Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the .35 Remington a good hunting cartridge for this rifle?
The .35 Remington is a proven brush-country hunting round, pushing a 200-grain bullet at approximately 2,080 fps. It delivers excellent knockdown power on whitetail deer, feral hogs, and black bear at typical woods ranges under 150 yards. Its moderate recoil makes it comfortable to shoot from a lightweight lever-action platform like this Henry, and the wide, flat-nosed bullets are safe to use in tubular magazines.
How does the side loading gate work alongside the tube magazine?
The Henry Side Gate design gives you the best of both worlds. The traditional removable tube magazine allows for safe, quick unloading by pulling the tube — a hallmark Henry feature. The side loading gate on the receiver lets you top off rounds individually without removing the tube, just like a classic Winchester-style lever action. This flexibility is especially useful in the field when you've fired one or two rounds and want to reload on the go without fully unloading the rifle.
Is the brass receiver as durable as a steel receiver?
Yes. Henry uses a specially hardened brass alloy for the receiver that matches the yield and tensile strength of steel. The brass is not merely decorative — it is fully functional and built to withstand the pressures and wear of regular shooting. As a bonus, brass is naturally corrosion-resistant, giving this receiver excellent longevity with minimal maintenance, while also lending the rifle its distinctive, heirloom-quality appearance.
