Henry All-Weather Lever Action Side Gate Rifle .45-70 4rd Magazine 18.43″ Barrel Black Stained Hardwood and Silver with Picatinny Rail

Description

The most identifiable feature of any scout rifle is the ability to mount a low-powered scope up further on the barrel as opposed to on top of the receiver. Mounting the scope closer to the front sight opens a huge amount of peripheral vision and makes target acquisition quick and natural especially with a bit of practice in aiming and shooting with both eyes open. It also eliminates the possibility of getting struck by the scope due to recoil. Henry’s extended picatinny rail provides ample space for you to experiment with this forward-mounting concept. Also in keeping with the scout rifle concept the extended picatinny rail includes a fully adjustable peep sight to keep you quick on target even without a scope.

Like the other entries in our line of All-Weather rifles Henry uses a specially treated hardwood for the stocks and a satin hard chrome plating on most of the metal surfaces for exceptional durability. These finishes are permanently bonded to the underlying material and will never chip peel or flake. This .45-70 also features a 4-round capacity with Henry’s “best of both worlds” removable tube magazine and side loading gate configuration sling swivel studs a ventilated rubber recoil pad and an internal transfer bar safety system.
