Lever-action rifles remain a viable choice for shooters who value fast follow-up shots, mechanical simplicity, and a distinct shooting experience. In the modern tactical and field roles, a compact, well-balanced carbine that pairs manageable recoil with solid terminal performance is often preferred by hunters, ranchers, and defensive shooters alike.

Design and build quality

The HENRY BIG BOY STEEL CARBINE swaps the brass frame of the Big Boy Classic for a weight-reducing steel frame and receiver and a thinner-walled round blued steel barrel. That combination trims mass without sacrificing the lever-action’s legendary durability. The American walnut checkered straight grip stock and forearm provide classic ergonomics and a secure purchase under recoil.

Features that matter in the field

Key factory features include a fully adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight with a reversible white diamond insert and a brass-beaded front sight for fast target acquisition. The sliding bar safety system and sling swivel studs add practical safety and carry options. The tubular magazine feeds seven rounds of .41 Mag, offering sustained fire when needed.

Carbine configuration and handling

The carbine-style 16.5″ barrel and large loop lever variant deliver a compact overall length (34″) and a weight of just 6.59 lbs, making this rifle easy to maneuver in tight spaces or thick brush. The 14″ length of pull keeps the rifle balanced for quick shouldering and consistent cheek weld.

Caliber considerations: .41 Mag

.41 Magnum in a carbine-length lever action provides notable muzzle energy with controllable recoil compared to larger magnum rifle cartridges. It’s well-suited for medium-game hunting at moderate ranges, defensive brush engagements, and shooters who prefer a heavy pistol-caliber punch in a rifle platform. The tubular magazine and lever action geometry work well with the .41 Mag’s tapered profile.

Price is competitive at $917.99 for a finished package that includes blued steel barrel, high-quality walnut furniture, and the factory sighting system. View product details and pricing for full specs and purchasing options.

It’s an excellent option for shooters who need maneuverability, reliable feeding from a tubular magazine, and the familiarity of a large-loop lever when required.
