one of the most admired lever-action rifles on the market today.

Distinctive Color Case Hardened Finish

The highlight of this model is its stunning color case-hardened steel receiver. Each rifle’s pattern is unique, showcasing a hand-crafted look that stands out in any collection. Beyond its beauty, the hardened finish adds corrosion resistance and long-term durability. It’s a finish designed not just to look extraordinary, but to last for generations.

The blued steel barrel and finely fitted American walnut stock complete the rifle’s timeless aesthetic, blending classic Western style with modern refinement.

Smooth Lever-Action with Side Gate Design

The lever action mechanism cycles cleanly and consistently, offering fast follow-up shots and dependable operation. The large loop lever provides a comfortable, sure grip, whether you’re at the range or in the field.

The side loading gate allows you to quickly top off rounds without removing the tubular magazine, while the magazine itself remains removable for safe unloading and maintenance — a hallmark of Henry’s thoughtful design approach.

Dual-Caliber Power and Accuracy

Chambered in .357 Magnum and .38 Special, this rifle provides flexible performance for both powerful hunting loads and lighter range rounds. The 20-inch blued steel barrel delivers excellent accuracy, while Henry’s precision rifling ensures consistent shot grouping and velocity.

Shooters will appreciate the rifle’s controllable recoil, smooth action, and steady balance — ideal for both target shooting and medium-game hunting.

Built for Strength and Longevity

Constructed with a solid steel receiver, American walnut furniture, and Henry’s trademark quality control, the Big Boy .38/.357 is designed to perform reliably under all conditions. Whether in the field or displayed in a collection, it carries the unmistakable build quality of a firearm made to last.
