About Henry Big Boy Special
The stock depicts a band of cowboys huddled around an open fire at the end of a long day on the range. The forearm is detailed with the image of a thundering herd of wild horses, kicking up dust as they gallop across the plains. After engraving, their highly skilled artisans painstakingly hand paint each detailed image using multiple, permanent acrylic colors with a final sealant coating applied for life long protection. The Big Boy's classic look includes a 20" octagonal barrel outfitted with a Marble semi buckhorn rear sight with a white diamond insert and a brass beaded front sight. Just like the rifles preferred by the cowboys of that bygone era, it sports a 10 round tubular magazine the legendary smooth action.

Number Nine... I Think?
I think this is Henry number nine. Fantastic gun. If you buy your first Henry you will never go back. American made quality. Every part of a Henry rifle is always perfect. None of mine have ever failed. My favorite is my Big Boy Silver Deluxe Engraved. Ve

357 Magnum
This was my first big bore Henry. I have a total of 10 in variations of the .22 and .17, and have had excellent service out of them. Back to the 357 though. The inner magazine tube failed on the fourth shot out of the rifle. Called Henry. Yep, they're as

Long term review of my "BigBoy"
I purchased my Henry BigBoy in 44Mag 3 years ago on black Friday. To this day every time I pull this sweet lever action out of the safe it gives me chicken skin. The only thing I've done to it is I added a large loop to enable cycling with gloves on. I ze

Best rifle I ever had
I own Winchester 30-30 Modle 92AE, Marlin 30-30 pre 1965, Savage 7mm mag. And by far the Henry Big Boy 44mag/special is the smoothest and most accurate rifle I have ever owned. I would recommend this rifle for anyone who wants accuracy, and a rifle that i

Fantatistic Firearm
I must beg to differ with trevor1953 as my great grandfather's 1860 Henry did load from under the barrel and ejected much like the Golden Boy. The spring was compressed toward the muzzle and the muzzle piece swung to the side to load the ammo. A bit diffe

pretty gun
I purchased the Big Boy 440Mag primarily for self defense, but also for fun shooting. It is a very pretty rifle, but I do not recommend it for self defense. Consistently, about 3 out of 5 rounds jam. I tried factory loads and reloads, same result. There i

Not Histoicaly correct, but Reliable
This Yellow Boy (YB) 1866 Henry manufactured by Henry Repeating Arms is not historically correct. The original YB loaded from the side and ejected from the top. This gun loads from a tube and ejects from the side. I took off the fore grip to make it look

Took my Big Boy 45 to the range over the weekend for the first time. I was shooting Winchester 250 cowboy loads. Went through both boxes with zero feed or ejection fails with some rounds fired in quick succession. I had read on some forums about issues bu

44mag: Gorgeous gun, great shooter & really fun!
Nothing really new here in my review, that hasn't been said already; but, this is a sweet little rifle. It is beautifully crafted in both looks and silky smooth operation. As others have noted here and elsewhere in reviews, it doesn't like to cycle when i

The Jury Did Not Like the Functioning
I sent my rifle back to the factory. The Henry guns have lifetime guarantees. They replaced a part that I am not sure needed replacing and said that they test fired my gun. It still did not function smoothly and still jammed frequently. To be honest I cou

Yes, this is a beautiful gun. The brass is beautiful and the wood is beautiful. It has excellent fit and finish. It is amazingly accurate and the recoil is very mild. It is very reasonably priced. I really like this gun.

Jury Is Still Out
I got one of these in .45 Long Colt. The gun is beautiful and flawless in appearance. It is very accurate. I did not intend to do Cowboy Action Shooting when I bought the gun, but now I am trying it. The gun I bought does jam some. For action shooting, th
