Lever-action rifles remain a versatile platform for home defense, hunting, and truck-gun duties when built with modern features that extend capability without losing classic handling. A modernized carbine that blends traditional ergonomics with accessory-ready hardware can serve multiple roles for responsible owners.

HENRY BIG BOY X MODEL is a purpose-built lever-action carbine that brings contemporary utility to a proven design. The Big Boy X Model ships with durable black synthetic furniture that includes integrated mounting points for a sling, a solid rubber recoil pad, and both Picatinny and M-Lok accessory slots for lights, lasers, or rail-mounted grips. The 17.5″ carbine-length barrel is threaded at a 5/824 thread pitch and includes a screw-on thread protector so you can add a suppressor or muzzle device while keeping threads protected.

Key features and tactical fit

The rifle comes equipped with highly visible adjustable fiber optic sights front and rear for fast target acquisition in daylight, and a large loop lever that is comfortable with gloved hands. The 7-round removable tube magazine, paired with a side loading gate, lets users top off rounds without removing the tube or attached muzzle device—useful if you run a suppressor or prefer not to disassemble for loading.

Brass components are drilled and tapped to accept a BB-RSM, and the inclusion of a Picatinny rail provides shooters a straightforward mounting point for optics if they prefer a red dot or low-power scope. Priced at $914.99, this Henry lever-action targets shooters who want a durable, modernized classic that’s ready for customization.

Caliber options (.357 Magnum/.38 SPL) give the Big Boy X Model dual-role capacity: .357 Magnum offers effective stopping power for defense and short-range hunting, while .38 Special loads deliver softer recoil for training and high-volume range work. The combination of threaded barrel, M-Lok slots, and Picatinny rail means you can configure it as a bedside carbine, truck gun, or woods rifle.

Fit, finish, and practicality

Henry’s reputation for solid finishing and reliable lever actions carries through here—the blued metal and black synthetic stock balance corrosion resistance and weight savings. The synthetic stock’s sling mounting points and rubber recoil pad improve carry and follow-up comfort during extended use.
