The Henry Steel Lever Action Side Gate is an excellent example of a rifle that has stood the test of time. As the choice of big game hunters the steel side gate chambered in .45-70 Government offers your maximum stopping power for anything that would amble your way. The checkered American Walnut stock adds a classic visual appeal to the rounded 18.4" barrel with blued metal work. The side loading gate makes reloading quick and easy when you need to top off the 4 shot tubular magazine. The adjustable Semi-Buckhorn rear sight and brass beaded front sight provide you with an excellent quick acquisition sight picture. Should you decide to add an optic the receiver is drilled and tapped and will accept a Weaver 63B scope mount type which is sold separately.
