Big Boy Classic .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum & .327 Fed Mag
The Rifle That Brings Out The West In You
Back when the West was still wild and the rifle was the tool of choice for survival and frontier justice, the venerable .44-caliber put more meat on the table and outlaws in the ground than any other bullet.
The West may have been tamed and fenced long ago, but its unbridled spirit lives on in this line of traditional big-bore Henry rifles.
Choose from .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, and .327 Federal Magnum. All are SASS approved so Cowboy Action shooters who enjoy stepping back to that bygone era can use them in competition.
Don’t let the retro look fool you, these rifles are much more than shootin’ irons for today’s new breed of cowboy.
They’re also the unbeatable choice of big-game hunters who prefer the traditional look, feel, reliability and accuracy that comes from an authentic Henry rifle.
The traditional 20″ octagonal barrel is outfitted with a classic fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a reversible white diamond insert and a brass beaded front sight. The tubular magazine tops off at 10 rounds.
Both the straight-grip stock and forearm are crafted of select American walnut accented with a brass barrel band and Henry’s recognizable brass receiver. All have that crisp, smooth action that sets an authentic American-made Henry apart from other lever action rifles on the range and in the woods today.
The .44 Magnum rifle can shoot .44 special rounds, the .357 Magnum rifle can shoot .38 special rounds, and the .327 Federal Magnum rifle can also shoot .32 H&R.

I Love the Henry Big Boy 45 Colt that I purchased. It is an amazing shooting rifle . I use it for cowboy action shooting and wanted to pass along a photo of me competing last year. Thanks for producing such a great product.
Thanks

Mr Imperato,
Just a quick note to let you know I just read the article in the Sept 2015 shooting times. It confirmed that Henry LA 22s are the best out there. As I have both a Golden Boy (in 22mag) and an older Marlin 39A, I found the article of great interest. I agree with all the findings of the article and the tests they ran My Golden Boy is my favorite plinking gun – so smooth and so accurate.
I also have a Big boy (357) that I have been able to put multiple shots through the same hole at 50yds. I plan to use this for a hog hunt this fall.
Thanks for your superior products and keep up the great work.

Mr. Imperato,
You mentioned that we should buy more Henrys. Taking your suggestion, I just brought home my new Big Boy 44 mag. I am very pleased with it. Thanks for the advice.

Anthony,
I purchased a 44mag Big Boy for my son as an high school graduation gift this year. He has put the rifle to work this year during deer season. I thought you might enjoy this picture of his success. We both carried our Big Boys in the deer woods for the first time as Ohio just passed the law to allow pistol cartridge rifles for deer hunting. I am sure this will not be the last story of success with our Henry’s. Thanks for the workmanship in the rifles. They are a treat to carry and shoot. Keep up the good work.

Hello to the good people at Henry, This Henry Big Boy .44 rifle is the best that I have ever owned a real work of art and the guys at the gun rang are jealous. I have a feeling this will not be the last Henry I’ll buy. My wife really gave me a great suprise when she took me to the gun shop to buy this for me.I told my wife this rifle is the prettiest thing I’ve held in my hand since the day I took her hand in marriage 10 years ago.

Hey Anthony,
Just wanted to let you know that I finally purchased my Henry Big Boy .44 magnum. It is everything I expected. Beautiful craftsmanship and accuracy. I fell in love with it and proudly introduce it to my friends as well. To a man, they all marvel at the quality and simple elegance of this firearm.
So glad you stayed in touch all this time since I first ordered the catalogue. What I am asking myself now is….,”What took so long to get one ?”
Thanks again for a great American made product.
Cordially,
John Jesse

BESIDES —— no action shooter in the U.S. could pass up a Henry!
Thank you

I own a Henry Big Boy H006. I love this rifle! It is the smoothest lever action I’ve shot. I would like more information your new 30-30s.

My new Henry rifle, Big Boy 45 Colt. It shoots VERY well with 260 grain-and 305-grain cast bullets and the fit and finish is something to be proud of. I work very hard for my money and this rifle is worth every penny paid for it, head and shoulders above Marlin, Miroku WInchester, Uberti, and Rossi. Again, THANK YOU for for your personal attention and for producing the finest .45 Colt levergun to be found anywhere, right here in the United States. Also, congratulations on a very successful 1,000 rifle shoot last month.
