Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rifle shoot both .44 Magnum and .44 Special ammunition?

Yes. The Henry Big Boy Case Hardened Side Gate is chambered to accept both .44 Magnum and .44 Special cartridges interchangeably. This gives you the flexibility to use lighter .44 Special loads for target shooting or reduced recoil, and step up to full-power .44 Magnum loads for hunting or self-defense applications.

Why choose the 16.5" barrel over the standard 20" barrel?

The 16.5" compact model is easier to carry in the field, maneuver through dense brush, and store in a saddle scabbard or truck rack. It also features a large-loop lever that accommodates gloved hands in cold weather. While you'll see a modest reduction in muzzle velocity compared to the 20" version, the .44 Magnum still delivers more than enough energy for deer-sized game at typical hunting distances.

Is the case-hardened finish on every rifle unique?

Yes — the traditional case-hardening process produces a swirling pattern of blues, purples, and golds that is entirely unique to each individual receiver. No two Henry case-hardened rifles will look exactly alike, which adds a collectible, heirloom quality to every gun that comes off the line.
