HENRY GOLDEN BOY

Design and features that matter in the field

The HENRY GOLDEN BOY is an Old-West inspired varmint hunting rifle with an American walnut stock, a Brasslite receiver, and a blued octagonal 20" barrel that delivers both balance and classic styling. The brass buttplate and Brasslite barrel band add to the vintage look while providing durable contact points for carried use. The large loop lever is functional—ideal for shooters wearing gloves or anyone who prefers a roomy lever sweep for smooth cycling.

Specifications and performance

Chambered in .17HMR, this rifle offers a flat, high-velocity trajectory well-suited to small varmint work and long-range rimfire precision. The tubular magazine holds 12 rounds, reducing reload interruptions during extended outings. Overall length is 38.5" with a weight of 6.75 lbs—light enough for a youth hunter to carry confidently yet stable at the bench for accurate follow-up shots.

The sight package includes an adjustable buckhorn-style rear and a beaded front sight for fast target acquisition consistent with lever-action traditions. For younger shooters or those with a smaller frame, a youth model is available with a 16.25" barrel and a shortened 13" length of pull, making the platform accessible without sacrificing capability.
