Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of the side loading gate over a standard Henry tube magazine?

Henry's traditional design uses a removable tube magazine loaded from the front of the barrel — excellent for safe, complete unloading. The Side Gate model adds a side loading port on the receiver so you can top off the magazine quickly without fully removing the tube, much like a classic Winchester-style lever gun. You get the convenience of both systems in one rifle, making it faster to reload in the field without sacrificing the safe-unloading benefit of the tube magazine.

Is the .45-70 Government cartridge suitable for big game hunting?

Absolutely. The .45-70 Government has been harvesting large North American game since 1873 and remains one of the most capable brush-country hunting cartridges available. It is widely used for whitetail deer, black bear, feral hogs, elk, and even moose at ranges typically under 200 yards. Modern lever-action loads push heavy bullets at velocities that deliver exceptional stopping power, making this Henry an outstanding choice for dense-woods hunting scenarios where a hard-hitting, compact rifle is ideal.

Does the brass receiver affect the rifle's durability or strength?

Not at all. Henry engineers the brass receiver to meet the same yield and tensile strength standards as steel, so there is no compromise in structural integrity. The hardened brass is highly resistant to corrosion and wear, and it develops a beautiful patina over time that only adds to the rifle's character. You can count on the same long-term reliability Henry is known for, along with a distinctly elegant appearance that sets this model apart from standard blued or stainless alternatives.
